F: Is for Food that cleanses the Palate






















Tis the season to write my list for the 24 most have items. Last year I named 12 but this year, I have so many to put on my list that I need all 24 days. The first item to make it is one I named last year. I went to a performance for a show called "Lamppost Reunion" which was also a benefit for "Books For Kids" and at the after party, there it was being served and it brought back all the reasons I loved it in the 1st place. It answers the question of what do I bring to show my hosts I care, as well as how do you cleanse you palate in between those courses to savor the next item? How do you end a perfect meal?

#1: Wine Cellar Sorbet

The flavors: Three reds: a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from California, a 2005 Pinot Noir from New York and a non-vintage Sangria from Spain, Two whites: a a non-vintage Champagne from California and a 2004 Riesling from New York and one blush wine: a non-vintage Rosé from New York. This is definitely not a dessert you send a kid out for. As a matter of F.A.C.T. you have to be at least 21 for their alcohol, content is up to 5% by volume. Since wine changes with each passing season, so do their sorbets. Based on the vintages, varietals and viticulture regions from where the wines were produced. Therefore each flavor is truly unique and limited in availability. It as dairy free, soy free, trans-fat and gluten free.

It is a F.A.C.T. that this new and soothing taste treat will be accompanying me to a dinner party in the future. I highly recommend the Sangria and Champagne.
