Winery Chefs and Richard Haake continue to contribute to Wine Crush Radio.

Last year I made several guest contributions to the Wine Crush, a syndicated  radio program hosted by Laura Lawson. Laura and the team at Wine Crush cover many topics in a hour and provide the avid as well as novice wine consumer with a wealth of information thats very entertaining. Several of my recipes are available on their web site. To find out the wine recommendations for the recipes you will have to listen to the program.  I’ll be taping a holiday episode tomorrow. I will post it when it aires. Cheers!!!!

Ziata WInes releases inaugural Pinot Noir with recipe developed by Winery Chefs.

I knew Karen Cakebread had created something special when I tasted her inaugural Sauvignon Blanc this past summer. It just scored a 90 in the Wine Enthusiast. I have a palate for these things and when you get to taste a wine during recipe testing you learn a lot about different nuances of a wine. She’s done a great job with her 2008 Pinot Noir. Karen has posted is the perfect seasonal recipe for this time of the year that pairs with this new release. Get a bottle and try it out.
