#717-Northwest Gems
King Estate Wine/Northwest
Pear Bureau |
It’s been awhile since I’ve been back
to the Pacific Northwest, and after this trip I was
wondering what the heck took me so long. Beautiful
and delicious, this is a great part of the country. In
Oregon, I had the good fortune of sampling the wines
of King Estate, some of the finest in the state. From
Pinot Noir to Pinot Gris, the wines of King Estate
are true expressions of terroir. Up in
Washington State, my focus turns to pears. The
best pears in the world come from this part of the
country, and I’ll take you inside the harvest,
and give you some ideas for creating culinary classics
with these Northwest beauties. Pinot
and Pears-quite the combination! |

#718-Ontario
Fine Wine-Super Spirit-Canadian
Mist Whiskey-Prince Edward County |
The spirits clearly moved me in this program,
where my travels take me to Ontario and Mexico for
two very different, but very delicious, spirits experiences. First,
Collingwood, Ontario, the home of Canadian Mist Whiskey. I’ll
visit the distillery with Master Distiller Harold
Ferguson, and mix up some incredible cocktails with
Chief Cocktail Officer Tim Laid. Later,
I’ll head to Prince Edward County-one of Ontarios
up and coming wine and food regions. There,
I’ll introduce you to the world’s most
unique hot dog-Buddha Dog, some of the best hard
cider you’ll ever taste, and the county’s
oldest, and perhaps best, winery. Don’t
miss this visit to Ontario only on Culinary Travels
with Dave Eckert! |

#719-Tuscan Travels
|
I can’t think of many places I enjoy visiting
more than Tuscany. With incredible wines,
fantastic cuisine, and a history so rich you can
cut it with a knife, Tuscany is the perfect place
for a show like mine. Come along as I
explore the great Tuscan wines of DaVinci. Produced
by a collection of growers featuring their finest
vineyards and grapes, DaVinci’s wines are efforts
with real Tuscan soul. I’ll pair
them with cuisine, show you where they come from
and how they’re made, and of course, do my
share of tasting.
Whether you’ve been to Tuscany or not, this show
will make you feel as though you have. |

#720-On The Boardwalk
Atlantic City |
Taking a page from Las Vegas, Atlantic City has
upped with ante with regards to its dining scene. This
program focuses on the newest addition-a tremendous
upscale shopping and dining development known as
The Pier at Caesars Palace. Focusing
on well-known Philadelphia restaurants, The Pier
at Caesars is giving Atlantic City visitors a myriad
of options for fine dining. I’ll
take you inside The Pier and its restaurants, and
show you a side of Atlantic City you might not have
known existed. |
