Wine in the Movies
Grilled Trout with Cucumber Salad
This year Hollywood will celebrate the 85th anniversary of its most glamorous award show; the Oscars. Since the end of prohibition in 1933, wine, spirits and beer have been filling glasses of movie stars in famous movie scenes, and so in honour of this special evening, we thought we would share some of our favourite movie moments. Casablanca (1942) Who can forget Humphrey Bogart, as Rick Blaine, in his Gin bar ? The champagne, cognac and brandy seemed to always be flowing and Rick’s famous quote of “Here’s looking at you kid”, was set in a flash back of sipping wine in Paris during happier times. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Cary Grant’s character, Aunt Martha’s recipe of arsenic mixed into elderberry wine is definitely a drink not to be tried at home.
Join us for our “Night at the Movies” Tasting Event. See page 22 18
An Affair to Remember (1957) A movie that is enjoyed by romantics everywhere, It’s one that will be sure to have you dreaming about sipping pink champagne and living life to the fullest. As Cary Grant says to Deborah Kerr, “time together should be like pink champagne – bubbly, gay and bright” We will have the pink champagne and a Kleenex box handy for this tear jerker.
The Muppet Movie (1979) Steve Martin plays a snotty waiter who opens a bottle of sparkling wine from Idaho with a beer opener for Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy while they are out for dinner. A classic and hilarious scene of a haughty waiter. Silence of the Lambs (1991) Who can forget Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector and his famous pairing of liver, fava beans and Chianti? It is sure to send chills down your spine every time you watch the scene. Sideways (2004) A must see movie for any wine enthusiast . With beautiful landscapes, a great story and love-fest with the pinot noir grape, this movie will have you falling in love with the wines and vineyards as the movie plays on.
Recipe by St Urbans-Hof Winery, Germany Bottleshock (2008) Based on the true story of Napa’s transformation into one of the worlds leading fine wine producing region, this movie is one that will have you routing for the little guy and cheering for the wines of California. Don’t miss the fun scene with the old style bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken memory from the past. James Bond (1962 – 2013) How could we do this list without including James Bond? He first ordered his “shaken, not stirred” martini in 1962 and the drink has been synonymous with the character ever since, and honestly who doesn’t want to be like James Bond? Bond also has a wonderful affection for champagne with Bollinger Champagne being one of the longest running partnerships of a wine in movies since it was first shown in Live and Let Die in 1973. It is known as the official Champagne of the Bond Movie Series.
Serves 4 4 rainbow or creek trout 2 red onions 3 garlic cloves 1 lemon 1 bunch of parsley 1 bunch of dill 2 cucumbers
1 Tbsp of grainy mustard 1 cup of sour cream olive oil white wine vinegar sugar salt, pepper aluminum foil
Wash each trout inside and out. Dry off with a towel. Salt and pepper inside and outside of trout then stuff with one chopped onion, some parsley, lemon and two garlic cloves. Roll out four sheets of aluminum foil, drizzle lots of olive oil on them and wrap each trout separately in foil. Cut cucumber into slices and put in a large bowl. Mix oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and mustard. Chop onion and garlic and add it. Add sour cream. Mix again. Chop dill and some parsley and add. Mix again and pour over the cucumber slices. Toss the salad and let it sit for 15 minutes. Put trout on grill for 10 minutes turning often. After 10 minutes, poke a few holes in the foil with a fork, so the juice drips off and the smoke flavors get to the trout. After 2 minutes, remove the trout from the grill and unwrap. Put each trout on a separate plate and add cucumber salad. Garnish with lemon and parsley. Serve with a nice and chilled glass Riesling for a wonderful pairing. 19

Sazerac
New Orleans Fizz
America’s first Cocktail
Legend has it, that the Hurricane drink was originally created in 1939 for the World’s Fair in New York, city by New Orleans bar owner, Pat O’Brien. The drink was named after the tall glass that it was served in resembling a hurricane lamp. Pat O’Brien’s Bar is still a New Orleans landmark where his famous cocktail is still enjoyed by millions each year.
Created in 1888, by Henry C. Ramos as a breakfast eye-opener, at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon, New Orleans. The original recipe called for 12 minutes of shaking to emulsify all the ingredients correctly. At one time in history the hotel employed 35 “shakers” to keep up with demand for the drink.
Legend has it that Creole apothecary; Antoine Peychaud created this drink in New Orleans. It was known as America’s first official cocktail in 1838, when he would make it for friends using his secret recipe. In 2008, it was made the official cocktail of the city of New Orleans by the State Legislature.
¾ cups 1 oz. vodka 1/4 oz. grenadine 1 oz. gin 1 oz. light rum
1 1/2 oz. gin 1/2 oz. lime juice 1/2 oz. lemon juice 1 1/4 oz. simple syrup 2 oz. milk, half & half or cream
2 oz. rye or whisky 1/2 oz. simple syrup 2 dashes bitters
1/2 oz. dark rum 1 oz. amaretto almond liqueur 1 oz. triple sec grapefruit juice pineapple juice
Fill a hurricane (or any other tall glass) 3/4 full with ice. Pour all the alcohol in first, then follow with equal parts of grapefruit and pineapple juice. Serve and enjoy! (For those not drinking alcohol, you can use sprite and orange pop). 28
MarchTastings
1 small egg white 2 dashes fleurs d’orange (orange flower water) or orange liqueur Club Soda
Place all of the ingredients except the club soda into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes not crushed ice. Shake vigorously (more than normal to ensure the egg and cream are well mixed). Strain into a high ball filled with ice. Top with club soda.
Absinthe or Herbsaint Ice cubes Lemon twist for garnish Give chilled highball glass an absinthe or Herbsaint rinse and set aside. Stir other ingredients in a mixing glass/cocktail shaker, strain into the chilled glass and garnish.
