Kate Chomko has always been a food addict. It took moving to Belgium and experiencing the “quality food” in Europe to inspire her to pursue her aspiration of becoming a chef. “I was hooked and ate my way through Europe,” Chomko said. “The fish, fruit and vegetable markets, bread, wine - every day was a feast.” My favorite varietal is pinot noirI am often asked what my favorite type of wine is. I used to say red Burgundy. I now add there are many California and Oregon pinot noirs close to being in the same league as Burgundy. If you are confused, Burgundy is a generic term used in the United States; any red wine blend can be in a bottle of Burgundy. Gallo’s hearty Burgundy was always a good buy; we just didn’t know what was in the bottle. French red Burgundy is made only from the pinot noir grape from the Burgundy region of France. The same pinot noir grape is used in the United States. Out of respect for the Burgundian winemakers and to avoid confusion, we call the wine, pinot noir, as the grapes are not grown in Burgundy. |
In Our OpinionEditorialWe’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do. There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out. |
