http://blip.tv/file/get/Foodphilosophy-FoodPhilosophy30GianniGagliardoAndTastyBeverages199.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed There’s nothing like a tasty beverage this time of year, and in addition to one fantastical flaming coffee recipe, it’s time to explore wine with Gianni Gagliardo (www.gagliardo.it), founder of the famous Barolo Wine Auction. Gianni is a pioneer in the Piemonte region, where he stepped away from convention to blaze his own trail in wines — ones that are now filling my wine rack. I’m also getting better at wine tasting, so it looks like that trip to Italy is having a domino effect on my senses. I do believe…

On my recent trip to the land of truffles, wine and hazelnuts, we got to indulge in the fine art of eating and drinking as only the Italians can, including hunting in the woods with Lady the Truffle Dog and sampling all the wonderful flavors at the White Truffle Festival in Alba (and beyond, but that’s for the next couple of shows). I had some delightful companions on my tour, and they kept…

Well, now *I* do, but it took some convincing — and tasting. In Part I of our double-whammy of beer (Part II will be on the next ReMARKable Palate), Mark talks with Jill Vaughn, Brew Master of Anheuser-Busch, about the various flavor profiles of beer and how each type is best matched with food. This little primer is followed by my comments on the tasting dinner we attended at Craft in New York, where Jill’s craft brews…

What better way to do that than with a spicy fruit salad — or better yet, with a kicky cocktail? I’m including a couple of refreshing summer favorites for lounging by the pool, as well as a challenge to those of you who claim to be uber-mixologists. Bring it on, I say!
