Shrimps and herbs spaghetti with final Sicilian touch
Posted on Wednesday 22nd of July 2009 under Food and Drink | Recipes | Wine
This is a quick, easy, great recipe with simple ingredients for a Sicilian style light summer dinner. It is perfect when you are having friends over after a day at work or at the end of a hot day spent sunbathing at the beach. The ingredients are shrimps, fresh spaghetti or tagliolini, parsley, lemon thyme, toasted bread crumbs and extra virgin olive oil. You sauté the shrimps in little olive oil and set aside, be careful not to overcook them. Then prepare a cold sauce with extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley and lemon thyme.
A visit at Felice's
Posted on Thursday 26th of April 2007 under History | Journeys | Wine
Our cookery season is back on track and the first course is near its end. A wonderful bunch of people that truly enjoy cooking, wine and taking in everything Sicily has to offer.
One of our stops was at the Felice Modica estate - an up and coming winery with very promising Nero d'Avola DOC wine with wonderful reviews from both Gambero Rossi and the Veronelli Guide.
Oh my... COS!

It's the 13th of April already and that means Wine Blogging Wednesday time. We are the host and naturally the topic is Sicilian wines, red wines to be precise. We already have at least a dozen entries which we will present tomorrow, but for now we focus on our wine.
San Martinu - tasting the new wines
Posted on Wednesday 10th of November 2004 under Food and Drink | Wine
The Sicilian calendar is marked by the succession of special events, celebrations, holidays - fixed appointments that shape life on the island.
We just talked of the celebration of the 2nd of November and the "iuorno dei muorti", but this occasion is immediately followed by another special day - San Martino, on the 11th of November.
Noto wine gets recognition
Posted on Sunday 04th of July 2004 under Food and Drink | Wine
The Telegraph, a well-respected UK newspaper, is featuring a wine from Noto as their Wine of the Week. The wine is the Santa Cecilia 2001, a product of the Planeta wineries. It is made entirely with Nero d'Avola. Fifty percent of the grapes come from the Dispensa vineyard in Menfi, while the other fifty percent comes from the Buonivini estate in Noto. According to The Telegraph the wine is "packed with aromatic, juicy red and black fruit with spicy hints of liquorice and cinammon".
