RICO COOKS YEMISTA AND REVIEWS CHENIN BLANC
Welcome back to another of our cook & wine review videos. Today I cook 'Yemista' which are basically vegetables stuffed with mince & rice. This is a popular meal in the eastern Mediterranean and I use flavours which are favoured in Cyprus.
I stuff courgettes, onions, bell peppers & tomatoes flavoured with ground beef, rice & onion flavoured with mint, cinnamon & parsley and pair this with a South African Chenin Blanc.
Th wine is from the Swartland which is a region in the Western Cape
Province some 25miles north of Cape Town. It has become the second most exciting and innovating wine region in South Africa only second to Stellenbosch. The area predominantly grows Chenin Blanc & Syrah(Shiraz).
The Chenin Blanc I chose today is the Kumala Reserve Chenin Blanc. The word 'Kumala' derives from local dialect meaning to do things differently.
The wineries note on the label states... WERE KUMALA AND WERE SOUTH AFRICAN. A PROUD NATION THATS ALL ABOUT VARIETY.
The wine did not disappoint and complimented the meal perfectly.

Wine Pairing 101: A Guide to Thanksgiving Wines with Gordon Sullivan ’73 and Logan Sweet ’15
In this conversation between a wine educator and an enthusiast, Gordon Sullivan '73 and Logan Sweet '15 describe the qualities and characteristics someone should look for when tasting wine, and then explain how to apply its flavor profile to pair it with food. Finally, they explore wine choices that pair well with traditional Thanksgiving meals, like Beaujolais, Brut Rosé, Chardonnay, Côtes du Rhône, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Sancerre.
Sullivan, a certified sommelier and president of Sullivan Wine Consulting, has worked in the wine industry for 47 years. His roles have spanned from chief sommelier at The Breakers Palm Beach to fine wine consultant and luxury brand manager for Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits – the largest wine distributor in the country. He is a partner at two wineries in Tuscany, Italy, and the author of an upcoming book on wine education.
Sweet found a passion for wine while working in the Finger Lakes American Viticultural Area, a burgeoning wine region located in Upstate New York. His connection to several growers and winemakers in the Seneca Lake Viticultural Area led to his interest in small-scale producers and up-and-coming American wine regions.
