2011 Bordeaux Harvest, Marquis d?Alesme, Tannin in Margaux

2011 Bordeaux has a high level of color and tannin. We need to retain the richness to create a fleshy, well balanced wine. Along with a slow, cooler extraction, we?ll also modify our barrel ageing program to help reach this target.

Washington Wine Lovers: Vote ?Yes? on I-1183

As Yogi Berra once said, it?s déjà vu all over again. About a year ago, I wrote a similar post recommending a ?yes? vote on I-1100. Now we have I-1183 on the ballot, and some of you are asking for our thoughts and recommendation again. While the two initiatives have a similar primary objective of [...]

Which Food is Most Likely to Make You Sick?

Photo: Alamy

Anyone who has ever tangled with food poisoning knows it's nothing to fool around with. But it's often difficult to nail down what, exactly, made you sick.

A new report from the University of Florida Emerging Pathogens Institute points the finger in one clear direction: poultry. Birds contaminated with Campylobacter bacteria is the food-pathogen combination that causes the highest number of illnesses in the U.S. Just how many people fall victim? More than 600,000 people a year.

The top five illness-causing pathogens -- Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Toxoplasma gondii and norovirus -- cause $12.7 billion in economic losses each year, with the top 10 pathogen-food combinations accounting for more than $8 billion a year, according to the report. (Lost productivity, medical care and serious complications or chronic disabilities associated with the illness are all factored together to come up with these figures.)

So enjoy your grilled chicken this summer -- just invest in a meat thermometer and make sure you see 165 degrees on it before you begin your feast.
