We're Zeppole Crazy!

Hot Italian
Fritters dipped in Raspberry Sauce or Carmel Coffee Sauce. That’s
a great way to begin a day, we think.
Officially, they’re for a ferociously celebrated Italian Holiday,
Saint Joseph’s Day (March 19th), and they're called Zeppole di San
Giuseppe, but we think they’re terrific everyday. Come celebrate
Spring and fresh Zeppole at
Wickwood!!!

Wyncroft Wickwood Wine
Weekend
What do Alinea, The Rattlesnake Club, Charlie Trotter’s, Tapawingo,
The Lark, The Rowe, Tribute, The Sierra Room and The Journeyman
all have in common? Wyncroft Wines are on their Wine Lists! These
are true treasures of the wines being made in America today.

We
first met Jim and Rae Lee Lester early last year in
Wickwood’s own Garden Room and loved talking food and wine
with them.. Then, several months later we tasted their
wines!!! WOW! is the only word to be used for them. They are
big gorgeous estate-grown single-vineyard appellation wines
that are world class! The winemakers had been far too
modest. |
First it was their Chardonnay reminiscent of the Grand Cru
Meursaults, Puligny-Montrachets and Cortons that we had
enjoyed in Burgundy. You can describe it as buttery, carmely,
a bit like Crème Brulee, but a WOW will suffice. We kept
asking “How do you know how to make wines like these???” And
in Michigan!!
And then we began to taste more. Their Avonlea and
Madron Lake Rieslings, The Madron Lake Gewurztraminer
, their Pinot Noir which is reminiscent of Chambertin
and their Shou which is patterned after the wines of
Paulliac and Magaux (remember when we could splurge on
an occasional bottle of Petrus? ) Well you simply have
to taste them to believe them!!! That’s where the
restaurants come in.
You won’t find Wyncroft Wines in wine shops, only on the very best
restaurant’s Wine Lists. That’s the way the Lester’s
want it. And, by being on their Private customer
mailing list where you can buy wines by the case only.

And so, since we aren’t
good at keeping secrets, we’re going to have a
Wyncroft Wickwood Wine Weekend for wine lovers and
aspiring wine lovers, one weekend in November. You
won’t want to miss it. We know we’ll be there!!
