Waterford, là où se réinvente le whisky

Whiskey made its appearance in Japan around the 1870s, the first commercializations did not arrive until much later in 1923 when the country's first distillery, Yamazaki, was created.

Quatre versions de finition en fûts sont disponibles pou ce magnifique Whisky Bellvoye made in France. Avec pour référence, la douceur, l’onctuosité et la force de caractère. Un bon whisky, c’est aussi tout simplement un whisky qui vous plaît, alors laissez-vous tenter !

The wine reveals aromas of black fruits, prunes, slightly evolved notes, balsamic and smoked. It leaves an impression of harmony, race and elegance. Gloria de Nusserhoff of winemaker Heinrich Mayer. Südtirol. L2011

Close to the city of Sète between sea and scrubland, the castle of La Peyrade is one of the references of the Muscat appellation of Frontignan. The Pastourel family produces a whole range of luminous muscatel.

I harvest the beefy tomatoes and the very fleshy Crimean Black tomatoes, then I stuff them with a combination of rice, pesto and crushed almonds and pick them up with a hint of Lautrec's pink garlic.

In the historic heart of downtown Montpellier in the district of Ecusson a restaurant Le Jolly Rouge dedicated to Caribbean cuisine with spicy and sunny flavors.

Philippe Fezas produces white and red wines on limestone lands, Ténarèze, in the heart of Armagnac.

After a few months of research and tasting, we selected three attractive Spanish white wines with particularly aromatic profiles, with floral, precise and delicate notes, and at a more than reasonable price.

Difficult to guarantee a good deal with wines and asparagus. The chosen wine must have acidity, a certain freshness and a touch of minerality.

And yes the sun is often at the meeting on the Thau lagoon. Bouzigues is a small fishing port facing Mont Saint Clair and the town of Séte. In good weather Mont Saint Loup appears to the west facing the sea.

I particularly appreciate this moment is serenity with two fingers of our new gin from the Edinburgh distillery embellished with a small slice of orange.

To surprise my niece, I opened a pinot gris tokay, quintessence of noble grains from her year of birth, namely 1989. Good state of deterioration of the cap. Small deposit at the bottom of the bottle. In the glass her dress is always limpid with a beautiful coppery color. The nose develops aromas of quince paste, orange and saffron. Seductive on the palate, sweet and velvety. Harmonious, despite a rather short finish. Not a ride, a treat.

Open a bottle of champagne in a little corner of Paradise! I suggested that I bring a bottle of Champagne Hervé Mathelin. His "cuvée reserve", a champagne with fine bubbles, notes of brioche bread and dried fruit, with just enough roundness in the end.

The revival of Moelleux wine with Aperitif. Wines to give the smile. The mellow wine is ideal as an appetizer, but it will rise in a mixture of sweet and salty style a puff pastry with chicken and ginger or a mini pastilla of pigeon.

The Mentheuse. The new mint cream recipe perfectly masters the fusion between the power of peppery aromas and the sweetness of white mint. Tasty, it leaves a feeling of soothing freshness.
