The weather gods were with us again last Saturday – we set up the market for rain… and wouldn’t you know it, the forecasters were off base, again.
This coming Saturday is the culmination of two years of work in our state legislature. If you have been hesitant in purchasing the market’s wine without tasting it, your wait is over. We have received our liquor permit for tastings and will be serving during the market hours from 10 to 2pm. Look for our special location next to the market information booth. Remember, all proceeds from the sale of wine goes to help run the market. And you can write off portions of your purchase on your income tax. Helping us kick off the tastings will be our favorite wine guru, Ric Jacobson (Corky Cellars). Don’t forget to join Wanolitto’s Wine Club while you are purchasing the market’s wine.
If you have ever been to European countries that border the Mediterranean Sea you probably have tasted their seafood stews. Each country has their own take on what the ingredients are and how they are prepared. The stews are usually made with whatever the fisherman has left over from his day at sea. This week’s recipe takes a little bit of all of them for a hardy stew that will warm your tummy on the cold winter nights.
