CMN - Food Philosophy #64

Food Philosophy #64: Chocolate Holiday Treats

We are in the thick of the holiday season, so if you're like me you probably cringe at the idea of going to the mall. Fear not! Online gift options abound, and I found a few gems from our friends at Lillie Belle Farms and Saxon Chocolates that are oh-so-perfect for the decadent gift-giver (even if the recipient is you). From smoky blue cheese truffles to enrobed chocolate treats that call for disrobing, you can stay right at home and let the beauty of the internet make your holiday season a calm one.

We've also got an incredible collection of holiday gifts in the Gilded Fork Boutique, and as a Food Philosophy listener you can get 10% off your order with code FPHOLIDAY at checkout. Happy shopping!

CMN - All You Can Eat #43

All You Can Eat #43: Two Meatballs

You know, there are certain foods in this world that elicit fierce opinions from the people who make them. One such food is…the meatball. Sure, meatballs might not be considered gourmet fare by most people, but every cook or chef has their own recipe, and their recipe is of course the best. This week on All You Can Eat, I take you to Barbara-Jo’s Books To Cooks store in downtown Vancouver, where my wife Ramona and I were the judges as four experts battled for meatball supremacy.

CMN - A Guy, A Girl and a Bottle #41

GNGNB #41: Bennett Lane Winery

In this episode of a guy, a girl, and a bottle we visit the Bennett Lane winery (www.bennettlane.com), which is located on the north end of Napa Valley off Hwy 128, just past Hwy 29 in Calistoga. On our visit we did something that was quite unique, we were able to blend our own bottle of wine! (This occurred under guidance of Rob Hunter, Bennett Lanes' resident winemaker) and this is an experience that is available to the public in small groups, check their website for the Bennett Lane Custom Blend Experience. Check out the podcast to hear what happens, and to see if we are going to drop the podcasting gig and become wine makers ourselves.

In addition to our wine blending experience we tasted some amazing wines, two of which are their signature wines. The Maximus and the Primus Reserve Cabernet, both were amazing wines. Randy Lynch not only is the owner of a great winery, but he also is the only winery in Napa Valley to own a NASCAR race team. You can check out more about the team and follow them as they compete on the NASCAR West Circuit.

Lastly, we'd like to say a special thanks to our sponsors for this episode Hamilton Beach. Check out the latest line of eclectric mixers, just in time for the holidays!
