That’s how Deborah Hansen, of Taberna de Haro, introduces her faithful clients to the wonders of Spanish rosé wines. Below is her letter to friends who might like to join her in this autumn’s wine seminar on the wonders of this fruity, crisp wine.
Dear Wine Tasters,
Welcome back to Wednesday night Wine Seminars at Taberna […]
This is the first in a series of “Wineglass Travel” by Deborah Hansen of Taberna de Haro tapas restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts.
I feel like I took “Aerolineas Mas Roig” to Monsant, that lovely D.O. in Spain that often plays second fiddle its more-renown […]
We could spend hours alone just tasting and discussing albarino, that beautiful varietal that is subtly tropical and boldly mineral from Rias Baixas, Galicia. I love her miracle - a grape grown in a cool and rainy place on the Atlantic that expresses sunshine through aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, and lychee. Old trellises lift […]
Once again, I’m appalled by the service you can receive in a restaurant in Spain. This is one of my pet peeves about living here and one that I feel I have to voice every once in awhile, both for my own relief and, more especially, in the hope that restaurant owners and managers will […]
Another cold day in the city of the Little Mermaid (whom I have yet to see). Unfortunately, despite careful planning, the bike ride event we had planned for early this afternoon was not the success that we would have wanted. In fact, it was no success at all. There is so much going on around […]
Things that I like about the city: there are bikes everywhere, no matter the weather. Most of the bikes are left on the sides of buildings and at posts without locks. The buildings are low. The Danish overall are tall and slim and attractive. After a few beers in the evening, they’re talkative and engaging. […]
At over 2,000 euros (almost $3,000) the kilo (2.2 lbs), you’d think everyone would be investing in the farming of saffron. However, harvesting this precious spice is back-breaking work. Not to mention, just consider how many of the feather-light stigmas you actually have to collect in your basket to reach a kilogram of weight, and […]
This urban garden is doing more than just growing vegetables and herbs. Some local Brooklyn folks have banded together to collect street leaves, diverting them from landfills and converting them to “good fertile soil.” They turned an empty lot, destined for new condos, into a community garden, for veggies and flowers, even combating Guiliani to […]
We had a fantastic meal at The Farm on Adderley, located in Ditmas Park. In the spirit of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, this cozy restaurant believes in sustainable eating, local produce and transparency in their produce sources, offering a list of the purveyors for all of their foods.
The meal consisted of a prix-fixe menu: five courses, […]
Finally, the autumn nip is in the air, leading me to decide that it would be a good time to organize a family meal of cocido madrileño, the cold weather dish par excellence. I had heard that Taberna de la Daniela was one of the best places specializing in cocido.
As it turns out, there are […]
