十月份的品酒會因應時令, 所以這個月的酒題是: 最可怕或最幽默的酒標. 其實當我們定下這主題時並不知道有多困難, 事後來當我們自己再找的時候才體會到, 因為一般的酒標不是中規中矩的英文字標上酒名產地和年份, 就是美美的風景圖, 很少酒莊會換上不同的酒標應景, 好加在我們找到二瓶還算可怕的酒標, 加上來客帶來的酒, 當天共有六瓶不同的可怕酒標, 目的完成. 你覺得哪一個酒標最可怕呢? (點圖可看放大景)
2006 Zombie Zin
2006 Gnarly Head Zin
2006 Fish Eye Cabernet Sauvignon
2006 Jester Shiraz
2005 Cirque de Vin -- Cabernet Blend
2006 Coppola Director’s Cut Pinot Noir
當天的菜色以顏色和當令食材應景, 一共有六道菜, 全是從網路上找來的食譜, 也是第一次試做, 但是當晚都廣受歡迎, 接下來幾天將分篇介紹:
1. Mint, Apple, Pomegranate, Persimmons Salad
2. Ravioli di Zucca (Squash Ravioli) Topped with Browned Butter & Sage
3. Gnocchi with Pumpkin Sauce
4. Miniature Gougeres (Cheese Puffs)
5. Grilled Mango and Steak with Lime Dressing and Basil, Mint and Cilantro
6. Cornmeal Blini Bites
Miggi,
你是Chef 又是烘培師
而且還是拉丁舞老師
你好厲害喔
你是住舊金山還是東灣啊
從你網站上看來你好像有開Cooking Classes
真高興你找到我的部落格
這樣我又多認識一位新朋友
人生最開心的事
也不過是結識一些志同道合的朋友
一起分享人生經歷
這些品酒會是一個月一次
在我家辦的
如果你不嫌路途遠
很歡迎你來參加喔

酒莊通常是不會應景換酒標
所以才會一時難找
最好是平常就有在留意一些特殊的酒標
以備不時之需
我知道有些酒莊可以讓你購買某個數量的酒
然後貼上你特製的酒標當成禮物送人
有些新婚夫妻就是以此做禮物送給來客

Zombie looks scary!
I didn't know wineries will use different labels for Holloween event. Will wineries do the same thing on other events? Or just for the Holloween?
Your menu lists looks so attractive, can't wait for your following posts.
