A nice image (taken by Jon Stamell) from a seminar called “Remarkable Pairings: Fast, Casual Mexican and the Wines of Rioja,” which I had the distinct pleasure of co-presenting with Chef Rick Bayless last month at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone’s Worlds of Flavor Conference in St. Helena, California. More comments and photos from this event—perhaps even some video—will appear later this week.
