New documentary a feast for sushi lovers
Posted: March 9, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
Don't go hungry when you see the documentary film Jiro Dreams of Sushi. And if you love sushi (as I do), make tracks to see it. At the very least, it will give you an appreciation of why it takes years to learn how to make great sushi and what it can be like when it's done by the best. It's also an engaging portrait of Japan's most celebrated sushi master.
The film, in Japanese with English subtitles, opens today in New York and in other cities nationwide later this month.

Selecting a savvy—but concise—wine list for a restaurant is more challenging than you think
Posted: March 7, 2012 By Tim Fish
when the lists are small and smartly selected—and backed up with a knowledgeable waitstaff—you get a sense of the restaurant’s wine karma. The excitement and energy of wine comes at you on a personal level, with a connection between you, the food and the person recommending the wine.
Keeping customers happy with a modest list can be a tightrope, put plenty of restaurants do it. Two in Sonoma County epitomize the best of these focused lists: Terrapin Creek Café in Bodega Bay and Scopa in Healdsburg.

Revisiting the groundbreaking book Taste Buds and Molecules
Posted: February 20, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
It is worth casting a skeptical eye on received wisdom about wine. So much of what we think we know turns out to be wrong. Early in my gastronomic career I grabbed the wrong glass and inadvertently took a sip of red wine with my grilled salmon, only to find that it made better music in my mouth than the white wine next to it.
Received wisdom takes a beating in Taste Buds and Molecules by François Chartier (Wiley, $37). An English-language translation is set to be released March 5.

Researching a travel story to the region, things are looking up
Posted: February 15, 2012 By Tim Fish
I’ve been spending a lot of time traveling the back roads of Sonoma County the past few weeks, working on a travel story devoted to visiting the area. Our last major Sonoma travel package was in 2007 and considering the economy during the past five years there are a surprising number of new tasting rooms, restaurants and hotels. Here are a few of the bright spots I've found.
