Hi, everyone:

On October 12, 2008 and October 19, 2008 at 11 p.m., PBS affiliate KRCB (channel 22 in Santa Rosa, CA) will be broadcasting a program we produced entitled THE SPIRIT OF NEW WINE. The program, divided into three parts, is a great induction into wine. It discusses wine's ties to culture, music, art, food and faith. It is really enjoyable, fast paced and informative.

We hope you will all be able to watch it!

Thanks,

Tom Brickel

Cilantro-Key Lime Chicken Paired with Dry White Wine

The idea behind this dish started when I was infusing olive oil with cilantro to create dipping oil for bread. After I infused the oil, I was about to throw away the wilted cilantro when the idea for using it to flavor chicken struck me. As a result, we have cilantro themed dinners from time to time.

How did you start your wine cellar?

My wine cellar started out as a case box on its side in the bottom of my closet. Then it was two cases. Over a few months, it grew to three cases. My shoes and my clothes started getting in the way. I added my fourth box.

You pull into the winery and eagerly stride into the tasting room. The server talks you though their wines they are pouring. Usually they are happy to pour a second, or third, taste of the wine(s) you liked. Then it is time to get down to business. You can order a mixed case to take with you or ship home.
