Wine of the Week: 2009 Domaine de la Janasse Cotes-du-Rhone Villages ‘Terre d’Argile’
I’m loving this Cotes-du-Rhone Villages from a vineyard next door to the domaine’s Chateauneuf-du Pape vines in Courthezon. No simple red, Domaine de la Janasse’s cuvee “Terre d’Argile” is a blend of 55 percent Grenache with lesser amounts of Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvedre. The scents of dark berries, earth and something wild and smoky are all right there. The color is intense, the flavors rich and deep. A beautiful bottle for wood-grilled or roasted meats, a burger or a pastrami sandwi

David Chang, the rock star of ramen, goes global
NEW YORK (AP) ― David Chang is not your typical celebrity chef. He has no television show, and most people outside the world of avid New York foodies would not have a clue who he was if they came across him on the street, an unassuming if intense-looking, 30-ish guy in a backward baseball cap.But to those who worship the steamed pork buns at his Momofuku Noodle Bar or the rotisserie duck at momofuku ssam Bar, or compete in the fiendish online lottery for one of 12 seats at the high-end Momofuku

Cheap eats in storied market
Korean snacks straight off the griddle at Gwangjang Market’s food bazaarA buoyant air of camaraderie pervades Gwangjang Market’s famed food bazaar. Essentially an X-shaped convergence of stalls and sit-down eateries, at night the food-packed turf is brimming with regulars and tourists who have come to rub shoulders, clink glasses and have a good time. Part of the fun is the spectacle of watching grub being whipped up on the premises. At stalls from left to right, huge millstones grind mung beans

Wine of the week: 2010 Jean-Marc Burgaud Regnie ‘Vallieres’
Don’t recognize the Beaujolais cru called Regnie? That’s probably because it’s the youngest, established only in 1988, and not as well known as Morgon or Fleury.Vines grown in sandy soil produce a wine that’s round and supple, with light, graceful tannins. Burgaud’s Vallieres comes from 50-year-old vines. The result is an elegant, refined Beaujolais that hints at Burgundy. Vivid and quick, it is Gamay at its best with tastes of cherries and sweet spices. And it’s a terrific value.This could be a

SAINTE CROIX DU MONT, France (AFP) ― Sweet wine growers in the hills near Bordeaux have been left sour-faced after a village convenience store was fined in court for selling them tons of sugar ― allegedly to make jam.France allows growers to add grape must or sugar during fermentation in order to increase the degree of alcohol in their wine, but with strict rules on the quantity allowed. There is also a tax of 13 euros per 100 kilos of sugar.The DGCCRF fraud prevention agency grew suspicious aft

Deulkkae sujebi, wholesome homestyle fare
Perilla seeds bring robust flavors to classic hand-torn noodle soupPerilla (“deulkkae”) ― like the more widely known sesame seed ― is chock-full of nutty, toasty flavors that are both robust and delicate, making it a go-to ingredient in the vast lexicon of Korean cooking. Whole seeds coat sticky rice flour cookies. Ground seeds and perilla oil are used to add a round richness to blanched stalks, vegetable stir-fries and soups. Flavor is not the sole impetus behind the consumption of perilla. Per

Oldest U.S. winery offers ‘crazy’ tipples
WASHINGTONVILLE (AFP) ― In a bucolic valley an hour from New York City, the oldest vineyard in the United States is producing everything from wines that end up on the White House dining table to what the chief winemaster calls “crazy” tipples.Established in 1839 by Jean Jacques, a French Huguenot immigrant, the Brotherhood vineyard has produced wine ever since, surviving the Prohibition, thanks to a loophole for church wine, and a big fire in 1999.The winery saw two changes of ownership around t

Wine of the Week: 2010 Regis Minet Pouilly Fume ‘Vieilles Vignes’
The minute I tasted this terrific Pouilly Fume from Regis Minet, I wanted oysters. Not just a half dozen but at least a couple dozen, chilled, naked and preferably Kumamotos. Minet’s old-vine Sauvignon Blanc picks up a stony minerality and bracing acidity that would be perfect with most things from the raw bar. You can taste lime and grapefruit too in this intense, nervous white.It’s also a fine value for a wine of this quality.● Region: Loire Valley● Price: From $18 to $23● Style: Lively● What

L.A.’s new restaurants serve up a great year
LOS ANGELES ― Each year I keep a running log to track restaurants slated to open each month. When this January rolled around and I started my new list, I fully expected the pace of openings to slow to a trickle.That hasn’t happened. Instead, despite the curdled economy, L.A.’s restaurant scene this year has busted out with new energy and invention. And it continues to inspire the entire country. I can’t tell you how many New Yorkers and even, gasp, San Franciscans have told me that Los Angeles i

Serosugil establishing itself as a gourmet getaway
Garosugil ― the tree-lined, shop-packed street in Sinsa-dong, Seoul ― has been a hotspot for years. After the initial wave of businesses set up shop on the main thoroughfare, a profusion of establishments, boutiques and other businesses branched out into neighboring streets flanking both sides of the main street. At first, the whole mass was referred to as Garosugil, then it got so big that the side streets took on a name of their own ― Serosugil. With practically every nook and cranny taken up

Beer to try: Rodenbach Grand Cru
Rodenbach Grand Cru is a Flanders red ale, a Belgian style that is lighter-bodied but deeply complex. Despite its relative lightness, a well-executed Flanders red is sweet, sour, fruity, dry, rich and clean all at once.Little wonder that an almost 200-year-old Belgian label like Rodenbach would be a definitive take on one of the country’s signature styles. In standard Rodenbach, 25 percent of the batch is aged for two years, then blended with an unaged version. The Grand Cru changes the ratio to
