Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome. This is Connoisseru's corner. This is Jordan Rich and
joining me. Ken Hoggins, one of our wine go to
guys with his website Ken'swineguide dot com. We had so
much fun talking about Thanksgiving wines, we thought we'd bring
it back for part two. And you've got some more suggestions.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, we're gonna start with the Ziada twenty twenty three
savignon blanc from NAPA for thirty five dollars. This is
my favorite savignon blanc and you don't necessarily think of
savignon blanc for Thanksgiving, but I really liked it, and
I think you're going to too. Nicely balanced, smooth, graceful
and seamless. Some passion fruit and poach pear flavors in there.
Pretty complex wine, and it'd be an excellent why I

(00:40):
originally paired it with Zuni Cafes roast chicken, so it
would be perfect for turkey.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Anything's perfect with turkey. Let's go with a second choice
for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
The twenty twenty two Flan against Sonoma Coast Peano no Wire.
It's medium bodied, nicely balanced, smooth, a little rich, tasty,
black raspberry and loam and cinnamon flavors. There some hints
of stewed plumb and cedar flavors, and acidity are nicely sustained.
Tasting panels scored this and excellent ninety four points. And
if you love pinot wa it's your Thanksgiving dinner. You

(01:11):
can't go wrong with us when it's going to go
well with all that stuffing and fixings and the cranberry
and the whole.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Deal making me very hungry, and it's coming up Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Ken Hoggins, Ken'swineguide dot com. All part of

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
