From http://www.kysela.com/spain/Moral.htm :

Trader Joe's:

By http://www.eov.cl/

More on the grape at wikipedia, and via JasonsWineBlog.com:

"Per quaffability “Carmenere is more obscure than the fifth Beatle. The sixth grape of the famed five Bordeaux varietals, usually compared to Petit Verdot for the sturdy qualities it adds to Cabernet blends, Carmenere is not even grown in Bordeaux anymore. It does have a new home in Chile, where it’s blended into Cabernet and also bottled solo on occasion and noted for its smoky/earthy flavor profiles."

The South by SouthWestern Enchilada (with Verde Foam)

Posted Sat, 01/22/2011 - 19:46 by Jon

This is a tribute to the Southwestern Enchilada at Chuy's, with a twist of classic Mexico add on - hence - the South by SouthWestern stacked enchilada. It is also the ultimate recipe to use up the leftover yummies from a week of Mexico/TexMex eating. Random weird elements from that mole recipe? Let's find a place for it. Make some verde sauce from those lonely leftover tomatillos, and you're on your way.

Per Enchilada:
2-3 corn tortillas
1 egg
1 Tbsp crema
1/2 cup chicken, partially shredded - dark meat preferred
1/4 cup salsa verde

Burgo Viejo Rioja

Posted Sun, 04/18/2010 - 13:06 by Jon

Trader Joe's:

Joe and Erin found this at Marvelous Market, it's a surprisingly rich and strong Rioja that isn't overpowering. 85% tempranillo, 10% garnacha and 5% mazuelo.

http://www.burgoviejo.com/

"Our queen is the varietal Tempranillo, flagship of Rioja, but we do not forget other autochthonous such as Graciano, Grenache, Carignan or Viura, that complete the palette with their special features."

Guinness Cottage Pie

This is an abomination, mixing in Guinness into a cottage pie.

The Guinness stew recipe parts are pulled from this recipe; the Shepherd's (lamb) and Cottage pie ingredients have been pulled from here and Epicurious. Cooking for Engineers has a nice pictoral guide.
