Wine of the Week: 2010 Giovanni Almondo Roero Arneis ‘Vigne Sparse’
Arneis was a grape that was practically extinct when Alfredo Currado of Vietti and Bruno Giacosa brought it back from obscurity in the early ’70s. Theirs are still benchmark examples, but I also like very much the Arneis from Giovanni Almondo. On one of these lovely spring evenings, this 2010 Arneis makes a perfect aperitif. It’s light and refreshing, perfumed with white peaches. And yet there’s an underlying minerality that gives it some weight. Never one-dimensional, Almondo’s 2010 “Vigne Spar

Jeju black pigs, a special breed
Spring not only heralds longer days and warmer weather. It also signals the onslaught of yellow dust. When the dust rolls in, the masks go on and pork, which is believed to help detoxify the body of inhaled pollutants, gets served. Add to that the recent, controversial public reaction to the news of yet another case of mad cow disease in the U.S. and it looks like this might be the season of the pig. Now, when it comes to breds on South Korean turf, the Jeju Island black pig is among the most pr

Cocktails are quaffed, urbane characters fence with four-syllable words, young men dress for parties in white tie, and debutantes fret over such One Percent problems as “a severe escort shortage.”Stillman was retro before “Mad Men” made it co
