Experience the Exquisite Flavor of the 2015 Vintage Basilica del Cortaccio Cabernet Sauvignon, Hand-Selected by Jamie and Marcu

1/15/2023

0 Comments

 
When it comes to finding the perfect wine to complement a meal or to simply enjoy on its own, it can be a daunting task. With so many options on the market, it can be difficult to know where to start. However, if you're a fan of Cabernet Sauvignon, we have a wine that is sure to impress. Introducing the 2015 vintage of Basilica del Cortaccio Cabernet Sauvignon, an elite vineyard located in Cafaggio, Tuscany, Italy.

This 4.2 hectare vineyard is a prime example of what can be achieved when using organic farming methods. The south-west exposure and altitude of 355m above sea level provide the perfect conditions for the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to thrive. The soil, which is a silty-clay loam, is rich in minerals and is derived from grey and olive green marl limestone, as well as calcareous sandstone of 'Argille scagliose' (scaly clay) formation. The vines are trained in a spurred cordon system and planted in a density of 7,200 vines per hectare, ensuring that the grapes receive optimal exposure to sunlight and nutrients.

The 2015 vintage underwent manual harvesting in mid-October, which is the perfect time to ensure that the grapes are at their peak of ripeness. The wine underwent alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, before being pressed and soaked in the marc through manual pressing and pump-overs with air. The wine then underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation, which gives the wine a creamier, softer texture. The wine was then aged for 18 months in French oak (Tronçais and Allier) barriques that have been used once previously (medium-toasted), and bottle-aged for six months before sales start. The result is a wine that has a complex and well-balanced flavor profile, with notes of dark fruit, cedar, and a hint of vanilla.
​

The 2015 vintage of Basilica del Cortaccio Cabernet Sauvignon received an outstanding 93-point review from James Suckling. Jamie and Marcus personally visited this winery in Tuscany in 2019 as a part of their Winery tours, and were impressed by the quality and flavor of the wine. Now, you too can experience the exquisite flavor of this wine at Aroma Thyme Bistro. The 2015 vintage is currently on our wine list and is drinking incredibly well. Don't miss out on the chance to try this amazing wine

Bridging the Divide: The Lurton Family's Adventure in Creating Baja California's Premier Winery - Bodegas Henri Lurton

1/15/2023

0 Comments

 
Born out of an adventure that links France to Mexico. Henri Lurton, owner of Grand Cru Classé, Chateau Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, with the support of his eldest sons, Vincent & Nicolas, has made a significant investment in Baja California. Convinced by its winemaking potential, the warmth of its people and the generosity of its land, the Lurton Family is intent on creating one of Baja California’s premier wineries.

One of the brand’s “secret weapons” is the fact that the “Lurton Family Business” has been firmly rooted in wine for generations. At last count, the Lurton family tree can count more than 30 wine projects around the world. Needless to say, having access to generations of information and experience can be quite useful when launching a new brand into the emerging market like Baja.

Seamlessly bridging the cultural and viticultural divide between France & Mexico has been key to the brand’s rapid rise and acceptance in both the United States & Mexico.
​
Bodegas Henri Lurton seeks to faithfully convey nature’s bounty and the Baja Terroir, uniting it with the mestizo vision that is based around tradition and authenticity.

Pechuga Mezcal: Exploring the Savory and Complex World of Distilled Meat and Seasonal Ingredients

1/15/2023

0 Comments

 
Mezcal lovers, brace yourselves: we're diving deep into the world of pechuga mezcal. But what exactly is pechuga mezcal, you might ask? Pechuga mezcal is a type of mezcal that is distilled with something other than just fermented agave. It's called a "destilado con" in Spanish, which translates to "distilled with."

Typically, pechuga mezcal is distilled twice before ingredients are added for a third distillation. The process and ingredients used vary depending on the region in which the mezcal is being made. Often, a maestro mezcalero will hang a chicken breast with wire in the still during this final distillation. But it's not just chicken that's used in pechuga mezcal. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs are also used, and sometimes thrown directly into the still or sifted through cheesecloth.

The history of pechuga mezcal is somewhat of a mystery, but it's believed to date back several generations and to have originated in Oaxaca. Alvin Starkman of Mezcal Educational Tours in Oaxaca was able to trace the tradition of pechuga mezcal back to the 1930s through an oral history from a local in Santiago Matatlán. He notes that variations of pechuga, which employ a meat protein, continue to be served today at many rite of passage celebrations in Oaxaca.

When it comes to meats used in pechuga mezcal, the possibilities are endless. Pechuga literally translates to "breast" in Spanish, and historically, people have used all kinds of meats including chicken, turkey, deer, lamb, rabbit, iguana, and even lobster. Of all the pechugas that have been tried, deer pechuga and traditional pechuga are two favorites, as well as a lobster pechuga mezcal created by Starkman himself.

While traditionally pechuga mezcal is made with meat, it's not a requirement. In recent years, more and more maestro mezcaleros have been experimenting with making pechuga mezcal using only fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These vegan pechuga mezcals are becoming increasingly popular as the agave spirits category expands.

So, what does pechuga mezcal taste like? Well, the main flavor note that stands out when compared to non-pechuga mezcal is the umami flavor. This is from the meat that is introduced during distillation. Expect a savory, decadent, sometimes even gamey or wild taste, but do not expect the flavor to be overwhelmingly strong. It's more like a subtle addition rather than a flavor punch.
​
If you're interested in trying pechuga mezcal for yourself, know that you can expect a unique, delicious, and complex flavor experience. And with more and more maestro mezcaleros pushing the boundaries of traditional mezcals, the options are endless. So go out, explore, and find your new favorite pechuga mezcal. Cheers!

Experience the Ultimate Brisket at Aroma Thyme: Slow-Smoked and Sous-Vide Perfection

1/13/2023

0 Comments

 
Get ready for the best brisket of your life! Our mouthwatering brisket at Aroma Thyme is the talk of the town and has limited availability, so don't wait too long to try it.

What makes our brisket so special? It starts with the finest Nihman Ranch beef, 100% true Angus and raised on sustainable ranches in the US. Their cows are treated with the utmost care and are never given hormones or antibiotics, ensuring that the beef is not only delicious but also ethically raised.

But the real magic happens when we slow smoke the brisket for up to 12 hours and then finish it off with a 48-hour sous-vide cook at 160 degrees. The result is a brisket that is tender, flavorful, and practically melts in your mouth. Trust us, you haven't had a brisket like this before.
Don't miss out on this limited-availability taste sensation. Head over to Aroma Thyme and treat yourself to the best brisket you've ever had. Your taste buds (and stomach) will thank you.
