Vanessa Wong learned how to make superior Chardonnay as winemaker at Peter Michael Winery. Peay Vineyards is located in the “true” Sonoma Coast, 4 miles from the chilly Pacific Ocean. A consistent afternoon ocean wind allows them to produce a Chardonnay of elegance, intensity and focus.
Let’s face it, we all love CDP (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), but most of us can’t afford to pull those corks on a daily basis. That is where ‘Vacqueyras’ comes in. It’s swimming in the next lane, with eerily similar characteristics, at a lower price. This is one of my party trick wines (looks pricey and tastes pricier).
This wine comes from 50-year-old vines grown in 30cm of soil before hitting pure chalk. The vineyard sits at 300m altitude, the highest altitude section of Folatieres, just beneath “La Truffière.” Aged for 12 months in barrel + 6 months in tank.
Sustainable farming practices, hand-harvested, and native yeast fermentation.
This herbed sea salt is from the iconic Venice Beach establishment, Gjusta Bakery. If you haven’t been, GO. And in the meantime enjoy their house-made blend of Maldon sea salt flakes, wild oregano, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes and lemon zest. Use for seasoning a roasted chicken, atop a fish or as a finishing salt for almost any dish. Made and packaged onsite at Gjusta Bakery – 4oz jar.
It’s a pantry staple and the perfect gift for an at-home chef.
