How Princess Cruises is servIng up innovative dining

    The exclusive dining experience on the Princess Discovery is unlike any other I have been a part of during my travels. "360: An Extraordinary Experience" is dining immersion making one feel like you’re sitting in the Greek countryside with olive trees or smelling the fragrance of lavender in the south of France. Thanks to Princess Cruises, I savored this time with fellow bloggers. I immediately became captivated with the experience when I heard beautiful music played by two violinists and…

Bon appétit, Seychelles-style

MelanieMaya This archipelago´s cuisine blends various aspects of French, Chinese, Indian and African influences, and not surprisingly, seafood – fish, octopus (above) and shellfish – plays a major role.  Spices that abound here include coriander, ginger, and lemongrass, and other common elements include coconut milk and fruit like tamarind and papaya. Seafood is prepared baked, curried, grilled, salted, smoked, steamed, and wrapped in banana leaves, and invariably served with rice. One…

    If "a white ine that will hold uyp to a really low temp" try an inexpensive Pinot Gris from Oregon, Pinot Grigio from Italy, Sauvignon Blanc from California, a rosé from Spain or France's mediterranean, etc. But really, what you need is not a glass of wine but a bottle of really cold beer.

    Sitting in a bucket of ice for about 4 hours. I realize this isn't really the proper temperature for it but on a really hot day like today, that's what I'm looking for...a white wine that will hold up to a really low temp.

    Hi Darryl, What do you mean by an "extremely well-chilled chardonnay?"
  • Darryl Musick September 26, 2010 at 5:12pm
    It's another Cocktail Hour on The World on Wheels. Today, it's around 110 degrees on the patio so we extol the virtues of an extremely well-chilled chardonnay: http://tinyurl.com/2d54225

    On a recent mini-vacation to the Berkshires, we dined at two noteworthy places.

    At Mezze Bistro + Bar in Williamstown, we had one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The farm-to-table concept is imaginatively and flawlessly executed here. I had a perfectly cooked pan-roasted halibut in a light provencale-type sauce, with a roasted beet appetizer. My husband had the pork loin, which was plump and flavorful; and the Mighty Food Farm egg appetizer, a playful twist on a soft-boiled/hard-boiled egg. We shared a cheese plate for dessert. Everything was exquisite. Short but great wine list, with unusual selections. I had a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, which was wonderfully crisp; the waiter recommended an ale for my husband that was perfect. Terrific, unobtrusive service by well-trained waiters: a "you-guys"-free zone. The latest menu, updated for Fall, looks great.

    We also enjoyed Gramercy Bistro in North Adams. Wonderfully hand-crafted and engagingly presented food is made from locally sourced ingredients. I had the best sweetbreads of my life - light and heavenly, with a green salad topped with local chevre and a delicate vinaigrette. My husband had a perfect filet served with a potato puree and green beans - simple but wonderful. He pronounced the chicken liver mousse app the best he had eaten anywhere in the world, including France - transcendent. There's a short but thoughtfully assembled wine list with reasonably priced wines by the glass, including a Celestin Blondeau sauvignon blanc (France) that was just terrific. Service was pleasant but a bit uneven.
