Wine and Gift Baskets: A Great Pairing
Wine and cheese may be a classic pairing, but the the perfect wine for a special occasion is is the ultimate pairing. Can you think of an occasion where wine won't make for better enjoyment? Neither can I.
The holiday season may as well be called the party season because of all the festivities that take place. Unplanned get togethers and unexpected guests are a common occurrence. In situations like these you don't want to be seen as a poor host. It's best to stock up so that won't happen.
Merchants expect large orders at this time of year and offer special deals on large shipments. Some employers like to include a bottle of wine as part of the employee Christmas bonus. For those employees that don't drink, non alcoholic versions are available as well.
If you're a guest to a holiday party, a bottle of wine is always a tasteful token of appreciation to offer your host. It shows you appreciate their efforts and builds good will. In fact, good wine shared over a good meal on special occasions makes for lasting memories.
If you're entertaining clients near the holidays, consider having a wine gift basket waiting in their room on arrival. Wine gift baskets are available for every special occasion, but imagine your client finding a beautiful basket waiting in their hotel room. It will get things off on the right foot. The ingredients of these baskets are gourmet quality and are picked to go expressly with the chosen wine--great pairings like truffles and champagne.
Not to worry if your dealing with a beer lover. Imported beer baskets are thoughtfully conceived to include great pub beers with goodies like pistachios and pretzels in the basket. Your beer lover can enjoy them while watching a football game--whether that's the NFL or UEFA variety. Cheers!

Allee Bleue "Isabeau" Chardonnay/Semillon
The Allee Bleu Isabeau is a blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Chardonnay and spends 9 months in 50% new French oak barrels. The result is a sophisticated and elegant dry white wine with aromas of orange blossoms, marmalade toast and lemon butter. Complex on the palate, flavors of lime and citrus, rich butterscotch flavors and peaches and cream reveal themselves through multiple layers. A generous and smoky citrus finish leaves a lasting impression and makes the Isabeau a great partner for shellfish and with fish and pasta dishes with cream sauces. ABCS03 ABCS03

Ratha Chau and Scott Burnett, Kampuchea

Kampuchea was one of two Cambodian restaurants recently profiled in the Times, where it was accurately pointed out that there is a dearth of Cambodian cuisine in New York. Chef/Owner Ratha Chau and Co-Executive Chef and Partner Scott Burnett are attempting to rectify that. Veering from a more traditional route, they base their menu on Cambodian street food, but add their own creative twists. Ratha and Scott took a break between lunch and dinner service to discuss Kampuchea and Num Pang, their u

A review of Yountville’s Redd
Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:26:48 PDT
Just about this time last year we paid a visit to Redd in Yountville for lunch (see our photos). Overall, it was an enjoyable visit–good service, good food and good wine. We’d certainly heard loads of good things about the restaurant and left full, satisfied, but certainly not blown away. Over the weekend the Financial Times ran its own review of Redd, coming to the same conclusions we did. Here are the key excerpts: Opened a few years ago, Redd replaced a primary-coloured trattoria with som
