While in California last week, I had the chance to visit an old friend up in the wine country and tour an outstanding vineyard.  Newton was established in 1977 after co-founder Su Hua fell off her horse on Spring Mountain (the vineyard’s site), and was rescued by a rancher who conveniently told her that the land was for sale.  Needless to say, she and her husband Peter Newton bought the property and the rest is history.  Only about 2500 people get to visit the winery each year, so I felt honored to be one the few.  The wine is fantastic, and White House approved.

Random fact:  The Vineyard was featured in Japanese Sideways.

Artichoke Spread, Asiago Cheese, Lettuce, and Italian Beef on a Ciabatta Roll. When can we get that here?

Apparently, the new sandwich is  leaving a ‘bad taste’ in the mouth of some in Italian circles. Read the full story here and check out a video as well from the BBC.

I spent last Sunday on a drunk in Long Island.  My buddy Flaherty made Beer Can Chicken, it’s good.  I woke feeling like I ate a campfire though.

I used to live across from a family who had a thai housekeeper named Dang.  She would always make these instant noodles called MAMA, they were so good.  I found them here, and I’m happy.

While we’re not fruity vodka drinkers, Absolut Berriaçai is a perfect way to get a weekend brunch started. Even drinking it straight with a side of pancakes (trust us).

I had a chance to drink some ROOT over the weekend.  As you can see from the empty bottle, it was popular.  If you can find it, definitely pick up a bottle or two.  A nice video relating the history of the drink is after the jump.

Mine would look something like that above. The fried chicken would have to be Korean Fried Chicken though, and I’d substitute the beans for lasagna.
