The French expatriates I meet during all my travels put my story into perspective when I resigned from my job in a bank earning a comfortable salary for the time and sent me living into a low-rent housing in La Plante in Libourne and where the previous secure income made way to… none (thank you ... Murielle). Each trip, and here once again, the French "on duty", sommelier, translator,...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . 12173 / 50000 This article from Politics Daily caught my eye (tweeted by @robinwasserman) yesterday. Lizzie Skurnick discusses the consistent way that literary awards lists are dominated by male authors. As some of you know, this one’s a pet topic of mine. Skurnick’s article particularly interests me because she cuts...

Seared Foie Gras and Doughnuts ! A pairing of two of my favorite foods. That decadent dish stood out to me amidst over a dozen other delicious items. Yet that is also not to slight all of the other treasures I found at the recent StarChefs Rising Star Revue . I previously mentioned this event, and in brief, 14 of Boston's chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists received a Rising Star award....
HoseMaster of Wine (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
As a young man learning about the joy and mystery of wine, I spent a lot of time traveling and speaking with winemakers and winery owners searching for wisdom. I didn't know it then, but that's a little bit like searching for humility on Wall Street. Or blind tasting notes in Wine Spectator. Futile. But it was while searching for wine wisdom that the HoseMaster was born. In the course of being a sommelier...

Lizzie Skurnick: "I just want to say," I said as the meeting closed, "that we have sat here and consistently called books by women small and books by men large, by no quantifiable metric, and we are giving awards to books I think are actually kind of amateur and sloppy compared to others, and I think it's disgusting ." (I wasn't built for the board room.) "But we can't be doing...

Last night, after a night of many a Poulsard with friends (more on that soon), I wanted to open a bottle of good Champagne to close out the evening. But what to open? My companions included a guy who until recently worked at Michael Skurnik wines, so nothing from Terry Theise. A woman who works at Chambers Street Wines, so nothing that they sell. And a prominent Sommelier at a great NYC restaurant,...

It's National Curry Week again next month, and aficionados of Indian restaurants may be startled to find themselves being coaxed to reconsider their choice of drinks by waiters newly appointed as sommeliers. For the reflex choices of old, lager and pinot grigio, are not necessarily the best accompaniments to fine food from the subcontinent. At least, that's the belief of two competing factions who...

I've seen some weak articles on wine and food pairing, but I think one in Wine Spectator's Nov. 15 edition about pairing wine with steak -- the food nearly every red wine maker seems to want on the menu for its wine-pairing dinners -- is the worst ever. Here's why. 1) It's completely worthless to the reader for practical advice. 2) In four pages of copy, only three wines are mentioned, costing $175,...

Something is growing in the Four Seasons hotel. The former 57 space reopened this week as the Garden, bedecked with four enormous African acacia trees. Equally imposing: Former Le Bernardin sommelier Lacey Rozinsky’s wine list flaunting over 160 old- and new-world selections by the glass, ranging from $12 to $40 a pour. To complement it, the hotel's executive sous chef Anthony Zamora composed...
