Last week, I was fortunate and privileged to be invited by Andrew McManara (Master Sommelier for Premier Beverage in Florida) to what can only be described as a masochistic adventure into the deepest recesses of some of the most knowledgeable wine masters minds on the planet. Much like a Jedi convention of the Knights of Star Wars, the event … Read More
Wine and Beverage Director Patrick Emerson recently presented at Charleston’s Pecha Kucha Night 8, held the Music Farm. Japanese for the sound of conversation, Pecha Kucha is a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour that has become a forum for numerous forms of creativity around the world. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for just 20 … Read More
While some may follow the “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” advice, as a sommelier I tend to lean more toward “a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away”. According to a recently published article, I might really be on to something! “Wine May Cut Decline in Thinking Skills “ Enjoy…your heart and mind will thank … Read More
I am in Chiavari, found on the Italian Riviera and best known for its chair-making, lace and silk production. However, one of my very favorite importers of wine to the US, Neil Rosenthal, represents a winemaker here named Pierluigi Lugano, and it is he, along with the Bisson Enoteca/winery, that I am here to see. Pierluigi started Bisson in 1978, … Read More
Wrenching myself from the beauties of Piedmonte is not an easy thing to do. I have fallen in love with the region’s food, wine and natural beauty, but I console myself with the excitement of future adventures and a quiet promise to myself that one day I will return. Even though I am at the foot of the Alps, I … Read More
I was privileged to have the opportunity to taste through many wines at wineries, oenoteccas (wine bars) and restaurants while in Piedmonte, from some tremendous producers like Rinaldi, Ratti, Marchesi di Barolo, Bovio, Chiarlo, Gaja and Pio Cesare. I have really fallen in love with their complexity, purity of flavors and fine balance. The reds make terrific pairings for many … Read More
I am struck by the sheer natural beauty of this place. Green, lush hills contrast with the red terracotta tiled roofs. The crisp mountain air makes it feel very pristine; cool in the shade and very warm in the direct bright sun. Everywhere one looks there are grapes being grown. It is the season for “veraison” when the grapes start … Read More
It is the light. Beautiful, glorious streams of light pierce through the broken clouds and reflect off of the glistening airport tarmac. This is the most striking thing that I notice upon arrival in Milan, Italy. I am gearing up for a journey that will take me through some of the greatest wine regions on this planet and I am … Read More
Good God can it get any hotter? Like all good Englishmen I enjoy talking about the weather as much as anyone, but really, this summer has been out of control, crazy heat. Durban, South Africa is the only place that I have been that is comparable to Charleston for the shear heat and humidity. At home, my AC unit struggles … Read More
I recently had the opportunity to compete in a gin cocktail competition. The parameters were pretty straight forward – make the best original drink that you can using Bombay Sapphire gin as the base liquor. Last year I was lucky enough to win a trip to Las Vegas to represent Charleston in the national mix-off competition. After spending three days … Read More
