❓Did you know❓ Arancini, or arancine, are a staple food of Sicilian cuisine, involving breaded and deep-fried rice balls that are often stuffed with delicious fillings. However, it is important to note that depending on which side of the Island you are, the name of this dish must be pronounced differently to avoid potential disrespect. In western regions such as Palermo, Trapani and Caltanissetta, the arancine will be round, to resemble an orange. Here, you will call them arancina (singular) or arancine (plural). In eastern Sicily, the arancini are pointed on one side, to resemble the peak of Mount Etna. Here, they are called arancino (singular) or arancini (plural). #Traveltips #Sicily #MadeinSicily #Palermo #Catania #Taormina #Europetravel #Tuesdaytips

The Domaine Saint Gayan Cotes du Rhone Trescartes is always excellent, and 2020 is no exception. The Côtes du Rhône red by Domaine Saint Gayan does not follow the fashion for easy, light, and easy-drinking wines. It is, above all, a wine of character, a terroir wine such as we like to make. Coming from the terroirs of the Cotes du Rhone villages Sablet and Plan de Dieu appellations, these vines of respectable age regularly produce a generous, ample, full-bodied, and very colorful wine. On bright and sunny terroirs, the best grape varieties of the Rhône are vinified with an elegant but long enough extraction for good aging. With excellent value for money, Côtes du Rhône Saint-Gayan is exported to all 5 continents. Grape varieties: Grenache 60%, Syrah 25%, Carignan 10%, and Mourvèdre 5%. Matured in concrete tanks and bottled unfiltered. The Cotes du Rhone red Trescartes vintage 2020 is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisines, from everyday grills to more elaborate dishes, inspiring culinary exploration and excitement. #cotesdurhone #frenchwines #wineindustry #wineguy #grenache #syrah #mourvedre #wineprosperite

Today's Virtual Vacation: St. Vincent and the Grenadines boasts a delightful culinary scene that reflects its rich Caribbean heritage, combined with African, French, British, and East Indian influences. One of the archipelago's staples is "breadfruit", famously brought to the islands by Captain Bligh, and it's often roasted or fried to accompany meals. Fish dishes are abundant, with kingfish, tuna, and dorado often grilled or stewed. Another popular Vincentian dish is the "callaloo soup", a creamy concoction made from callaloo leaves, okra, crab or salted meat, and flavored with coconut milk. Roti is a type of flatbread filled with curried meat or vegetables. When it comes to beverages, the islands have a tradition steeped in the production of fine rums. The local "Sunset Strong Rum" packs a punch and is often used in the islands' signature drink, the "rum punch". This is typically a blend of rum, fresh fruit juices, and a dash of nutmeg on top. For non-alcoholic delights, fresh coconut water, soursop, and passion fruit juices are popular choices. #SVGFlavors #GrandExplorations

Domaines Ott* Chateau Romassan 2021! A perfect summer wine! Blends of 55% Mourvèdre, 30% Cinsault, 15% Grenache Light peach hue with a soft sheen, nose is aromatic and slightly roasted, notes of grapefruit are followed by fresh lemon and tropical fruits! Full round palate reveals aromas of subtle touch of liquorice create character of the wine, finish is slightly minty and zesty with candied citrus notes. Domaines Ott was founded in 1912 by Marcel Ott, an agricultural engineer from Alsace who dreamed of establishing a great wine estate near the Mediterranean. Today, the wineries are owned and managed by Champagne Louis Roederer and produce some of the world’s most prestigious wines, but particularly rosé wines, made at distinctively different estates in Bandol and Côtes de Provence appellations. The 90 hectares of vineyards are split between the AOC’s eight communes and planted on marl and limestone soils that are particularly well suited to Mourvèdre. They are characterised of two main climates. The grapes grown in the valley offer fresh, crunchy juice whereas those grown at higher altitudes on the terraced hillsides produce wines with more body and structure. The grapes are all hand picked and go through a stringent selective sorting, followed by an extremely delicate pressing process. Fermentation is done in thermo-regulated vats. Harvest notes, a balmy autumn was followed by an equally mild winter. It was the time for manuring our soils and butting up the vines. After enjoying their rest, the vines stirred into life again with a classic budburst in early spring. On the night of April 8th, some of the vines were hit by frost. But nature surprised us by allowing new buds to emerge and bear fruit. The spring was rainy and the start of the flowering was late. The summer was hot, as it has been for almost 10 years, with heatwaves of varying duration and intensity. On August 19th, harvest began with the first bunches of Grenache. #provencerose #aocbandol #domainesott #rosewines #cotedeprovence #mourvedre #cinsault #grenache #summerwines #unitedkingdom #sommelier #sommlife #tastingnotes
