Mahi, Mahi Tacos, and Fifty Shades of Fish
Hey Y'all, It's been a very busy week with not a lot of time to work on this email.  Happening Saturday I'll be back in town on Saturday to enjoy our weekly Saturday Grilling Event from 11:00 - 3:00. This Saturday it's MAHI TACOS which are so good I would come back a day early from vacation just for them. |
This Week's Free Wine Tasting: Saturday 3:00-5:00
Last week we tasted some Rhone wines. This week we will sample some Rhone grape varietals grown in California and made into delicious wines made by small, passionate wineries.
Cass Viognier, 2025 - $25.97
Paso Robles
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
NOSE: White peach, apricot, ripe pear, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and jasmine lift with lemon zest and a light wet- stone mineral note.
PALATE: Nectarine, golden apple, and melon. A creamy mid- palate balanced by fresh acidity with a touch of ginger and citrus.
FINISH: Clean, polished, and persistent. Lingering stone fruit and floral tones with a hint of mineral and grapefruit that keeps it bright.
Outward Shell Creek Valdiguie, 2025 - $28.79
Paso Robles
The 2025 Shell Creek Valdiguié bursts with bright juicy flavors and aromas of watermelon jolly rancher, fresh cherries, rhubarb, and macerated strawberries. Exceptionally light, fruity, and joyful, this carbonic expression is our beloved Valdi-”glou”.
Terre Rouge Cotes L'Ouest Syrah, 2018 - $27.79
Syrahs from this California winery in the Sierra Foothills are always highly rated, made in a classic Rhone style and are a great value for the quality.
Wine Enthusiast - 93 Rating (4/1/2022)
This dense, concentrated and firmly tannic wine offers pure fruit flavors without a lot of obvious oak spices, so it delivers blackberries, blueberries and dark chocolate from first whiff to lingering finish. While delicious, it's also rather tight in texture and will certainly improve through 2028.

And Finally, I've been saving this little story for a week when I was away, a throw back to 2011 when my friend Linda quoted my weekly email in her blog:
From Linda's blog: I love a new small fish market right across the street from where we live. It's Kathleen's Catch. I was telling her that the majority of my blog views involve something to do with the Fifty Shades trilogy. I told her that in her weekly email, she needed to write something called Fifty Shades of Fish. Here it is:
"Although I am a serious book-reader, Fifty Shades of Grey is just not my cup of tea. However, since everyone else is on the 50 Shades bandwagon, Linda Caminiti thinks KC should climb on board too. So here goes, At Kathleen's Catch we offer 50 shades of fish and a lot of them are red-hot: The allure of our Atlantic Salmon beckons you. Our decadent King Salmon will entice you. The glistening, wild Sockeye Salmon will excite your culinary fantasies. The tantalizing Coho Salmon offers an all-natural experience and the dreamy Arctic Char combined with the smoking Smoked Salmon completes your dinner daydream. Spend a little time chatting with our flirty Hawaiian Garlic Salmon for an exotic and unforgettable conversation. Finish the experience with the delightfully satisfying Steelhead Trout. Who needs Fifty Shades of Grey when you can eat your way right through 50 shades of hot, steamy red fish."
Whew. I was a lot younger then. |
Blessings, Kathleen
