For the First Time Ever…Thanksgiving at Eddie V’s!

Last week I dined at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood restaurant’s Scottsdale Arizona location. Although Eddie V’s is very well known for their prime seafood, I decided to try out the steak. But not before trying the crab cakes.

Looking towards the bar and live music

First, I was pleasantly surprised by the setting. From the outside it’s easy to miss Eddie V’s, even if you’re looking for it. It is located on the very north east corner of Scottsdale Quarter, kind of in the back. From the outside it just looks like a concrete building with nice doors. But as soon as you walk in, a total transformation occurs. The atmosphere is definitely that of a restaurant that serves prime seafood and steak. The lighting is toned down, even a little dark but your eyes will soon adjust to it.

The glass walk thru wine cellar

There is a glass wine cellar that you walk through to get to one half of the restaurant. The other half of the restaurant is set up more like a wine bar, with live music at night.

The reason I was at Eddie V’s was to experience the dining firsthand so that I could tell you about something big that Eddie V’s is doing. For the first time ever, they will be open on Thanksgiving day, serving traditional Thanksgiving food!

This is what they’ll be serving:

Sliced Turkey

Homestyle Green Beans with Bacon

Brioche Stuffing

Glazed Acorn Squash

Pan Gravy with Mirepoix Brunoise

Cranberry Sauce

Mashed Potatoes

Turkey Gravy on the side

AND Thanksgiving Dessert! Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream and praline sauce

Call them right now to reserve your table as this will definitely sell out 480 730 4800

Back to my dining experience… I have to say, that without a doubt the giant crab cake I had was the best I have ever had. I consisted of ONLY crab meat and some seasoning. Just deliciously juicy crab meat, with a dipping sauce on the side. I was trying to save room for the steak, but I ended up eating the whole thing, and it’s not a small crab cake either.

I paired the crab cake with a glass of Chateau Montelena Chardonnay on the suggestion from managing partner, Richard Schumacher. Although I am quite capable of choosing my own wine, these days I’ve actually started making a habit of going on the recommendations of the people running the establishments I visit. Richard and I talked for a little while about the whole new idea of being open on Thanksgiving. Luckily for Eddie V’s their sister restaurant, Capital Grille has already done this once before and Richard was able to quiz them on what they learned. Turkey is not steak, you can’t just grille up more turkey, you have to plan half a day or more in advance to have enough food ready for all your guests. Richard is a friendly fellow and a true restaurant professional.

For steak I tried out both the 22 ounce bone in Rib eye and the New York Strip, both prime. Again on Richard’s recommendation I had a glass of Sequoia Grove 2010 Cabernet. The steak was awesome. I mean really awesome. The steak was sizzling hot and cooked perfectly medium rare just like I asked. The New York Strip was actually the best NY Strip I’ve ever had. Absolutely perfect, tender, juicy with a full robust flavor. I’m a steak connoisseur just like with wine, and I’ve eaten at Steakhouses all across the United States, and this was the best. Look for Eddie V’s to be in my “Best of 2014” list coming out at the end of the year. Hey, the Rib eye wasn’t bad either. Just kidding, it was awesome as well. I find that many times Rib eye’s can contain too many large fatty areas, leaving disconnected chunks of meat for you to dig through. Will the marbling in this particular Rib eye allowed me to eat everything except the bone. That’s perfect in my book.

One day I will have a wine cellar like this!

The Sequoia Grove Cabernet was a nice pairing as well. At $24 a glass it is the most expensive wine on the wine by the glass list. Luckily there are about 400 wines available by the bottle and the by the bottle prices are a lot more reasonable. Here’s some examples: B.R Cohen “Silver Label” Cabernet $52, Duckhorn Cabernet $75 and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars “Artemis” $99. Not bad for a prime restaurant, not bad at all.

Last but not least was dessert! Vanilla ice cream with chocolate cake just oozing with warm melting chocolate on the inside, and big enough for two.

Scottsdale’s Palm Court Restaurant receives Wine Spectator honors

Wine Spectator’s 2014 dining guide is a list of over 3,700 “restaurants for wine lovers”

I was recently invited to experience the Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center’s Palm Court Restaurant in light of their recent inclusion on the Wine Spectator list. In addition to receiving the basic award for having a good wine list Palm Court was noted for having a relatively inexpensive pricing structure. I was interested to see this first hand as one of my pet peeves (besides cheap stemware at a nice restaurant) is paying excessive wine markup at a nice restaurant.

The first thing you’ll notice about Palm Court, is that it can be a little bit tricky to find. It’s located on the 3rd floor of the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center, which is itself easy to miss. After turning down a small unassuming side street in central Scottsdale, suddenly there it is. This majestic little gem with the circular drive way, with valet service, a big ornamental fountain and palm trees with white Christmas lights.

I wandered around the property for a few minutes before heading to the restaurant. It felt a little like a time machine taking me back to the late ’70’s early ’80’s when I used to visit my grandparents at McCormick Ranch. There’s quite a few interesting architectural features to explore, I recommend spending a few minutes doing that before heading up to the restaurant.

The restaurant has a nice traditional feel to it, and open and airy atmosphere with nice big windows that allow diners to look out over the golf course and catch a sunset.

I had a chance to talk quite extensively with Ahdy Youssef, the assistant Maitre’D and Wine Steward. He’s a very friendly and warm guy who got his start 17 years ago as a bus boy in the restaurant. He worked his way up over the years and started getting very interested in wine some years back. He studied through the Society of Wine Educators program and achieved CWE (Certified Wine Educator) status about 5 years ago. He was hired by Mr Kwan, who has been working at The Palm Court for 21 years. The two of them together make a great team and compliment each other very well. Ahdy also studied with The San Francisco Wine school taking their CWAS course (which I completed this past August)

I asked Ahdy what his favorite wines were and he thought about it for a few seconds and then came back with a suggestion: Lancaster Estate Cabernet from Alexander Valley. He brought out the wine popped the cork and decanted it while Mr Kwan wheeled in a portable cooking station and prepared some gigantic prawns in a Reggiano parmesan risotto with parsley and diced tomato and Chardonnay sauce. Ahdy asked me what my all time favorite wine was and I replied “Chateau d’Yquem”

“We have that, by the glass” he smiled.

I don’t think I can recall any restaurant in Phoenix service Chateau d’Yquem by the glass. Priced at $38 a glass, that is very reasonable considering a half bottle (375ml) of the ’02 vintage they serve goes for $162 at Total Wine in Phoenix

I quickly looked up Lancaster on my phone and if you can get it, the ’09 cab will run you at least $75 a bottle. Palm Court price…$110. This is why they received that award from Wine Spectator. One of my pet peeves is paying excessive markup for wine in a fancy restaurant. It utterly ruins the evening for me. I always feel like I could have just stayed home grilled up a prime steak from Costco and spent the savings on some killer wine.

For dessert: Flourless chocolate cake

For dinner I chose the lamb, which was done quite well. Not too gamey. Although I don’t mind gamey lamb either. One thing to note about the menu: You’re not going to find the more chef driven style of food here. You’re going to find more of the French style of cuisine. The beef tenderloin is carved in half and drizzled with a red wine and béarnaise sauce. The potatoes are mashed with Gouda. You’re going to find a more traditional menu. Appetizers run in the $12-$15 range and main courses are in the $25-$40 range, which is quite reasonable for an establishment with AAA’s four diamond award.

After dinner I indulged in a glass of d’Yquem and I wasn’t disappointed. There’s a reason why Chateau d’Yqeum is nicknamed “Nectar of the Gods”, and Palm Court is the only place that I know of in the Phoenix area where you can find out why without having to buy a whole bottle.

Interview with wine negociant Cameron Hughes

If you’ve ever bought wine at Costco, you’ve most surely come across Cameron Hughes Wine Lot Series. Cameron has built a formidable brand out of rescuing high end “orphans” and repurposing them for the value driven consumer who appreciates high quality wine.

Cameron was recently in Scottsdale, Arizona for a wine dinner at Tommy V’s Urban Grille, with tickets being sold exclusively through select Costco’s. I managed to sit down with Cameron for a few minutes and asked him about his business model, production levels and future plans, as well has his prognostication for what wine region may be “hot” in 2013.

New Wines at Flemings steakhouse

The from inside the wine room looking out

Every September Flemings prime steakhouse & wine bar introduces a plethora of new wines to their already robust wine list. Flemings boasts 100 wines by glass and this year they added or changed out over 60 new wines (too many to list here). I had the pleasure of dining at Flemings this October to re-familiarize myself with their wine list and also re-sample their fabulous Prime steak!

After a quick peruse of the menu my guest and I settled on the “wicked Cajun shrimp” appetizer which consisted of lightly breaded shrimp in a spicy creamy sauce. Of course, the fresh baked bread and butter came along as well. We were careful not to fill up on bread because as anyone who frequents a prime steakhouse knows, you have to save space for that steak!

Robert Craig Winery’s “Affinity” is one of the wines you will find on the reserve wine list, one of my favorite!

I ordered the Filet Mignon. The most tender of all steaks. When ordering we asked our server to what extent a medium rare was medium rare. She explained that if I normally enjoyed medium rare, then tonight I would probably enjoy medium rare plus. I’m pretty sure if you order medium rare plus at most steak houses they’ll say “plus what? plus a baked potato?”

I have to say, and this is not because the meal was complimentary*, THIS was the best tasting steak I’d eaten all year. And I eat a lot of steak. Just slightly crisped on the outside, juicy pink on the inside, still on the rare side, but not blue or cool on the interior, just absolutely perfect!

To compliment the steak, I had to choose a wine. With 100 wines by the glass to choose from this because a difficult task. Once again our server came to the rescue and recommend a wine flight. Any 3 of the 100 wines by the glass can be on the wine flight. So I chose Kelly Fleming’s Napa Valley cabernet, Ladera Napa Valley and Hall Napa Valley.

Kelly Fleming, wife of Paul Fleming-founder of Flemings and PF Changs, made a really nice cabernet. It was the ripest and smoothest of the three. Next up was the Ladera, 2009 Napa Valley. Ladera’s Howell Mountain Cabernet is one of my favorite and I was interested to see how their Napa Valley selection compared. Well it stood up just fine. Not as much of the tart rich mountain fruit as their Howell Mountain offering – much more of the ripe valley floor, and classic “napa earth”. It’s difficult to describe this, when I’m not actually a “professional” wine writer, but it’s just something you’ll know after you’ve experienced enough Napa cabernets. You put your nose in the glass, and you immediately know you’re in Napa.

Me: too full to order desert

The Hall 2009 Napa Valley, was the biggest and boldest of the three. Which by the time I was halfway through my steak and sautéed mushrooms was exactly what I needed. This wine powered through everything and excited my already overloaded palate. Rich, smooth, intense cocoa, casis and spice, I would say this wine is a great value even at restaurant prices.

Once again, a visit to Flemings never disappoints, the only disappointing thing was not having enough room to enjoy desert!

North Scottsdale gas station opens wine bar

I was recently invited to attend a wine tasting at a gas station. I had to re-read the invitation to make sure I had read it right. Yes, a gas station in North Scottsdale has a wine bar!

It looks like a gas station, but inside its oh so much more!

I arrived at the address I was given (right next to the Ice Den), and yes, it looked like a gas station, albeit a nice clean gas station with a large office type building behind it. From the outside you would never expect what awaits you on the inside.

Once inside, I immediately realized that this wine bar thing was the real deal. I was half expecting large bottles of cheap wine being served in red plastic cups, but that was not the case.

I was greeted by Chuck Hesson, the market’s on staff Sommelier. After introductions Chuck took me on a quick tour. Chuck is a bona fide Som, Level II WSET. Chuck is from Texas originally and comes to Arizona by way of the Willamette Valley in Oregon. It was in Texas about 25 years ago that he met chef Tudie Frank-Johnson. Tudie is the award winning chef and Southern BBQ specialist who runs the Campfire Bistro at Tom’s Thumb. Tudie recently took home top honors at the ABC channel 15 Sonoran Living BBQ challenge.

There is a wine department in the market with a decent selection of wines. There is a good mix between big brands and lesser knowns. There is also a very good Arizona wine selection. I was quite surprised to see harder to find AZ Wines such as Page Springs Cellars SMGp, Caduceus Anubis and Dos Cabezas “Pink”

On our way to the wine tasting table we passed by the Gluten Free section. I know this is a wine blog, but as a gluten free person I am always happy to see the trend gaining popularity. The wine tasting table, is located in the back of the market, it’s private and quite, and the table offers a nice setting.

After the tour, Chuck treated me to some Southern Style BBQ. He brought out an assortment of chicken, steak and pulled pork with 4 sauces (all gluten free and made by Tudie) He poured a couple glasses of wine to sample as well. First thing I noticed is THE APPROPRIATE STEMWARE! Even though the glasses were stemless, they were of sufficient size to properly swirl and sniff the wine. One of my biggest pet peeves is crappy stemware.

I sampled A to Z Pinot Gris from Oregon. This wine is made by Rex Hill’s William Hatcher and it was a very nice summer wine, and for only $13 a bottle I will have to take a detour off the 101 Pima Freeway and grab a bottle or two.

This summer the market is hosting some wine and craft beer tastings and educating customers on pairings with BBQ food. Check with them for time and dates.

As I was leaving I thought to myself, they really ought to market this place as a Gourmet bbq and wine bar with a gas station instead of the other way around!

Have you been to Tom’s Thumb? Have you found wine bars in any unlikely locations?

Restaurant Review | An Evening at Scottsdale’s Cask 63

Fine wine and dining experiences come in many forms, from cozy home-like settings to fresh and fancy urban settings. Cask 63, located in Scottsdale’s Gainey Ranch district, is the later. The owners of Cask 63 American Eatery and Wine Bar purchased an existing restaurant from Fox Restaurants Concepts in late 2011, quickly reworked the menu and restaurant and had it up and running by January 2012.
The mood of the restaurant is modern and hip, and minimalist, which helps keep your attention on the amazing food created by Brian Feirstein, co owner and executive chef. During my dining experience I was visited by General Manager and Owner Jerry Tingle and we chatted for a while about how Cask 63 came to be and about what they are attempting to achieve. One of the interesting things to note, is that although the restaurant has it’s own vision and concept of what it wants to be, Jerry and Brian are very much in tune with what their customers want. Jerry can be found mingling with customers most nights, searching for suggestions on ways to improve the experience. I find it a nice touch when the owner visits your table and asks for your opinion on things.

For an appetizer I had oysters of the day paired with Perrier Jouet Champagne. For a main course I had Australian lamb chops. These were double bone-in, which gives you a much bigger juicier portion than single bone. As a fan of lamb, and all grilled meats, I have to say this was one of the best incarnations of this dish I have ever had. Although I do like ‘gamey” tasting lamb dishes, this dish was not gamey and I could have easily mistook it for beef. It was delicious. I paired this with a rather unusual wine…Vall Llach Embruix – Priorat from Spain. This was a very interesting wine. It was described to me as the perfect wine for people who like Cabernet, Zinfandel and Merlot. Full bodied, smooth, with dark ripe fruit and hints of spice.

As far as the wine goes at Cask 63, you will find many of the standard high end favorites that seem to be prerequisites at wine bars seeking to endear themselves to wine aficionados. You will find all the well known Napa greats like Silver Oak, Caymus, Far Niente, and Joseph Phelps Insignia. I was happy to see some of my favorite and less well known wines including Ladera Howell Mountain and Justin Isosceles. Including bubbles the wine list boasts almost 100 names varying in price from $7.50 a glass all the way up to Hundred Acre’s Kayle Morgan Vineyard for $490 a bottle.

Learning about wine | Christine Slomski

Christine Slomski

I recently became acquainted with Christine Slomski through the wonders of the Twitter machine and she expressed an interest in writing and learning about wine. I decided to invite her and a friend down to my favorite little wine hangout on a Thursday night as they were having an interesting tasting featuring an all star list of Organic Wines. First a little bit about Christine: She is a branding and marketing professional based in Phoenix, Arizona. She is a self-described “wine novice”, but is eager to expand her knowledgebase—and her palate. Here is her impression of the evening:

Arizona Wine Company holds wine tasting events each Thursday, and on March 10, I got my first taste of this tucked away strip mall treasure in Scottsdale. This particular event featured some fantastic California wines, soulful acoustic music, five-star food, and an overall delightful setting for intimate conversation and Wine Country exploration.

My favorite selection of the night was a smooth Dos Fincas Malbec, which tantalized my palate with subtle flavors of plum, raspberry and red spice—the magic elixir I had been waiting for all evening! To add to the experience, I ordered from Atlas Bistro, the small five-star (and Zagat-rated) restaurant hidden in the Wilshire Plaza next to Arizona Wine Company. Chefs Brandon Crouser and Joshua Riesner run the bistro and put me over the moon with a roasted quail entrée (at times I had to block out the images of the little quails I see scurrying across residential streets, but I managed), served alongside spicy mizuna greens and smoky lentils, laced with a sherry reduction sauce. To my surprise, a robust cheese board put together by Chef Joshua was brought out, displaying a variety of goat, cow, sheep and water buffalo cheeses (they say you can milk anything with nipples, right?). Being lactose intolerant my whole life, I was surprised to learn that most aged cheeses are lactose free. With this news, I of course tried every single one. True to Chef Joshua’s knowledge, I awoke the next morning with no symptoms of my allergy. I could get used this!

With wine in one hand and cheese in the other, my companions and I finished the evening listening to the acoustic guitarists gathered in the corner lounge, jamming to improvisation cover songs and original sounds. “It doesn’t get any more intimate than this,” said one of my friends. My eyes spanned the room; I took a sip of my wine; I felt the moment. And true to his point, it really didn’t get any more intimate or any more authentic than the people, the sounds, and the tastes in that room.
