That's right, our very own Gustavo is being portrayed in an upcoming movie "Bottle Shock" all about the tasting in Paris that changed the Napa Valley forever. Freddy Rodriquez will be playing young Gustavo. There's been a BUZZ in the valley about the new movie, something about Grgich Hills and Chateau Montelena. They're filming right now in Sonoma and Napa Valley. We just can't wait for the previews!

 

Wine & Cheese Pairing

In addition to recipes, we're going to feature wine & cheese pairing from our exclusive cheese connection in Europe. We're going to call it: "Bronwen's Cheese Selection" Here's what she recommends to go with the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc:

"I'd pair the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc with a fresh buffalo mozzarella.  While fresh, rindless goat's cheese works well with Sauvignon Blanc, it's easy to forget that the things that make the pairing successful--acidity and lack of rind--are present in many other fresh cheeses, from ricotta to fresh sheep's cheese to mozzarella.  Thomas Keller famously uses confit lemon zest with mozzarella--this would play off of the zingy acid fruitiness of the 2005 GT Sauvignon Blanc."

Delicious!

From The Grill

  • Lemon Chicken
  • Grilled Artichokes
  • Enive
  • Asparagas
  • Herbed goat cheese
  • Fresh lemon wedges

    Taste Napa Valley

    Enjoy the lush aromas of lychees, the tropics and light herbal notes. The wine has a balanced acid level that is refreshing and clean, finishing with the flavors of pears, yellow straw and honey. This is our favorite wine to have with seafood, especially oysters and crab.1SauvBlanc05.gif
