Winter, 2015
WHAT'S COOKING Chelsea Market's got it going on this winter with new faces and fun events. Learn more about the flavors of Takumi, 2015 wine trends at Corkbuzz, this winter's photo exhibit—Ubuntu's Children, and more in this issue of the Chelsea Market newsletter.
TAKUMI Takumi was born from the love of two amazing cuisines: Japanese and Mexican. Sit at the bar and enjoy Spicy Tuna in a crispy gyoza shell with a Takumi infused tea. Quick burritos or burrito bowls are a great on-the-go option for busy market shoppers. Takumi clients are encouraged to try one of the house specialties, or to create their own meals. To learn more, visit takuminyc.com.

CORKBUZZ We couldn't be more excited for the New Year at Corkbuzz Chelsea Market. We have been following the trends amongst sommeliers and our guests and think these wines are "must try' for 2015. Next time you are visiting Chelsea Market, make sure to stop by and check them off your list. ~ LAURA MANIEC, Master Sommelier, CEO, Corkbuzz
SPARKLING Jean-Francois Ganevat 'La Combe' '10 (Jura, France): Amazing boutique wine from eastern France with hints of apple, pear and cheese rind. Laherte Freres 'Les 7' NV (Chavot, Champagne, France): I worked harvest at this estate right outside of Epernay. The family grows all 7 Champagne grapes in a small 2 acre plot behind the house. This vintage reminds me of toasted brioche and red cherry jam.
WHITE Ramonet Aligote '12-Bouzeron (Burgundy, France): Rather than pay a premium for the well-known Chardonnay, try Aligote, an esoteric grape which is similar to Chardonnay but a little lighter, with flavors of white peach, lemon, lime and grilled apple. Benito Ferrara Vigna Cicogna Greco di Tufo '12 (Campania, Italy): From Southern Italy, around Naples, grown in volcanic soil, this wine has tropical notes of pineapple, quince and a ton of rocky minerality.
ORANGE WINE Orange wine, a vintage growing in popularity, is basically a white wine that is skin fermented, which lends it a golden or orange color. Ancarani Albana Santa Lusa '12-Emilia (Romagna, Italy): Orange zest, tea leaves, lemon curd.
RED Ess & See 'No 1' Grenache '11 (McLaren Vale, Australia): Sunkissed strawberries and raspberries with peppery spice and a smooth finish. Barham Mendelson Hazel Grace '08 (Russian River Valley, California): smooth, silky, ripe raspberries and vanilla, from one of the best producers of Pinot Noir in California. We are one of only a handful of restaurants to carry this new wine.

UBUNTU'S CHILDREN
4
M
ore than two decades ago, the world watched Nelson Mandela forgive the government that imprisoned him for
27 years. We waited with bated breath to see if peace would last, if South Africa would succeed. The country’s greatest legacy is what can be actualized in the wake of conflict. Ubuntu's Children: the Spirit of South Africa, a body of work by photographer Tim Hans, captures the forwardfocused mentality of those living in the townships of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. All subjects in the exhibit are born into circumstances where access to healthcare, education, employment, and social mobility is limited. Yet, they all choose to define themselves by their aspirations rather than by the countless obstacles that constrain their lives. Ubuntu Education Fund is a non-profit that works within this community to provide world-class health and educational support to orphaned and vulnerable children. Ubuntu's mission is simple, all encompassing, yet radical: to help raise township children by providing what all children deserve—everything. This mission is rooted in the Xhosa philosophy of ubuntu, which roughly translates “I am because you are.” Learn how you can help at ubuntufund.org.
