Dear Fellow Foodservice Professional,

A well-attended International Restaurant & Foodservice Show in New York left us with an upbeat feeling, as a positive vibe oozed through the crowd.  Folks there were  tired of cabin-fever.  The camaraderie (of those of us who have survived the downturn) permeated the throng.  The new new-economy seems to be upon us.

Book Review - "Ancient Wine"
by Joe Ferri

 

 

Ancient Wine - The Search for the Origins on Viniculture reads as an intriguing journey, guided by molecular biologist Patrick E. McGovern from the New Stone Age to the dawn of Western Civilization.  The author, while pointing up the evidence of wine culture in pre-history,  shares with us both his field  and gustatory experiences  from around the globe.  Utilizing modern chemical analysis, linguistic evidence, and the entire arsenal of investigatory sciences that have blossomed in the last decade, the author allows us to accompany him on a adventure from wine’s beginnings in the Caucasus in the East through its spread West, North and South.

Mondegreens

 

 

Mondegreens are a sort of aural malapropism. Instead of saying the wrong word, you hear the wrong word. The word mondegreen is generally used for misheard song lyrics, although technically it can apply to any speech.
