Sub-Zero Dream Kitchen Up For Grabs

Filed under: Dining, Wine


While the phrase "Enter to win!" is often accompanied by eyerolling and a lesson in probability, when it comes to the 2008 Sub-Zero Dream Kitchen -- and dreamy it is, complete with sleek sub-zero fridge, freeze and wine storage alongside $2,000 worth of gourmet goodies from Dean & Deluca, Wolf dual range, Kohler kitchen gear ... the list goes on -- the words just may inspire a foodie frenzy. Until July 31, enter here if you aspire to cook and entertain in this kitchen-for-the-gods (did we mention ambrosia flows freely from those Kohler products? And there is a subscription to the Windsor Sonoma Wine Club?). Winners of the $50,000 in kitchen booty will be notified August 3. I hope I'm invited to your first dinner party.

Dry Soda

Filed under: Dining

Dry Soda is a soda for foodies, the carbonated equivalent of a fine wine. Or, at least, it wants to be. The all-natural, lightly sweetened sodas come in unique flavors that are meant to compliment foods. There are four flavors, Kumquat, Lavender, Lemongrass and Rhubarb. Suggested pairings include:

  • Kumquat -- clean citrusy flavor with a high acidity. Versatile and pairs well with salmon, white fish, risotto, duck, sweet leafy greens and oysters.
  • Lavender -- lively with a lavender flavor and low acidity. Pairs well with cheeses, pork, desserts and chocolate.
  • Rhubarb -- fruity and tart with a high acidity and tartness. Bold, bright flavor pairs well with veal, cassoulet, red meats (including hamburgers) and winter vegetables.
  • Lemongrass -- bright, floral and grassy, with a medium acidity. Pairs well with Asian-inspired foods, spicy dishes, sushi, goat cheese and asparagus.

The sodas range from 50-70 calories per bottle, so they could serve as an alternative to wine for those who want to watch their calories as well as their alcohol intake. Price: $25 per dozen.
