Because sometimes you just want to pop a cork and not think too hard about it. Find the wine in your state on our . This wine was inspired by the illustrious cheeseburger. It's the all American food that's simple yet inspiring, full of flavor, and a symbol of summertime, grilling, and family. We were introduced to "Cheeseburger Sunday" by Jack, a family friend, and we adopted that tradition 20 years ago. After all, shouldn't cheeseburgers have a specific day of the week devoted to them? The burgers are thick and juicy, cooked over a white oak wood fire, with a huge piece of cheddar cheese melted right on top. The signature touch is a Toasted English muffin instead of a bun. The wine was created to team up with this great invention, and is smooth and jammy, bursting with red fruit that so perfectly complements a slight char. The tannins are assertive, but won't knock you off your chair. And yes, pair it up with any kinds of grilled foods; you'll get the point.

Executive Chef Craig Strong - Montage Laguna Beach Hotel Chef Craig Strong joined Montage Laguna Beach as Executive Chef of Studio in June 2009. Chef Strong, known for his modern French cuisine with California influences, developed a love for cooking at an early age. One of eight children growing up in San Diego, he was inspired by his mother and grandmother to first experiment with tomatoes and zucchini grown in the family's vegetable garden that was his to manage. From 1990 to 1994, Chef Strong held numerous culinary positions, including Saucier at La Caille in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah; the Capitol Club at Hyatt Regency, Washington, D.C.; Sous Chef at the fine dining Glitretind Restaurant at Stein Erikson Lodge in Deer Valley, Utah; First Assistant to Chef at the Adams Mark Hotel in Philadelphia, and then at The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, where he honed classic techniques with Asian influences. In 1995, he moved to Atlanta to work at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, as Garde Manger with Chef Guenter Seeger and then as Saucier and Tournant with Chef Joel Antunes, whose classically trained French background added yet another international dimension to Strong's style. Chef Strong then moved to Europe as Sous Chef for The Newport Room at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona, the fine dining restaurant in a property managed by Ritz-Carlton. Working in Spain added another facet to Chef Strong's cooking. The emphasis on olive oil, fresh seafood and the Mediterranean climate, similar to that of Southern California, led Chef Strong to embrace the bold flavors and rustic style of Spanish cuisine, adding the refinement of French techniques. The concept and overall experience of Studio is dedicated to highlighting the best this idyllic location has to offer—pristine ingredients from local purveyors, unsurpassed views of the Pacific Ocean and an elegantly comfortable approach to the dining experience. Studio has most recently been recognized with Three Stars from Los Angeles Times, Five Stars from Mobil Travel Guide, Robb Report as one of 'America's Finest Dining Restaurants,' and Food & Wine magazine's 'Top 50 Hotel Restaurants'.

05/02 Larry Lipson, Tim Warrillow, Charles Rolls, Chef Brian Hill | 05/02 Larry Lipson, Tim Warrillow, Charles Rolls, Chef Brian Hill Larry Lipson Costa Rica Wine Correspondent For fifty years Larry Lipson was the food critic for the Los Angeles Daily News and reports from Costa Rica weekly with thoughts and favorite picks for Food & Wine. Tim Warrillow and Charles Rolls Fever Tree Co-Founders Following a 'tonic tasting' in 2000 to find the best on the US market, Charles Rolls – who had built his reputation running Plymouth Gin – joined forces with Tim Warrillow, who had a background in luxury food marketing, to analyze the composition of mixers. The pair discovered that the majority of mixers were preserved with sodium benzoate or similar substances, while the use of cheap orange aromatics such as decanal and, artificial sweeteners (such as saccharin) was widespread – a combination that was affecting the tasting experience and driving customers away from the sector. So, in 2004, they began creating mixers using natural and fresh ingredients. Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water launched in the UK in early 2005, the brand name chosen due to ‘Fever Tree’ being the colloquial name for the Cinchona Tree in which quinine, a key ingredient for tonic, is found. The highest quality quinine was sourced from the Rwanda Congo border and blended with spring water and eight botanical flavours, including rare ingredients such as marigold extracts and a bitter orange from Tanzania. Crucially, no artificial sweeteners, preservatives or flavourings were added. The highly carbonated tonic, consisting of small ‘champagne’ bubbles for a smoother taste, was packaged in 200ml single serve glass bottles, the perfect size for a double measure gin & tonic; the glass packaging was designed to reflect the premium natural values of the brand and to ensure freshness. Without a proper marketing budget the company’s future lay in the hands of editorial exposure. A short piece in the national press in the summer of 2005 elicited an instant and positive response. Sales rose dramatically and Waitrose, looking to revamp its mixer category, approached the company to list the product. One month later it was on shelf and Waitrose’s share of the mixer market grew from seven to eight per cent in just one year. Majestic, Oddbins, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason also started selling Fever-Tree, subsequently followed by Sainsbury’s and Tesco in 2008. During this period of success, the Fever- Tree mixer range blossomed to include an award-winning Bitter Lemon, a Lemonade, a Ginger Ale and a Ginger Beer (Both ginger drinks using three natural gingers from Cochin, the Ivory Coast and Nigeria) and the world’s first all-natural lower calorie tonic water. Leading bartenders quickly cottoned on to the benefits of a great mixer; Today, Fever-Tree is served in top hotels, leading restaurants and gastro pubs countrywide. Internationally, it can be found in 7 out of the top 10 restaurants in the world (as voted for by Restaurant magazine in 2008). In Spain, the world’s largest premium gin & tonic market per capita, Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water was immortalised at El Bulli, where world-renowned chef Ferran Adria turned it into a course in itself: ‘Sopa de Fever-Tree tonica’. In the US, the world’s largest mixers market, Fever-Tree was awarded ‘Best New Product’ at the 2008 Tales of the Cocktail awards. The most powerful endorsements, however, have come from the trade; there is universal support of Fever-Tree’s reinvigoration of the long overlooked mixer sector, a David and Goliath battle against the conglomerate power of the mass market brands. Spirit companies have also been quick to endorse the brand and the Fever-Tree team now work on sampling and co-promotion opportunities with many of the premium companies such as Martin Millers, Belvedere, Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Johnnie Walker and Plymouth Gin, driving Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow’s ambition of qualit | 5/2/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

04/30 Milt Larsen: Magic Castle, Napa Valley Vintners | 04/30 What's Cookin' Today Milt Larsen "Magic Castle" MON APRIL 30 - As one of Los Angeles most recognized Hollywood landmarks approaches the eve of its 50th anniversary as a popular tourist destination, The Magic Castle (having celebrated the 100th anniversary of the structure - known as Lane Manor - a year ago) and the Academy of Magical Arts will, for the first time in its history, host an "Women In Magic Week" from May 7th to 13th. The artistry of illusion and magic can trace its roots as far back as the Egyptian Pharaohs - predating film, television and even the vaudeville stage by centuries. However, the revered title of Magician was always reserved for the men, while women were often dubbed sorceress or simply a witch. Producer, Dale Hindman, has secured some of the finest female magician performers for the occasion. Included among those who have successfully conquered the male dominated industry of illusion are Luna Shimada (daughter of longtime magic legend Shimada), Suzzane (first female recipient of the Close Up Magician of the Year award), and 9 other lady magicians. The Magic Castle will be honoring one of its own pioneers of illusion, the beloved Gerri Larsen. Without whom, as the mother of the Founders, The Magic Castle would never exist. Gerrie Larsen was a regular on local television in Los Angeles and performed her own full show for many years. A tribute of clips featuring her performances will be included in the Palace Theatre during the week with occasional commentary by son and Co-Founder, Milt Larsen. In addition, Liberty Larsen (great granddaughter of Gerrie) will be the MC in the palace and performing one of her great grandmother's signature trick Terry Hall - NAPA Valley Vintners MON APRIL 30 - Join the Must-Attend Event of the Year in Napa Valley!

Melissa Stackhouse,VP of Winemaking for JWinery Agriculture has played an important role in the life of Melissa Stackhouse. Growing up in a Michigan farming community, and having grandparents who were farmers in rural Minnesota, she became keenly aware of their dedication to the land at an early age. ?Their hard work resulted in many wonderful meals, cooked with the fresh ingredients straight from the farm,? says Stackhouse. ?I developed an appreciation for fresh food from the garden, and it ultimately led to agriculture as a career choice.? After spending some time in New Zealand working on organic farms, Melissa decided to pursue grape growing and winemaking. She enrolled in the University of California at Davis, where in 1998 she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Viticulture and Enology. While earning her degree, and in the years following, she worked at such prestigious wineries as Robert Mondavi, Peter Michael, Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Sterling Vineyards, and Alexander Valley Cellars. In 2003, she moved to Sonoma County to pursue her interest in Pinot Noir by becoming the winemaker at La Crema. It was there that she took notice of Sonoma County?s Russian River Valley and its distinctive soils, numerous clonal selections, and cool-climate vineyards. Melissa remained winemaker at La Crema until 2010 when she was named Winemaster for all Pinot Noir production at Jackson Family Wines. In her role at J Vineyards & Winery, Melissa builds upon existing programs built around the ten Estate-owned vineyards. She also works to develop long-term relationships with key growers in the Russian River Valley. ?Each one of our vineyards has a unique personality,? she says. ?We are going to dig deep into the soil to better understand and encourage the right expression of flavor for each estate vineyard. It is important to distinguish and separate these flavor profiles, whether it becomes a J varietal wine, or a J sparkling wine.?

GOVERNOR JAY DARDENNE LIVE FROM THE LOUISIANA COAST IN GRAND ISLE Two years after the BP oil spill disaster just off the Louisiana coast, tourism in the Louisianacoastal parishes is still suffering major declines based on pre-spill data. According to Louisiana Tourism Coastal Coalition Chairman Violet Peters, "Our coastal business owners who rely on tourism are still feeling the impact of the spill. Many charter fishing operations are booking fewer than half the charters they were booking prior to the spill, and yet the fishing is better than ever." The Louisiana Tourism Coastal Coalition created the state's first-ever coastal tourism campaign with a $5 million outlay from BP tourism funds, but the campaign ends in June. Said Peters, "When reviewing other oil spill disasters as a model, it is evident that it can take more than five years for disaster areas to recover fully as a tourism destination. We are just now starting to experience some uptrends in some of our coastal tourism areas and the campaign is coming to an end." The BP oil spill disaster occurred on April 20, 2010. The Louisiana Tourism Coastal Coalition is comprised of 10 tourism leaders who represent the coastal Louisiana tourism offices. According to coalition members, charter fishing operations are experiencing the biggest downtrend in out-of-state tourists, but parks, recreation and other coastal tourism attractions in Louisiana are also still feeling the impact. Louisiana Charter Fishing Association members have also indicated their concern regarding the end of BP's assistance to promote the full return of their business. Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne will be live on the Gulf of Mexico at Sand Dollar Marina in Grand Isle, Louisiana. He is available to discuss what steps are next for Louisiana and why the state needs the support of BP to bring tourists back to the Louisiana Coast. About Lt.
