Tongue Dancer Wines: Spring Releases, the Whites

Although I have never really heard someone explicitly say it, I get the feeling that it is somehow “not cool” to say you like Chardonnay, particularly if you are male. I do not know if this stems from the stupid … Continue reading →

A lamb curry with Shanxi pulled noodles

The morning after picture. . . A curry with a Chinese accent. . .  As I get old and grey I keep returning to people and food memories from long ago. Of late, my mum’s lamb curry with its thin sauce, spiked with Madras curry powder. Mild, comforting and much missed. She only used 9 ingredients (including two spice blends - Garam Marsala and Madras) and gave minimal instructions I was leafing through Jon Kung’s book - Kung Food - recipes from a third-culture Chinese kitchen. There’s a recipe for goat curry and lo mein. He lists over 30 ingredients (if you include the ones he repeats). . . After making an abridged (cutting 12 ingredients, much of suggesting prep time and several steps) and adulterated (adding 2 and using Shanxi noodles instead) version, I’m still struck by how much this reminds me of the lamb curry of my childhood.  It’s mostly the turmeric and coriander I think, plus the mildness and the slight graininess of the sauce from the spice. The Shanxi noodles are a pl

Another Fabulous Set Of Thursday Beery News Notes For The Marvelous Month Of May

Was I always a May-man? Attending graduation ceremonies were never my thing when I was young or when the kids were. I spent most of the time, as with the movies, counting up the crowd’s investment in cut flowers… coming as I did from that family business. But it is otherwise extremey pleasant, what with … Continue reading "Another Fabulous Set Of Thursday Beery News Notes For The Marvelous Month Of May"

German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class

German pinot noir has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, shifting from widely dismissed, overripe and heavily oaked wines to elegant, precise and terroir-driven expressions. Producers now focus on earlier harvests, lower yields, cooler fermentation and less oak, resulting in lighter, more refined styles. Germany’s diverse soils add further complexity, and with […] Continue reading: German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class The post German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Göran van den Brink .

Cave des Vins de Sancerre – Les Chaillots 2024

I’m firmly of the opinion there are more Mormon Missionaries who have seen the inside of a stripclub than I have. I say that as in my three decades of strip club entrance ‘opportunity’, I’ve been into a total of one. Growing in up in the US and hearing Al Bundy on Married with Children talk up the “Nudie Bars”, I was, like many, raised on the premise that these bastions of female objectivization were something all true red-blooded males would surely enjoy. Yet, despite this, my sole experience left […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Tim Smith Old Vine Grenache 2025

  It would be uncouth to bathe in this, but I'd do it anyway. Svelte, silky, elegant, this is another superb Grenache from Tim Smith. Like the Mataro 2025 , this release has had a facelift with Old Vine Grenache now across the label. Insanely delicious, it slides down with gracious ease. Waves of blueberries, mulberries, cherries and red currants keep the fruit profile buoyant. Attractive aromas of purple and red petals flow through to the palate, adding a delightful mouth perfume. A shimmer of cured meats, orange peel and dried herbs adds precision and savoury interest. Superfine tannins are delicate and pliable, folding into every crevice of the mouth. This is a beauty in every sense. Hands down, it's an enthusiastic recommendation. 95/100 Region:  Barossa RRP:  $45 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X
