What Should you Drink with Your Sri Lankan Food?

I would like to invite you to share in the fun and check out my new blog covering the Mid Market Area. The neighborhood is exploding with new restaurants, including a Sri Lankan one, which I will review next week. A dish of 1601′s picked vegetables are pictured here:Picture courtesy of 1601 Bar & Kitchen.

The area is exploding with new construction as companies like Square, Twitter and Kings Lane move into the area. It is slated to be home to new restaurants from the AQ and Daniel Patterson group as well.

I will reveal some great pairings for Sri Lankan dishes in my next post.

Where to Get Great Coffee, and Coffee-based Cocktails, in SF

liza — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:03:31 +0000

Here’s a teaser from my new coffee-cocktail and local coffee spots’ post:

“Drinks, such as the classic Irish coffee served at the Buena Vista Café, have long been legendary in San Francisco. The historic bar still serves them up on chilly nights and warm days.”

It also heralds the start of a great new blog that I am writing for the Mid Market Area. Lots of great food, wine and culture stories about the great city of SF will be posted here, three times a week in the months to come.

I bet you always thought beer was best with Indian, Korean or Thai. Let me prove you wrong during this interactive tasting at local, iconic SF wine merchant K&L on Thursday April 11th from 5 to 6:30pm.

Please join me at some of these upcoming events and please let me know what you think of my new website design at www.lizathewinechick.com. Thanks!

The Old World wine lineup is changing and you will want to get a taste of it. Join noted journalist and wine educator Liza the Wine Chick as she pours a handful of unique wines including two dynamic Sicilians: Donnafugata Lighea and Tancredi; as well as another classic Tuscan (I will leave you guessing).

There is a wine match made in heaven for every dish out there. Beer may be beautiful with Indian, Turkish and Chinese food but so can the right wine.The wines will be served with a selection of ethnic nibbles and spices.

BIN 38
