Bocuse d`Or in the sight


The first for in the new 2013 is all about food.


Now it is the time of year when all the important culinary competitions start with the Swedish chef of the year with my friend and team captain  for the Skåne Kulinar Martin Hansen in the finals and I wish him the best of luck cause I will not be there this year due to my trip to France and a mission in the wine world.

The other competition is the finals of the Bocuse d`Or with the amazing Swedish chef Adam Dahlberg representing his country with help of among many others his technical coach Peter Jelksäter who is also responsible for the Swedish national Junior  culinary team.

I will have a glass of wine and cross my fingers for you guys in Lyon end of January.

Here are some amazing pictures of the food that Adam was presenting on the European finals last summer where hi did 2:nd after Norway and Denmark as third.

You can easily say that the culinary scene have moved to the north for the last years when you look at all the results on the years latest competitions and all what the journalists around the world is writing now.
Here are some pictures from Gastronomi Sverige.

Wine from the vending machine?


My latest friends in the wine world is the wines made by the dynamic duo Sarah & Chris Vandendriessche (try to pronounce this after a bottle of wine) and the great artist of all the labels Grant Schexnider and his wife Laura who all together created the Vending Machine Winery in Napa CA.

Christina broth some back from the states for me to taste and It was a true pleasure.

The 2009 Crooked Mayor is a 100% cabernet Sauvignon from old vines that undergo a long maceration in 50% new French oak and are as always bottled without any filtration or disturbance to the wine, 100% pure fruit juice

The wine is packed with dark blueberry jammy fruit and cassis all well balanced with the spicy oak, dark cherrys and tobacco, long lingering aftertaste.

You have to try the Loulas Revenge, Horror Show, Eccentric and the Dubbleshot Gun if you can find them in the store, worth look for.
