PLT-Pork Burger with Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato Seth and Angela Raynor’s Sauteed East Coast Halibut with Coconut-Kaffir Lime Sauce WINE NOTES Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc: Martinborough, New Zealand is a rising star in the wine world, not just for sauvignon blanc, but for the great chardonnay and pinots they produce in the cool, dry climate. Also notable about Martinborough is that single vineyard wines are becoming more popular. Unlike its Marlborough counterpart, this wine is crisp and clean with nice limey and passion fruit notes without the searing acidity generally associated with the new world sauvignon blancs. The wine has a ‘stelvin closure’ aka screw cap -- many new world wineries, especially in Australia and New Zealand have chosen to use this sealing method, especially in whites, to avoid tainted corks from spoiling the wine. BlueGinger House Ginger Ale: A great fresh drink using ginger syrup and soda water or sparkling water. It will change the way you think about soft drinks. Just boil water, add fresh, peeled ginger and allow to steep. To make the syrup combine fresh, peeled ginger and equal parts water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until you get a slightly syrupy texture. Strain and chill. Fill a glass with 2 parts sparkling or soda water. Pour 1 part ginger syrup down the side of the glass so it forms a layer on the bottom. Stir before drinking. This ginger syrup can also be used to flavor teas or served over fresh fruit or ice cream. |
