<\/a><\/p>\nDomaine Marius Delarche Pernand-Vergelesses Rouge \u201911 (C\u00f4te\u00a0de\u00a0Beaune,\u00a0Burgundy)<\/strong><\/p>\n Winemaking at Domaine Marius Delarche is now in the hands of \u00c9tienne Delarche (son of Marius), who is recognized as one of the young \u201cTurks\u201d of Burgundy. \u00a0He is taking the great wines of the Domaine to even loftier heights of quality. The Domaine is centered in Aloxe-Corton, with holdings in Grand Cru, 1er Cru & Villages, in Aloxe-Corton and adjacent Pernand-Vergelesses.\u00a0This is extremely pretty Pinot Noir that wakes up the taste buds in the most delightful way. This is a great value, medium bodied with awesome fresh alive clean fruit and insane length on this wine for its price point. Packed with minerals, chocolate, white flowers and a good measure of sappy and pure Pinot fruit. What especially impressed us was its bottomless juicy core\u2014lots of concentration but not weight, which makes it a serious pleasure to drink. The effortless balance of stony notes and spices is a nod to the family\u2019s impressive vineyard terroir.<\/p>\n Domaine Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru la Grande Montagne \u201910 (C\u00f4te\u00a0de\u00a0Beaune,\u00a0Burgundy)<\/strong><\/p>\n The wines of Domaine Paul Pillot are recognized as some of the finest in White Burgundy today.\u00a0 The Domaine is 13ha divided among several climats <\/i>in Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Santenay. Pillot is one of just five producers in 1er Cru la Grande Montagne, the others being Domaine Bachelet-Ramonet, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, Domaine Lamy-Pillot and Olivier Leflaive. Total production levels are among the smallest in all of Chassagne-Montrachet. The vineyard of la Grand Montagne is right at the top of the Chassagne appellation. This is admirably elegant and pure with a lovely nose of cool white flower, white peach and pear, all of which are liberally sprinkled with wet stone nuances. There is good punch and superb delineation to the racy, linear and impressively complex flavors that culminate in a racy, linear and attractively stylish finish. Good juice here that will round out with time.<\/p>\n Osso Buco<\/p>\n Ingredients<\/p>\n 6 ounces of Tanqueray Gin Directions<\/p>\n 1.Put gin and vermouth into a glass pitcher, fill with ice, stir vigorously while incanting, \u201cYou who know all, thank you for providing us juniper and all the other obscure ingredients responsible for creating this sacred liquid!\u201d Strain into a pre-frozen Martini glass of admirable size.\u00a0 Skewer the olives on one of those tacky cocktail swords, place in glass. Immediately begin consuming.\u00a0 Now you can begin the food prep, and the cooking!<\/p>\n 2.Place the rosemary, thyme, bay leaf and garlic into cheesecloth, and secure with twine. This will be your bouquet garni.<\/p>\n 3, For the veal shanks, pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Veal shanks will brown better when they are dry. Secure the meat to the bone with the kitchen twine. Season each shank with salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge the shanks in flour, shaking off excess.<\/p>\n 4.In a large Dutch Oven pot, heat vegetable oil until smoking. Add tied veal shanks to the hot pan and brown all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove browned shanks and reserve. In the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Season with salt at this point to help draw out the moisture from the vegetables. Saut\u00e9 until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and mix well. Return browned shanks to the pan and add the white wine and reduce liquid by half, about 5 minutes. Add the bouquet garni and 2 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and simmer for about 1\u00bd hours or until the meat is falling off the bone. Check every 15 minutes, turning shanks and adding more chicken stock as necessary. The level of cooking liquid should always be about \u00be the way up the shank.<\/p>\n 5. Carefully remove the cooked shanks from the pot and place in decorative serving platter. Cut off the kitchen twine and discard. Remove and discard bouquet garni from the pot. Pour all the juices and sauce from the pot over the shanks. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest.<\/p>\n n.b.<\/strong>\u00a0You can use red wine and beef broth instead of white wine and chicken broth.\u00a0I\u00a0doubled the veggies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a favorite dish of mine.\u00a0 And it\u2019s \u201cshowpiece\u201d for great wine.
