It's all about food, wine and cooking. And one of the things I'd love to discuss is wine. My first question for the Radio Kitchen forum is: Are you a red wine drinker?
If so, what do you like? If not, why not? I'm a huge fan of drinking what wine you like. And I love exploring new wines to pair with food. Red wines can seem complicated. And wine "experts" sometimes go out of their way to make them more complicated than they need to be. That's why I really like this blog post from Steven Mirassou of Steven Kent and La Rochelle wineries, and now a new venture, Lineage Wines in Livermore California. Check it out, and then sound off! Let me know... http://lineagewine.blogspot.com/2010/02/evolutions-thing.html

i hope i'm not showing myself to be a total cretin, but i love me a Hess Cabernet Sauvignon. i'm still enjoying Merlot, altho it's not fashionable anymore. we have some really excellent vineyards in the area...Berrien County in Michigan is a great place to grow wine grapes. Tabor Hill, Karma Vista, Lemon Creek, and The Round Barn Winery are all developing lovely wines.

Jay Harlow, a chef I interviewed a few years ago talked about "thinking globally and drinking locally" He was talking aobut beer, but it applys to wine and other beverages as well. So I'm glad that you are so "enlightened" about your local wines  BTW, I'll be posting those interviews with Jay from the Radio Kitchen Archives soon, so look out for them.
As far as being a cretin, no, you know what you like and there's nothing wrong with that. You should listen to the interview I did with John Cleese (yes, John Cleese of Monty Python fame), he's a wine lover and definately not a snob. He has some insight on wine drinking and preference that is very enlightening.
Cheers! And thanks for Sharing, Shelly.

*gasp* John Cleese!! you did a great job of holding it together whilst talking to the great one. how fun to get to talk to him about food and wine!!
he mentioned escolar in your interview. i had escolar in crayfish creole cream sauce at Emeril's New Orleans Fish House in Las Vegas about ten years ago. the escolar was flaky and mild and the sauce was really one of the best things i had put in my mouth up to that point in my life. really spectacular.
thanks for the wine absolution. good to know that just because i like a "two-buck Chuck" every now and then, i'm not a lowlife
