Selecting A Fine Wine For A Fine Meal Insights into choosing wine wisely

By Ronald Scaglia rscaglia@antonnews.com

A nice wine is the perfect complement to a holiday dinner.

on the table,” said Sheehy. “There are some other things going on. A dry Riesling has so much flavor of the white wines and it stands against creamy mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and butternut squash. That’s my favorite white wine to go with holiday turkey dinners. Cabernet pairs well with roasts and big beefy dishes that have a nice, heavy sauce. It’s generally a big, full bodied, dry red wine.”

For those who think that serving a fine wine will be costly, both Sheehy and Stew Leonard Jr., president and CEO of Stew Leonard’s, say that’s not the case. According to Leonard, there are some wonderful wines in the $10-$15 range which will make guests quite happy. Sheehy adds that because of all the wine that is produced, it’s not difficult to find a nice wine at a reasonable price. He says that customers without knowledge of wine can go to a Stew Leonard’s Wine store (there are locations in Farmingdale and Carle Place as well as in Yonkers, New Jersey and Connecticut) and speak with a wine specialist. Sheehy says these specialists taste hundreds of wines throughout the year and pick and choose the wines that they believe are a great value.

“It’s a lot harder than it seems,” Sheehy remarked.

He adds that great value is coming from wines produced in Oregon and California. While Oregon may not be readily recognized for its wine, this makes it a great value. Sheehy says that Oregon is receiving world recognition for the Pinot Noir produced there. In addition, according to Sheehy, for those seeking an imported wine, Chile and Argentina also offer great value. While other regions have received positive press, which makes the wine produced in these regions more expensive, Chile and Argentina produce fine wines that are reasonably priced.

“We refer to these as great value wines,” says Sheehy. “You can always find a really good wine at a great price.”

For those planning a holiday party, and are not sure how much wine to purchase, Leonard advises having one bottle of wine for every two people at a party. While the choice of wine is up to each individual and also should be influenced by what food is being served, Leonard suggests a ratio of 60 percent red to 40 percent white. The president and CEO of Stew Leonard’s also advises customers to not be afraid of serving a wine that comes in a screw top bottle. He advises that some great wines, which sell for more than $100 per bottle, are now packaged in a screw top bottle and that all of the wine from New Zealand is now sold in screw top bottles.

Lastly, those who are not wine drinkers can still enjoy other beverages. Leonard recommends microbrews, which he states are becoming very popular. He adds that there are some Red wines go well with heavier dishes such as roast beef, filet mignon and rack of lamb. local breweries that have large followings.

W

hat’s a great meal without a fine wine? As the holidays approach, chefs who are working feverishly to make every aspect of their meal perfect shouldn’t forget about selecting good wine to go with their fare. Fortunately, selecting the right wine is not as hard as some believe.

“It’s your wine, drink what you like,” said Joe Sheehy, a wine specialist and educator with Stew Leonard’s Wines, who is also a grape grower and wine maker. “Handle your wine the way you like it. The old rules don’t apply. If customers want to put ice in their wine, I’m not going to tell them ‘no’”.

However, for those who are seeking advice on selecting a wine, Sheehy does suggest considering white wine with lighter foods and red wines for heavier fare.

For fish, chicken salad and grilled shrimp, he suggests Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Riesling wine.

He says that Riesling goes extremely well with holiday meals in which turkey is the main entrée. For heavier meals such as rib eye or roast beef, he suggests a cabernet.

White wine pairs well with “With turkey, you have chicken and fish. to think about what else is

Celebrity Chefs Share Recipes T

he lyrics of a holiday song are, “There’s a special feeling nothing in the world can buy, when they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie.” For a twist on this, a celebrity chef has shared a recipe.

Paulette Goto is a distinguished pastry chef and cake designer and is currently a judge on the Food Channel’s series Sugar Dome, which airs Sundays at 8 p.m., with repeat airings at other times during the week. Paulette, who has worked in some of New York’s most famous restaurants and is a contributor on Cooking Channel’s Unique Sweets, is sharing a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake.

“When the leaves start changing colors and the days and nights start getting almost chilly, I love nothing more than warming up with a pumpkin cheesecake that has warm fragrant spices that awaken your taste buds,” says Goto. “To me, there’s nothing worse than a pumpkin cheesecake that falls flat with next to no spices—the horror!”

Paulette Goto’s Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake With Pecan Gingersnap Crust, Topped With Salted Caramel Sauce: Pecan Gingersnap Crust: 1 cup pecans 2 tablespoons sugar 10 gingersnap cookies (about 1 cup) 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter

Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake: Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/4 cups sugar One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree 3 eggs 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Caramel Sauce: Salt 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter Sea salt, for sprinkling For the pecan gingersnap crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap 3 layers of aluminum foil around the outside of a 9-inch round springform pan. This will protect the cheesecake from any water seeping in when placed in the water bath.

In a food processor, grind up the

15 minutes. When done, the cake should wiggle like jello when shaken.

Let cool, and then place in the fridge to chill for 6 hours or overnight.

For the caramel sauce: Add a pinch of salt to the heavy cream and let the cream come to room temperature.

Pour 1 cup water into a heavy saucepan. Add the sugar to the middle of the pan, cover and bring to a boil.

Uncover and boil over medium-high heat until a dark caramel color and just starting to smoke, 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat.

Add a small portion of the heavy cream to the melted sugar; the mixture will bubble. Let the bubbles calm down before adding the rest of the heavy cream bit by bit. Once the bubbles have calmed down, whisk in the butter until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass bowl and set aside to cool.

To serve: If the caramel is too thick to pour, just reheat in the microwave or a double boiler just until the caramel softens up so you can pour it, being careful that the caramel isn’t hot or even warm.

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place on a serving plate. Pour about half of the caramel over the cheesecake, starting in the middle and going out in a spiral, letting the caramel drip down the sides.

Sprinkle a small amount of sea salt all across the top. Serve the rest on the side.

Stand back and admire your masterpiece. Then grab a fork and a friend (and if you’re anything like me, a diet coke) and indulge.

pecans with the sugar until they are very fine and transfer to a bowl. Grind up the gingersnap cookies until very fine and add to the pecans. Add the butter and mix well.

Garden City Pizza and Catering

By Rob Donovan Garden City Pizza is a bustling eatery and catering service that serves some of the best pizza in town, as well as equally good Heroes, Paninis, Appetizers and Entrees. There’s bound to be items on this menu that will surprise you and jump to the top of your personal “best of” list.

Let’s take the Shrimp Nova Specialty pizza, for example. Piled high with delicious shrimp, tomatoes, red onions, Gorgonzola cheese and fresh basil, this packed-full-of-flavor slice, named after a longtime customer, is easily one of the best specialty slices I’ve had anywhere. Other pizzas sampled, like the Grandma, Caesar, Shrimp Caesar and Chicken Caesar were also top-notch. The Crispinis were fresh, and come in several toppings including bruschetta, roasted pepper, and homemade mozzarella. Everything here at Garden City Pizza is fresh, homemade, with nothing microwaved or out of a can. GCP’s signature salad, the Mesculine Greens topped with candied walnuts, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, and an insanely good thick, almost-Asian tasting homemade Balsamic that could easily be addictive was terrific. This salad can also be ordered atop a pizza pie or slice. The garlic knots here are gigantic. The Stuffed ‘Shrooms (they come stuffed with either seafood or spinach), were tasty morsels, as were the Clams Oreganato, which were subtly spiced and heads above standard offerings elsewhere.

One of the best discoveries was the Buffalo Bites, round breaded balls filled with buffalo chicken. Let me warn you—this is a unique item worth traveling miles for. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and I particularly liked the Marinara sauce, with its sweet nuances. The Penne ala Vodka was also sweet and spectacular. There’s almost

two dozen heroes and paninis to choose from and a substantial selection of pastas (at least two dozen) and entrees including chicken, veal and shrimp.

The Marinated Skirt steak was perfection. It was seasoned with ginger and teriyaki, and each piece was incredibly flavorful and tender. The Veal Marsala was in a rich, delicious, deep brown Marsala sauce, with mushrooms and onions, an ingredient you don’t often find in this dish, but which added a distinctive sweet twist. As with all entrees, the portion was generous.

The Eggplant Rollatini was superbly prepared, and another example of the talented kitchen at Garden City Pizza. From the “Guilt-free” menu, the Chicken and Pasta dish, with steamed broccoli over penne in a garlic broth, was plentiful and a terrific, healthy alternative to the richer, more heavy selections offered. Be prepared to have leftovers, perhaps for days! They also serve Gluten-free dishes.

You won’t find a more amiable host than owner Greg Bavaro, who has run this restaurant and catering service for an impressive 14 years. His catering business services from Manhattan to Montauk, which is a good indication of the quality of the food and the catering menu is expansive and impressive.

The atmosphere here couldn’t be more neighborhood friendly. The night I was there it was packed with families, couples, and high schoolers enjoying their summer.

Bavaro knew and greeted just about everyone, and one big catering order that was going out was being picked up by an obviously very happy customer. Dependable, great food, friendly atmosphere, terrific host—what more could Garden City ask for?

Travel Channel Star’s Twist On Coffee offee magnate and adventurer Todd Carmichael is the star of Dangerous Grounds, which airs on The Travel Channel at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays. In his show, Carmichael hunts down rare strains of coffee in some of the most fascinating and unseen places in the world.

In Dangerous Grounds, viewers learn that there’s an amazing story behind their everyday cup of coffee.

“Coffee plays such a significant role in our culture, both in the U.S. and abroad; however, few know precisely where their morning cup comes from and how it’s sourced,” said Andy Singer, general manager, Travel Channel. “‘Dangerous Grounds’ takes viewers on an authentic, gripping journey as expert Todd Carmichael – one of this generation’s true explorers – scours through some of the most remote, and often dangerous locations, in order to find the ultimate bean for an exceptional cup of coffee.”

Carmichael has shared with the Anton Dining Guide, his recipe for Coffee Dulche de Leche. a caffeine-spiked twist on the classic caramelized cream you will find in every coffee-growing country in Central and South America.

C

Todd Carmichael is the star of Dangerous Grounds, which airs on The Travel Channel.

Todd Carmichael’s Coffee Dulce de Leche Yield: Three 9-fluid ounce jars Ingredients Two 12-ounce cans condensed milk 1 teaspoon fine ground coffee 1Ž4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method: Prepare three 9 fluid-ounce mason jars: cleaned, dried and fitted with new gaskets.

Place ingredients in appropriately sized saucepan and bring to a simmer, all the while whisking the mixture together. Pour evenly into jars.

Place the jars (evenly spaced, with room in-between) into a large stockpot on top of a folded kitchen towel or crumpled up aluminum foil, something that will prevent the jars from touching the bottom of the pan while still allowing a layer of temperature-regulating water to exist between the jar and the direct heat.

Cover with water by at least an inch and slowly bring to a gentle simmer. Continue to cook until desired color is reached (look for a deep caramel), occasionally adding more water to keep the jars submerged at all times.

This will take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours.

Remove the jars from the hot water with a canning jar lifter and place on a countertop at room temperature to cool for several hours (at least 4) without disturbing.

Carmichael likes to store the jars in the refrigerator so the Dulce is cool and really thick when spooned out to use. Because of the long cooking time, the jars will be really sealed, practically child proof. You may need a small set of pliers in the knife drawer to pull out the gasket when An image of Carmichael’s Coffee Dulce de Leche. opening a new jar.

A Nice Dinner Served With A Side Of Faith Telecare Show Spreads Faith Through Cooking

By Ronald Scaglia rscaglia@antonnews.com

C

elebrity chef Lidia Bastianich placed pasta into a rapidly boiling pot of water. This immediately caused an explosion, which took out the lights and the electricity on the set of Real Food, a cooking show that airs on Telecare (Cablevision Channel 29, Verizon Fios Channel 296). The host of the show, Monsignor Jim Vlaun recalls that story with a chuckle.

“I had to realize that celebrities are normal,” he says.

Bastianich is one of many celebrities who have appeared on the show with Msgr. Vlaun. Now in it’s sixth season, the show has also featured Rosanna Scotto, host of Fox 5’s Good Day New York, former Mets pitcher John Franco, Charles Wang and other local chefs renowned for their cooking ability.

“They’re spreading their faith through their work,” says Msgr. Vlaun.

Spreading his faith is what inspired the monsignor to create the cooking show. Telecare primarily airs faith-

based programming, but Msgr. Vlaun, who is the president and CEO of the station, felt that by offering something different, it might bring interest to other Telecare shows. As he points out, sometimes the show airs during the late night or early morning hours and offers a viable alternative to other programming at the time, such as infomercials.

“Then they might stay for the mass or the rosary,” he comments, while also adding that there is a natural connection between cooking and his faith.

“The mass is centered around a meal.”

Monsignor Vlaun’s interest in cooking goes back to when he was growing up. His family would gather together on Sundays. As the rest of the family would spread out into other activities, he would sit with his grandmother as she prepared the dinner. She would tell him stories of living through the depression or how his father proposed to his mother, and the future monsignor would be fascinated. Preparing the family din-

Lidia Bastianich cooks up some pasta with Monsignor Vlaun.

ner soon became a fun experience, a strong connection to his grandmother and an interest would be sparked.

Just as sharing a meal together was so important to Msgr. Vlaun’s family, he wants other families to share a similar experience, which was another reason for his creating the cooking show. He commented that in today’s busy society, with kids involved in so many activities such as sports, families are too busy to share a meal together and often communicate through technology. It’s not that he is against technology. It’s that he wants families to enjoy dinner together and have that rewarding experience of actually talking to each other while everything else is put aside for an hour or so.

“Technology is good too,” he comments. “It keeps people connected who are far away.”

So what is Msgr. Vlaun likely to be cooking if he is preparing a dinner for himself or a few of his friends and family? He says it would probably be something simple such as chicken cooked in an oven with roasted potatoes. As for some of his other favorite foods, his faith influences his culinary tastes.

“I like beans and rice,” the monsignor remarked. “Simple things as God gave them to us.”

In keeping with that theme, he also says that he much prefers fresh vegetables to those that are flash frozen. Pasta is another one of his favorite dishes.

The monsignor says that preparing pasta is simple and economical way for a chef to prepare something special for family members or honored guests.

“You can buy a jar of sauce or, for less money, you can make your own sauce and give a little bit of yourself,” Msgr. Vlaun stated.

Of course, when preparing the pasta, be careful when placing it into a pit of boiling water.

Suggested Wine And Cheese Pairings

H

ot dogs and baseball, popcorn and movies, and cheeseburgers and French fries are examples of items that go well together. Another common pairing is wine and cheese. However, to fully enjoy this combination, it’s important to match up a wine with a cheese that well complements it. Below is a list of wine and cheese pairings, courtesy of Stew Leonard’s Wines. According to Stew Leonard’s Wines, what grows together goes together and, as a general rule, creamy cheeses should be paired with tannic wines and saltier cheese with sweeter wines.

Below is some wine and cheese pairings from Stew Leonard’s Wines.

Cheese: Mozzarella Characteristics: Fresh, creamy and mild Suggested Wines: Sangiovese, Prosecco, Chianti, Pinot Noir

Cheese: Goat Cheese/Chevre Characteristics: Ranges from soft & creamy to dry and semi-firm Suggested Wines: Sancerre, Chenin Blanc, Rose, Pinot Noir

Cheese: Cheddar Characteristics: Molded, pressed and aged Suggested Wines: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Port Cheese: Parmesan Reggiano Characteristics: Hard and granular Suggested Wines: Prosecco, Chianti, Bunello di Montalcino, Amarone
