A tasting of one of California?s top sparkling wine producers

Sonoma county is relatively well known for a number of reputable sparkling wine producers, who make bubblies in the traditional Champagne method (i.e. second fermentation in the bottle). In my mind, with all due respect to all other methods of getting CO2 into a wine, the method of Champagne is the only way to go for any serious drinkin'! And while nothing touches Champagne itself (with the exception of perhaps Italy's Franciacorta and Trento DOC), our traditional method domestics from Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties, such as Roederer Estate, Domaine Chandon, Mumm, Domaine Carneros, Schramsberg and Gloria Ferrer, are not bad at all, and offer really delicious and cheaper alternatives, and a sense of patriotism...

8 delicious Kosher wines to celebrate each night of Hanukkah

This year, Hanukkah begins early, marked by sunset on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Hanukkah is known as the "Festival of Lights", commemorating Israel's freedom from the oppressive Syrian-Greek rule and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem...It?s customary to eat deep-fried foods to celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah, in which a cruse of oil lasted for eight days instead of one. I can?t swear to this, but I'd guess a lot of American Jews, myself included, love the fact that while goyim only have one day of presents, we get ?8 crazy nights?, as Adam Sandler says in his first Hanukkah song.

Pairing wine with anything fried can be difficult. Fried foods need acidic wines to cut the fat. Here are 8 of my Hanukkah menu specific and ?fried food friendly? kosher wines, one for each night...

What?s your ?electric chair? food and wine pairing?

When hanging out with fellow food obsessed friends and wine nerds, I often throw the following question out to the crowd to see the responses it will elicit:

If forced to choose, what would be your "electric chair" food and wine pairing?

In other words, what would you eat and drink for your very last meal on God's little green earth. Inevitably, names like DRC, Lafite, d'Yquem and Krug weave their way into the conversation, matched with foods like duck breast, Wagyu, Foie Gras, and Sturgeon Caviar...
