Answer by adelaideadam1981
Great food and wine can be found right throughout SA, if you’re staying in Adelaide and want to take a day trip up to the hills, there are some fantastic wineries up there. The best thing i could suggest would be to just take a drive up there, and just start calling into wineries, last time we took a day trip we were given a map that had probably 40-50 wineries on it and we just visited a few of them, before having a picnic at the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens. I would probably steer away from any guided tours (unless you really need a driver:) as personally i’d prefer to visit some of the smaller wineries (if i may suggest Hahndorf Hill Wines for a great tasting experience.
I’d also suggest the same with the barossa valley area, again, drive down there (probably 45minutes from the city) there’s a heap of wineries down there and they’re all really, really well signed. Chateau Tanunda is a great example of the caliber of wineries that can be found. Again i would steer towards the smaller wineries, all credit to the giant wineries out there, they have helped to build an industry, but some of these independent wineries are simply put, amazing.
Most, if not all of the cellar door sales will offer some local fare, particularly in the way of local cheese plates and fruit.
Also if you have the time there are some great wineries to be found in the Riverland (about 2&1/2 hours north of Adelaide, well northish), if i could suggest Pennyfield wines, who have a cellar door/ cafe in Berri, located right on the banks of the River Murray, a great place to loose an afternoon.
Finally the best advice i could give pharmacy technician certification would be to take your time and enjoy, there really is some sensational wine areas around here, and I have completely neglected to mention any of the Limestone Coast, only because i haven’t quite gotten around to visiting them yet (we keep getting stuck where we know:)
Hope this helps,
Enjoy.

Have you ever been to Epcot during their International Food and Wine Festival?

Posted By admin on May 18, 2012

Question by Jane: Have you ever been to Epcot during their International Food and Wine Festival?
I haven’t really spent much time in Orlando since I was very little (all I’ve done in recent years is a business trip to the area which left little time for play.) I’m especially excited to spend our first day in Epcot and we found out that we are going during their International Food and Wine Festival! Have you been there during this event? What is it like? How is it different than regular days? Did you enjoy yourself? Details, details! :)

Answer by pink
It’s really not a big deal. Different showcases “around the world” are available to purchase. It’s just a big day of eating and drinking so if you’re into that then you should enjoy it.

The parks do get a little busier during the festival but it’s managaeble.

Why do I get food poisoning from fast food places?

Posted By admin on May 15, 2012

Question by rommanticalgeek: Why do I get food poisoning from fast food places?
I eat a lot at fast food places and I’ve noticed that I get frequent food poisonings lately. In about 50% cases of eating there I get a diarreah the next day. In about 5% I throw up, have temperature and cannot eat anything for a few days – stomach flue? And it is the same for fast food and upscale restaurants. The only places I dont get a food poisoning is in my company’s cafeteria (that has mostly fast food) and the best restaurants in Seattle, where I live?

Question by Amuse Bouche: What is the most daring wine and food pairing you’ve tried?

Best answer:

Answer by mblastguy
I think mine would be Gewurztraminer and Sushi. Gewurztraminer is an excellent German wine with a sweet aftertaste and went well with the ginger and spicy wasabi on the sushi. I highly recommend it!

Article by Thomas J.

With the increasing number of health benefits associated with wine taking, people are trying as much as possible to incorporate wine in their meals. Research shows that a good percentage of people nowadays have realized the importance of wine when taken in moderation and have made it part of their daily diet. Those who cannot afford it on daily basis because of the cost that is associated with it are also trying to make sure that they partake of it once in a while.

For instance, if a person has eaten heavy food that includes pasta and meat products, then it is recommended that he takes a glass of red wine. If the meal is quite light and contains sea foods or turkey, then white wine can do. This is thus one of the ways in which some food recipes can be complimented with wine.

The other way is to use wine in the preparation of the food. More often than not, this method is meant to improve the flavor of the food by adding wine jellies or even some drops of certain types of wine.

McGregor Country Food and Wine Festival

Posted By admin on April 28, 2012

Article by John Gardner

The magical village of McGregor is holding it’s annual Food and Wine festival on Saturday 29th August 2009 from 10h30 – 17h30. This one-day event showcases the fine wines of the surrounding McGregor area as well as offering delicious country fare and produce from our beautiful valley, all at a one-stop venue. This is the most intimate of all wine and food Festivals in the Western Cape and many of the wineries show some of their wines for the first time at this Festival. Last year Lords Winery produced their first stunning Pinot Noir vintage and John Hargreaves showed his first Wolfdoring red blend under his Rusty’s Red label. This year sees some of the wineries such as Tanagra offering fantastic discounts -one day only deals -on some of their wines. Tanagra is in the process of re-developing their winery and need the space for a new still where they plan to make a McGregor Grappa.

To quote Vanessa Clark from Wine Country writing about last years festival-

“What a fun day out! Best effort of the Festival goes to Kingsriver for their nicely planned food and wine pairing- red kidney bean and red wine soup, lamb curry and Mzansi Shiraz 06. My highlight was the pinot noir and shiraz from Lords Winery and the team even delivered wine to my B & B the next day. And McGregor wines offer a range of easy drinking affordable wines. It’s well worth a visit”

From game meat to Garagiste, sushi to sauvignon blanc, pickles to pinot noir, cheese to chardonnay this delightful annual country festival will satisfy your taste buds in a casual country environment. Make a spring weekend of the occasion and overnight at one of the fine B&B’s, Guest Houses or self-catering establishments in historic McGregor.

Entrance Fee: R50.00 per person includes beautiful tasting glass
No charge for children accompanied by paying parent.
