Delicious Sandwiches

Greenville Avenue is known for its nightlife. So when Chuck Cole opened a new lunch spot six years ago at McCommas, it seemed doomed to fail. “Everyone told me this place wouldn’t make it,” Cole says. Corner Market not only has survived but thrived as part deli and part flower shop. Society Bakery, known for its cupcakes, shares the space, too. “People are overwhelmed by the aroma when they walk in because we’re baking all day, and we’ve got fresh flowers,” Cole says. Corner Market’s menu features hot and cold sandwiches and salads, and its most popular item is the Morningside chicken salad on a ciabatta roll. It goes easy on the mayo and is packed with toasted almonds and sweet cranberries for a chunkier texture. Cole uses allnatural Boar’s Head meat, which is unlike other brands that are often packed with sodium and sugar. Fresh produce comes from local vendors, and Cole even brings in fresh eggs from his own backyard chickens. “I was ahead of the curve with fresh, local and organic,” he says. “It’s not a new trend.” Right now, he’s working on growing a garden on the roof.

Wine 102

Duchman Family vermentino ($12) Texas

Wine drinkers are creatures of habit. We tend to drink the same wines and shop in the same places for those wines, which, frankly, doesn’t do much to expand our wine horizons. This is an especial problem for beginning wine drinkers, whose lack of experience is compounded by the intimidation factor — wine can be a scary thing for newcomers, who are overwhelmed with labels, names, terms and the like.

So, four easy things anyone can do to boost their wine savvy:

One of the things that people always laugh at when I talk about wine is the idea that they can learn more by drinking more. For example, if you like pinot noir, why not try a different kind than what you usually drink? One choice is the Mandolin pinot (about $12), which has less fruit than similarly priced wines, but a little more earthiness.

It’s amazing how this will change your perspective, especially if you buy wine only in grocery stores. Wine retailers are more likely to carry something such as the red and white from France’s Chateau Bonnet (about $10) — solid, dependable and tasty wines that don’t have cute labels or marketing budgets.

And even those you don’t. No one, including the so-called experts, remembers the name of every wine they drink. That way, the next time you shop for wine, you know what to look for, and avoid.

You don’t have to do it often. But every once in a while, if you don’t like sweet wine or red wine or whatever, taste one. Given that your palate will change over time as you gain more experience, there’s also a chance you’ll appreciate wine you didn’t like before. Regional wine fits here: Texas’ Duchman Family Winery vermentino (about $12). It’s a white wine that is bright and fresh, with some lemon-lime fruit. —Jeff
