WINE NOTES
Finca Allende SL 2001:
100% Tempranillo. Dual exposures of the DeGregorio
family vineyards result in two distinct microclimates. The vineyards
that face north-northwest produce grapes that are higher in acidity,
which gives the wine structure. The south-southeast-facing vineyards
produce grapes with ripe fruit aromas. Estate-bottled unfiltered.
Mumm Rose Champagne: An original cuvee combining
nuance & finesse coming from Cordon Rouge grapes and power and fruit
from Pinot Noir. Delicate and smooth.

Ginger Syrup
Master
Makes about 4 cups
- 4 cups sugar
- 2 cups fresh ginger, cut into 1/8-inch
slices (about 2 large hands)
- 2 cups water
In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine
sugar, ginger and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer
until syrupy and reduced by half, about 40 to 45 minutes. Strain
ginger pieces out and reserve syrup.
(Trick: toss dried ginger in sugar, bake at 200 degrees until dried
thru, about 4 hours and voila-ginger candy)
Best Ever Ginger-Lime
Ale
Serves 4
- 1 quart club soda, well chilled
- 1/2 cup ginger syrup
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Candied ginger, for garnish
Fill four glasses with club soda. Pour two
tablespoons ginger syrup down side of each glass to create a layer
of syrup on bottom. Squeeze lime wedge into each drink, garnish with
a fresh lime wedge and candied ginger.
