From Novice to Connoisseur: A Wine fanatic's Guide

Now if you've been reading my blog, or if you know me, you would know that I am a wine fanatic! Unfortunately, I'm more of a novice than a connoisseur, but I have every intention of changing that. I took a wine quiz, to see just how much little I really know about wine.. unsurprisingly, my score was a mere 4 out of 10 :(.  I decided to do some research immediately. Ill post some of the information I garnered...I'll try to make it interesting, informative and concise as I can :)

Due to the fact that I am trying to make this post as concise as I can, I wont delve into the history of wine, however, you may click on the link provided and read all about it at your own convenience.

Where do I begin? First of all, To really appreciate wine, you'll need to have some amount of knowledge on it,  for example, the type of wine, the type of grapes that were used to make it, where it was made, when it was made etc.

All types of wines fall into one of these categories: White wine, Red Wine, Rose Wine, Sparkling Wine (including Champagne, Dessert Wine, and Fortified Wine).
White Wine
Red Wine


 From what I read, the difference between a novice and a connoisseur is that the latter learns the story in the wine, meaning the type of varietal, when and where it was made. It makes no sense spending a lot of money buying expensive wine and not being able to appreciate/ taste its true quality. The flavour of a wine is determined by the specific grape varietal grown and how these grapes are treated during the wine making process.

Bergundy, France
In the United States, wines are referred to based on the type of grapes or the varietal grown to produce them for example, "Pinot Noir" or "Chardonnay"; while in Europe, wines are named after the area in which the grapes are grown, for example, Bergundy Wine from the region of "Bergundy" (Bourgogne) in France, and "Chianti" from Tuscany, Italy.



It is better to serve your red wine too cold than too warm. If served too warm it loses its freshness and many of its characteristic aromas and flavors.It’s more convenient to allow a wine to warm up in its glass than to put it back in the refrigerator or ice bucket. One easy way to warm up a glass of wine is to cup your hands around the glass while you swirl.


For white wines, the opposite may be true. It’s better to serve a white wine too warm than too cold. White wines served too cold (under 45°F) lose many of their flavors and aromas. However, you still want to serve your white wines colder than your red wines. Serving white wines at a lower temperature brings out their natural fruity, fresh, and sweet characteristics. Removing your white wine from the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before serving should bring them to about the right temperature. And, you can always warm the wine up by cupping your hands around the glass as you swirl.


See this chart for a list of some of the popular types of wine (red and white) and their aromas and flavours.

Rose Wine
Yellowtail Chardonnay
 Truth be told, I have not tasted/ experimented with a wide variety of wine. I  like and pretty much stick to what I've tried so far, my favourite being Yellowtail Chardonnay, I am a white wine kinda girl. I was recently introduced to Carlo Rossi Rose Wine and intend to make it apart of my wine diet!




Champagne
Whether you are a novice, like myself, or a connoisseur, whether u have wine for the sake of just sipping it, or you're an expert wine drinker, having a glass of wine is a truly divine experience :)

Carnival diet? umm...about that....

"...I'ts all about unity, togetherness, carnival time we love the jamming (dancing), all a we (all of us) collectively, in the bacchannal time to start the fete-ing....one thing about my country, everywhere we go, we love to party..." - Destra Garcia
These lyrics are part of one of my favourite soca songs from a Trinidadian songstress, and pretty much sums up what carnival means to me.

Carnival Revelers


Jamaica carnival is an event which takes place from February until the end of the Lenten season annually. Gym owners smile ear to ear as people flock their establishments trying to get the "perfect body" for road march.

The carnival season is always highly anticipated, because, well it is a very...liberating time for all who participate. It gives us an excuse to walk the streets half-naked, dressed in skimpy, colourful costumes, and drink all day while gyrating to the sounds of soca music blaring from trucks moving slowly along the selected carnival routes.

Now, if you've read my previous posts, or read the description of this blog, you're probably wondering why I'm writing about carnival and not about food...don't worry though, i'm getting to the food part...:)

As I mentioned earlier, many carnival enthusiasts hit the gym and go on diets to achieve their desired body mass so that they can show off their abs/ flat stomachs....and while they're busy doing this, I laugh at them and continue to stuff my face right up until carnival day...

I have never been to the gym, I thought about jogging once or twice to tone my legs, but not once did it cross my mind to watch what I eat. One of my greatest fears is that I will get diabetes or some other illness that will prevent me from eating ice cream and cake! I really hope I never do! *crosses fingers and toes*

Chicken Samosas
The grand finale to Jamaica carnival each year is the road march, which is usually held on on a Sunday. Unlike most of my friends who probably drank only green tea (yuck) and ate fruits on the days leading up to road march, I made sure I ate enough food to last me for days. I literally ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at around 4pm on Saturday:
(chicken samosas, nan, basmati rice, curry goat wrap and chicken tikka masala)....and then around 9 pm, I had chocolate cake and Carlo Rossi Rose wine for dessert! :). I was going to have some ice cream as well, but I didn't want to take anymore chances with my stomach the day before road march :).

Can u see the abs? lol
I am really grateful that I have a high metabolic rate though, because, best believe on road march day my six 2 pack abs were out in all their glory (ha ha) and were the envy of many! :)

Taco party!!

beef taco with salsa, cheese, lettuce and sour cream

I love tacos, but the only taco restaurant I know is in Kingston and I live in Montego Bay. My friend who recently moved to Montego Bay from Kingston had a taco craving the other day, (and since there isn't anywhere in Mobay where we can get ready made tacos), decided that we should make it ourselves, invite some friends over and have a taco party (yay!! fun! fun! fun! :).

Soft shell taco
We bought the taco shells (hard and soft), made our own salsa, and cooked our own mince meat. This was my first time making helping to make tacos (I must give my friend most of the credit and take the rest for myself because dicing up tomatoes and onions is no easy task...ha ha) and I cant wait to make them again! 

Hard shell tacos



We must have done a pretty good job with the tacos or they were starving, because within seconds (i kid you not) of placing the tacos and salsa on the table, our friends quickly ate them off. 






happy taco eater :)

"The art of cooking"

My original idea was for this to be a lifestyle blog...one that would include the various places I've been and what they had to offer, for example some of Jamaica's hidden treasures. However, it seems to be leaning more towards being just a food blog...I guess it makes sense though, since food is one my most favourite thing in the world...those who know me often wonder how it is that I'm not fat...(Thank God I have a high metabolic rate).

I took a break from blogging because I thought I didn't have anything to write about since I haven't been to any restaurants worthy of being mentioned recently. Now, everyone who knows me knows that I am in no way or form a great cook. I can "cook up a lil sumn sumn to survive", and if I cook for you, chances are, contrary to popular belief, you WILL live to tell others that i'm not thaaat bad  at cooking :).

Having said that, I am proud to announce that I have decided to take up cooking as a hobby in order to perfect the art of cooking. I have discovered the joy of experimenting with different recipes and after tasting the finished dish, realize that "hey, this is actually pretty good"! :) *pats self on shoulder*.

I am what one would call an experimental chef. I never follow the recipes I see online "down to a "T", instead substituting some of the ingredients with whatever I have available at home at the time.

Now remember I have just discovered the art of cooking, so don't be too surprised when I tell you that I have discovered the magic that can be created by adding white wine (another of my favourites) and cream cheese to my dishes. I'm addicted!!! I've now perfected cooking creamy chicken/ shrimp pasta.

Fillet snapper cooked in creamy sauce (wine & cream cheese incl), and mashed potatoes and carrots

Tonight I decided to try something different and I made fillet snapper in a creamy sauce, mashed potatoes and carrots...it was yummay!!! :). Not only was this meal easy to prepare, it is cheap too :).




I have included some pics of just a few of the dishes I've prepared. I intend to try out more complicated dishes as I get the hang of this "cooking thing", so look out for those :).

my curried shrimp :)


p.s. Nothing makes me happier than having a glass of white wine...or some ice cream after I've prepared dinner in the evenings :)

How to split a bill at a restaurant

This post is taken from an article I saw on Huffingpost (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/food/) this morning, and I thought I'd share it because not only could I identify with the writer, I thought he was also very hilarious. It's kinda long, but take a read! :)
Eating dinner with a group of people at a restaurant can be fun. You know what's not fun? Trying to figure out who owes what when the check comes—when Jenny, like, only got the roasted beet and goat cheese salad, but Freddy got some stupid $38 hamburger (THE MEAT IS FROM PAT LaFRIEDA, OKAY?!), but Jenny had three cocktails compared to Gabby’s single glass of Pinot, so maybe Jenny actually owes more than everyone else, because those cocktails were $16 each (THE BARTENDER, EXCUSE ME, "MIXOLOGIST," USED ANGOSTURA BITTERS AND HAND-CHIPPED ICE, OKAY?!), but Franny says she owes less since she didn’t even order an entree on her own, even though she definitely took bites from half the main courses at the table, which was super annoying (ugh, such a Franny move), and everyone went to a stupid liberal-arts college so no one has the math skills to properly figure this out, and, you know what, this totally isn't even worth the aggravation, the waiter looks like he wants to stab us with a salad fork, why didn’t I sit at home and get a pizza delivered, I don’t even really like you people! So yeah, splitting the check can be stressful. Here's how to deal.
If you are under the age of 25…
You are probably poor! Because of this, it is OKAY to look at the bill and figure out exactly what you owe for the food and beverages you consumed, in addition to whatever tax and tip is appropriate. Some people will try to get you to split the check evenly because it's tedious to go through and figure out that Johnny owes $24 whereas Lisa owes $32 or whatever, but that $8 difference is a drink at the bar later, so stand your ground.
NOT OKAY, however, is to be that person who got a $10 appetizer and a $20 entree and throws in $30 and hopes that no one else notices. People notice! Don’t be that person. Everyone hates that person. (Why is it always the same person?) In this day and age, tax and tip add 28% to the cost of the meal, which is not an insignificant amount. Do you really want your friends to hate you over 28% percent? If you don’t have the cash, that's rough, but you'll have to put it on your card anyway, even if you're already behind on your payments.
(And I really hate to generalize/be sexist here, but young attractive females try to pull this off all the time. They're all, "Oh, ha ha, I’m sorry I’m a little short, smiley face!” I’m glad you have a nice smile, I really am, but if you’re not even sleeping with me, why am I paying for you? Your less cute friends don’t pull this shit; they're civilized and understand that not everything in life is handed out on a silver platter. This is one reason why there should be a law requiring YAFs to pass some sort of basic etiquette test before they're allowed to hang out in public with the gen pop. Honestly, is there any sub-species of human more ill-behaved than a young attractive female? I don't think so.)
Oh, and if you don’t have cash on you—which you probably don't, because you are poor—you'll probably have to ask the waiter to put different dollar amounts on different cards. Recognize how annoying this is and please leave a nice tip.
If you're under 25 and not poor, you probably work as an analyst at an investment bank and make a magnitude of 5x-7x as much as your friends. If this is the case, throw them a bone and just pick up the tab every now and then? They'll appreciate it.
If you are over the age of 25…
Did you not drink as much as everyone else? Was your pasta entree half as expensive as the steak? Did you not get dessert? I'm sorry, but no one told you to be a teetotaler, or to not get the steak, or to not get dessert, you pussy. When you agreed to go out to dinner with your friends, you implicitly agreed to the following social contract: “I, (your name), hereby agree that when the bill comes, I will pay my share of the bill, calculated as follows: Total cost divided by # of people, regardless of who got what and how many. I further agree not to publicly complain about this methodology, even if I get a little screwed, because there will be times in the future when what I end up paying is considerably less than the dollar value of what I eat/drank. It evens out over time. Sincerely, (your signature).” Granted, there are obvious exceptions—e.g., you showed up late and really did only order a glass of wine—when no one would expect you to pay a full share, yet even in these cases it's generally polite to throw in some cash.
Now, the observant among you have read this, processed it and realized that in a group-dining scenario, one is effectively incentivized to order lavishly and imbibe irresponsibly, because not everyone else will, and thus what you end up paying will be disproportionate to what you actually owe, meaning that you make out like a bandit while your schmuck pals who exercise restraint in the name of fiscal responsibility end up subsidizing you. This is correct! The guy who behaves like a reckless asshole always wins, so long as there are people around to bail him out. Have you learned nothing from CNBC's coverage of the myriad crises surrounding our financial-service industries?
So basically, when in doubt, go ahead and have another $16 Rum Swizzle. It's practically free!

P.S. Ever notice that some people go to the bathroom every time the check comes?

The Twisted Kilt


 
"The Twisted Kilt" Penne Pasta


I am actually really excited to share this post with you because "The Twisted Kilt" is one of my favourite bar/restaurant/liming spot in Montego Bay. Overlooking the beach on "The Hip Strip", this 
"Jamaicanized" Irish Sports bar/restaurant has arguable some of the best finger-licking Bar-b-q wings i have ever tasted...(as I'm writing this post i'm salivating and craving some). I had the pleasure of tasting their Specialty Pasta yesterday and even now, the taste still lingers in my mouth (that may be due to the fact that I had the leftovers for lunch today though), but it was really good...I had "The Twisted Kilt" pasta, made with penne pasta, green and red peppers, grilled chicken and ham!! Yummmayyyy!!!


Some Friends and I having Jager Bombs
Another reason I frequent there is because of their drinks!! I have gotten drunk  imbibed enough alcohol here to last me a lifetime...lol..this is the place I broke my jager bomb (cocktail made with jagermeister liqueur and red bull) virginity, so you can understand why I hold this place dear to my stomach heart. They always have a special on alcoholic beverages here, for example, Ladies drink 2-4-1 Martinis on Fridays from 8-9 p.m; men get 2-4-1 deals whenever there is a big game going on which is pretty much every week.



If you are like me and enjoy watching sports with lots of people, this is definitely the place to come. This place is always packed with sports enthusiasts from all over the world (keep in mind that Tourists "live" on Mobay's hip-strip) and before long you will be hugging your new friends..well that depends on if your team won...

The customer service here is always very good...the bar tenders are very friendly and attentive... don't be surprised if they address you by your name on your second visit...(ok, maybe not your second visit, but you know what I mean...)
Richie, one of the really good bartenders

Kilt beach
If you want to "live the good life" and sip pina coladas on the beach, you may also do that there, as The Kilt has its own beach, and there is a waiter there who will take your orders, you dont even have to move...

There is so much more I could write, but all this reminiscing is making me hungry... If you ever visit Mobay, you should definitely check out the Twisted Kilt!! *two thumbs up*

"The House"


My friends had been telling me about "The House", Kingston's newest hot-spot for some weeks now and I decided I had to see this place for myself.


Last Saturday a group of us decided to venture there. We got there at around 11:30 pm to a completely packed venue... now I was even more curious to see what this place had to offer. I couldn't wait to "rub shoulders"(literally) with the "privileged" bunch who managed to get seats before us. We waited in the "living room", oh yea, so The House is set up like a real house, with a living room, a regular bedroom, a private bedroom (which has to be booked) and a backyard- needless to say we felt like "unwanted guests" as we stood around for about half hour (or longer) waiting to be seated. We were eventually acknowledged, but between the fight like bitches to secure a table, and the scurry for stools to sit on, I can't figure which was more welcoming. Finally we were all seated and ready to order.


My Sangria after a taking couple sips
By the time we placed our requests, our waitress informed us that the kitchen was already closed, but we could still order...yay! (5 points for The House). Having an easy flowing conversation proved difficult due to the blaring music, but we did not let that stop our communication flow...then started the BBM fest, and those who weren't busy bb-ing simply shouted in order to hear each other, while we waited on our food and drinks... I must admit the drink prices were pretty good...one glass of Sangria cost $JMD400, which is pretty good compared to most of the other places I frequent, the martinis were $JMD300.

"Quarter Burger"
The food...well that is a different story, when my friends received their burgers ($JMD700), the first thing that came out of my mouth was " This is it?"...to me, it looked like something a three-year-old had made...we joked that one friend received a half of a burger and the other, a quarter... they were the tiniest burgers I have seen in a loooong time...another friend ordered a beef wrap, and while it wasn't the biggest wrap we have ever seen, she admitted that it was tasty.
"Beef Wrap"








Ok, so after all that, here is my take on "The House"- the concept of the place is really good, however, the venue is a bit tight, and as such, not a good spot for a large group of friends to sit and dine. The loud music in the "Living Room" (which is where we sat) is definitely not conducive to a conversation type setting. The drinks are good, the food..(despite the serving size) is tasty...just make sure you are not starving when you go there...Overall, It is a good spot to hang out just before a party ( the dress code is a notch above casual).

"V" Day


Ok, so I'm still trying to get a hang of this "blog thing", so this means trying to come up with a new post to capture and keep your attention. For about a week now I have been contemplating what my next post should be about. I haven't been anywhere recently worthy of a spot in my blog so I was stuck...stuck until I had a conversation with a good friend of mine who recently started a new relationship. "Soooo...", I asked him, "what are your plans for Valentine's Day?"...He told me he was cheap broke so he wouldn't be doing much. Then he said "I dunno, maybe dinner or a movie or both". This is when I decided what my next post should be about!... Restaurants! Valentine's Day is approaching, and most couples I know are planning to go to dinner.

Photo courtesy of The HouseBoat Grill's Website
The first restaurant on my list is  "The HouseBoat Grill" located in the Freeport area in Montego Bay. It offers a unique setting for an intimate dining experience. This restaurant is docked away from the pier, so you have to be transported to it. You may dine downstairs, but upstairs has a better view. The food is excellent (constantly evolving fusion menu, Jamaican-Mediterranean cuisine), the staff was really friendly, and the ambiance was quite delightful. Men, if you are looking to impress a woman, this is the place to take her. Dress code is casually elegant.  It is one of those fancyshmancy  sophisticated restaurants so it is best to make reservations before you go.

Possibly my favourite restaurant in Montego Bay is the Sea Horse Grill at the Montego Bay Yacht Club. This is also located in the Freeport area, a little way down from The HouseBoat Grill.

I've been here a couple times and every time I go, I fall more in love with the place.

Let your hair down, close your eyes and fall in love with the saxophonist and his music while you wait to receive your meal. Or, you could keep your eyes open and stare at the Montego Bay "night-lights". The food! oh!em!gee! The food, Try their juicy tenderloin beef steak or their mouth-watering baby back ribs! yummmy!!!!  You don't usually need to make reservations for dinner, but they should be packed this Valentine's day, so make reservations before you go.                                        









 Pic is blurry, but it was the only one I could find of the setting
Journey with me as we go to Gaucho's Grill located on South Avenue in Kingston. Enjoy a nice casual poolside dining experience here. Actually, the first time I went to Gaucho's was for a Valentine's dinner some years ago, and I fell in love with the atmosphere. Since then, I've taken close friends of mine here and they've all enjoyed it. I'm a ribs kinda girl!! looove me some tender juicy ribs, and I think this is what has kept me coming back to Gaucho's. Their ribs are to die for!!!! and the prices are actually good too! Their pastas seem to be really popular among my friends as well.

The last restaurant on my list .....does not have "Grill" as part of its name...haha...I just realized that the trend with the previous restaurants...this was not intentional though....Jewel of India is my favourite Indian restaurant and perhaps the best in Jamaica...(yes, I am a little biased..sue me). It is located at Market Place, on Constant Spring Road in Kingston.
Our food
The prices are a little steep, BUT it is worth it!!! The servings meant for one person may be shared for two, yes, you get a lottttt of food! If you don't know what to order, the waiters/waitresses are always around to explain what the dishes are and to offer you suggestions.

Garlic Nan
 Some of my favourite on the menu are: Chicken Tikka Masala (spicy), Chicken Goan (Curry chicken), Rogan Josh (Mutton). These dishes are served with basmati rice or Nan (I looove the garlic and butter nans)...it may take a while to receive your main course, so order some samosas while you wait!




Friends and I outside Jewel of India
















You may dine inside/outside, I usually dine indoors if I go there with a large group. If you are as fascinated by "pretty lights" as I am, then I suggest you dine outside. Dress code is casual elegance/semi-formal. (Definitely make reservations)











P.S. Men, If you do decide to take your other half out to dinner, Don't forget the flowers! (Yes, I am an old-fashioned kinda girl)

Welcome to the Good Life: Villa Viviana


Sunset at Villa Viviana
I got my first "premier" villa experience at the Villa Viviana at The Tryall Club in Hanover, Jamaica, and I must say, it was everything I imagined and more!
"The Tryall Club, Jamaica's premier private club, offers memebers and discerning guests the luxury and hospitality of a true villa lifestyle. Set amid 2,200 lush acres, The Tryall Club provides all the ingredients necessary for an exquisite experience: world- renowned gold, private beachfront, exceptional cuisine and the best views in Jamaica". (http://www.tryallclub.com).


        
Dressed in jeans and my shades, I felt like a real "celeb", and not even the grey skies or the light rainfall could dampen my spirits when I arrived at The Tryall Club on that eventful Friday afternoon. After checking in at the front desk, we were "shuttled" to our villa.
         Upon arrival at Villa Viviana, we were greeted by the staff who had their signature “Viviana Drink” and a cool towel awaiting us. This was something I could definitely see myself getting used to. They introduced themselves and told us their positions and encouraged us to relax.
View of a part of the villa and the pool
         Sheldon, the Butler offered to take us (myself and my co-workers) on a tour of the villa, after which we were left to decide among ourselves who was going to stay in which of the six bedrooms. We were all awed by the beauty of the villa. It was also very spacious and inviting…and I felt right at home…if only… 


        By the time the tour was completed, we were told that lunch would be served in a few minutes. We all gathered around the large dining table, chatting excitedly while we waited to be served. I must admit that I was expecting sandwiches or something really light for lunch; however, I was pleasantly surprised when I realized we were having escoveitch fish, bammies and festival, served with sorrel or fruit punch. 

     The staff was very accommodating, and checked on us to make sure we were satisfied at all times! 




Sheldon making sure we were satisfied (even in the jacuzzi)


After lunch we decided to lounge around a bit, we were too full to do anything else anyway. During our time of lazing around, we were visited by Anthea, a member of the Guest Services department who came to orientate us, as we were first timers, and told us about the various amenities the club had to offer.
Our first tennis lesson
At about 4 o clock, we left the villa dressed in all white attires to head to the tennis courts to receive our first tennis lesson (for most of us anyway). The instructors were very helpful and very patient, and we had a lot of fun.

Dinner! yumm!
 Dinner was served at 7:30 pm, and once again, our taste buds and eyes were not disappointed when we saw the grilled chicken served with potatoes and vegetables on our plates.

Saturday morning saw us getting up from as early as 8 am to do yoga. Naturally, we were all groggy, but by the time we were halfway through it, we forgot we were even sleepy, and listened intently to our yogi and followed ATTEMPTED to follow her instructions as best as was physically possible.




  I cannot stop talking about the food!!! Just reminiscing about it is making my mouth water; breakfast was fruits, French toast, omelet, waffles, bacon and a glass of orange juice. I said it before, but I feel the need to reiterate, I could definitely get used to this royal treatment!
French Toast, Waffles, omelette, bacon






After breakfast, we went to the golf course where we received golf lessons, this was also a first for the majority of us. Once again, the staff was very patient with us, and made it a wonderful experience for us
Golf lessons

The sun was scorching that Saturday morning, and it is a very good thing that we had sailing directly after golf. Raul from watersports took us sailing, and this cooled us down a lot. He chatted easily with us, and for those of us who were nervous, our fears quickly disappeared. When we got back to land, we washed tried to wash the salt away off us, but there were no towels to dry us off, I was having way too much fun to let this bother me though.


  Sunday came way too soon! We were not ready to take our leave; we were thoroughly spoiled by Sheldon, the chef and the rest of the villa staff. But, as the saying goes, all good tings must come to an end :(
I definitely intend to be rich!
