GRILLED SHRIMP OVER HOMEMADE ZOODLE’S 24 JULY 2022

By

 

Sometimes the best dinner is a simple home-cooked dinner; last night was one of those.  The seafood and other ingredients came from New Wave Seafood and Stew Leonards-East Meadow, as fresh ingredients are essential.  The Shrimp are six large ones mounted on 2 Rosemary infused Olive oil-coated bamboo skewers.  Then using the assembled  Shrimp, sprinkle them with a dash of Old Bay, spray with EVOO, and set them aside to rest in the fridge for several hours.  Using a fresh Zucchini and a Kitchen Aid Mixer Spiralizing attachment did quick work of producing a nice pile of Zoodles.  The Zoodles are laid out on paper towels to air dry for about an hour.  Starting with just a touch of rosemary-infused EVOO, sauté fresh chopped Garlic, then add a chunk of Irish butter.  When melted and sizzling, stir in the Zoodles, stirring constantly, then add grated Romano cheese to taste.  The Shrimp are seared on an inferred burner (Very hot 1800⁰ F) on the Bar-B-Que for about 1 minute per side.  Plate the Zoodles on a warm plate, resting the Shrimp on top, then enjoy (Fig 01).  The Grilled Shrimp and Zoodles needed pairing with an excellent red daily table wine.  Pellegrini Vineyards 2014 Regalo hit the mark perfectly (Fig 02).  The 2014 Regalo is a blend of Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon (Fig 03).  The Regalo is a well-aged smooth tannin, bright acid, with good fruit wine that is a perfect match for the richness of the Zoodles without overpowering the Grilled Shrimp.  Total time in the kitchen was about 1 hour for this quick and easy dinner.

ADROIT 2021 TROUSSEAU SILETTO ESTATE 17 SEPT 2022

  Another day, another fine wine.  Today’s wine came from a friend who has a friend Chris Miller the winemaker at Seabold Cellars .   Chris is also currently involved at Adroit , a winery exploring California’s underutilized wine-growing regions.   The wine for today is an Adroit Wines 2021 Trousseau Stiletto Estate (Fig 01).   Today’s tasting is the first time encountering the Trousseau Grape , an ancient grape from eastern France.  Trousseau is primarily blended in other wines and ports, but here in California the is experimental work being done to use the grape for table wine.  The Trousseau leads with rich dark cherry and rich fruit but with just enough tannins to provide a clean, dry finish.  The Trousseau proved to be the most enjoyable, easy-drinking wine, leaving me looking to acquire many more bottles.  #california #seaboldcellars #adroit #stilettoestate FIG 01 - ADROIT 2021 TROUSSEAU SILETTO ESTATE 17 SEPT 2022

ROANOKE VINEYARDS 2019 GABBY’s CABERNET FRANC 18 SEPT 2022

  A few weeks ago, the 2022 futures wines were picked up, which included a three-pack of Roanoke Vineyards Gabby’s Cabernet Franc 2020.  Given that the three-pack is a 2020 vintage, one might wonder why the bottle we opened is a 2019 Gabby (Fig 01), the exact reason remains a bit of a mystery, but one can assume it was a simple mix-up (Fig 02).  The mix-up, notwithstanding the 2019 Gabby, is a fine wine that presented a bright red color with a bramble nose.  The palate is smooth fruit forward, predominantly dark cherry, bright acid, and smooth tannins.  The Gabby is a fine example of a Long Island Cabernet Franc and should be a good indicator of the 2020 Gabby soon to be opened.  #longislandwineries #vineyardviews #wineryvibes #liwine #licharacter #longislandwine #northforkwineries #longislandwinery #longislandnorthfork #northforker #discoverlongisland #topwineries #northforkwinetrail #liwinecountry #liwine #lisustainablewinegrowers #nywinegrapefdn #nofo #roanokevineyards   FIG 01 -

  More goodness has just arrived from W ö lffer Estates Vineyard , the fall 2020 wine club selection.   The quarters' selection includes a 2021 Gew ü rztraminer , 2020 Malbec , 2019 Lombardo Merlot , and a   2019 Caya Cabernet Franc (Fig 01).   W ö lffer provided a wonderfully detailed write-up (Fig 02, 03) on all the wines, and after reviewing them, we look forward to holding on to the wine to serve at the holiday dinners.  Unfortunately, wines of exceptional quality are limited in quantity, with some being for members only, making them hard to acquire, so we will savor them while they last.    #longislandwineries #vineyardviews #wineryvibes #liwine #licharacter #longislandwine #northforkwineries #longislandwinery #longislandnorthfork #northforker #discoverlongisland #topwineries #northforkwinetrail #liwinecountry #liwine #lisustainablewinegrowers #nywinegrapefdn #nofo #wolfferestate FIG 01 - W Ö LFFER  ESTATE FALL CLUB  16 SEPT 2022 FIG 02 - W Ö LFFER ESTATE FALL CLUB  16 SEPT
