If a male friend orders a Chablis

July 31st, 2010


what should one assume

Forget the assumptions, that’s too much thinking. Just smash your beer mug over his head and apologize to the waitress.

what wine goes with anchovies(fresh) I love the taste of anchovies but the flavour is very strong?

July 28th, 2010


I tried Chablis and Sauvignon to try and cut thru the intensity but the fish just keeps on coming! thanks for any advice.

a very dry chiliean white chilled the acidity and earthy flavors does compliment strong fish flavours

How much harder is the second level sommelier test?

July 25th, 2010


I would like to know (from someone who has taken it) how much more info there is to know from the second test. All 2nd growths? All crus of Chablis? Cote du nuit? What exactly?

The second level test is excruciatingly difficult. You have to blind taste wines and determine what wine it is, where it comes from and the vintage. There’s a 25 percent pass rate for the second level and for the masters, it’s three percent.

What is the best type of wine to use for authentic chicken picatta?

July 17th, 2010


Deglazing wine? I used a nice dry chablis, but is this the best type to use? anyone think sauvignon blanc, or sherry is better? thoughts and opinions welcomed… what brands too?

I am a former chef and the chablis is nice any white wine would be fine even white vermouth, for a nicer sauce, lighty flour your chicken and even pound it a bit thinner to cook faster, I used a combo of butter and oil, not olive, saute the chicken, remove it ad your wine seasonings let it cook down, add a bit of parsley and a nut or two more of butter, add the chicken back in swirl the pan off the heat to coat the meat and serve as soon as possible, I like pasta and a gree n veg for sides, have all of those ready, so you can enjoy everything at once.

Is this wine any good? 1992 Chateau de Fleys Chablis?

July 11th, 2010


fI found a bottle in my parents basement. I was wondering if this wine is any good or maybe even worth anything. I cant find anything about it on the net, but it is a little older.

The label reads:
1992
Chateau De Fleys
Chablis
Appelation Chablis Controlee
Clos du Chateau de Fleys Monopole
Mis en bouteille au Chateau
Andre Philippon

Any ideas?

That is a great wine for cooking.
