New Year’s Resolutions
Are you making any resolutions this year? This January 1st marks the beginning of a new year AND a new decade, so it can be a time to take stock, get inspired and make a plan. Here’s how to identify the right resolution to improve a specific part of your life, and make a plan on how to reach it. When considering any life changes, whether big or small, your goals should be always be smart — and S.M.A.R.T. This acronym was coined in the journal Management Review in 1981 for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It may work for business, but it can also be helpful in setting your personal resolutions, too. Be Specific. Your resolution should be abso- lutely clear. Instead of a vague goal like “I want to cut down on social media time”, you could say “I will cut my social media time down to ½ an hour a day”. Be sure your goals are limited in their scope and unambiguous in their meaning. Make it Measurable. This one’s easy if your goal is a fitness or weight loss related, but it should apply to other goals as well. Find a way to measure your success; start filling up a jar with the cash you would otherwise spend on fast food, or start a journal logging your exercise. Measuring and documenting your
successes can help you track and and reinforce your progress, no matter what your resolution might be. Be sure it’s Achievable. Trying to take big steps too fast can leave you frustrated or overwhelm you to the point that your resolution takes over your life. Be realistic in your plans; if you’ve never been to the gym before, suddenly going 5 times a week is a big change to make very suddenly. Start small and then work your way up to those big goals. Create goals that are Relevant. Be sure to set goals because they really matter to you, not because someone else wants it or because society wants you to change. If you want to make changes out of desperation or because of a moment of passion, you might not be as motivated to follow through. Make your goals Time-bound. The timeline you set for reaching your goal should be realistic but firm, so give yourself enough time to get there. Try setting up some smaller intermediate goalposts along the way and focus on these small wins so you can make gradual progress over a set amount of time. Whatever your goals for the new year and new decade, be kind to yourself, be patient and stay positive. Happy New Year!

Finca Antigua Crianza 21.49 R0212Z, 750 mL La Mancha, Spain $
07677Z, 750 mL California, USA $
TASTINGNOTES
TASTINGNOTES Finca Antigua vineyard is situated in the center of Spain at 900 meters of altitude and divided into 40 plots of different vines. The wine is a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 10% Syrah. The blend is fermented in stainless steel, temperature-controlled vats and macerated for 18 days, then aged in American and French oak for 14 months. On the nose mint and mineral aromas, with hints of yoghurt. Its ageing in oak lends it nuances of spice (nutmeg, clove and tobacco). As well as in the nose, it also brings out a smooth creaminess, with a full body. The finish is long and creamy. Ideal as an accompaniment to Italian rice and pasta dishes.
TASTINGNOTES
Three Thieves is the story of three rogue wine lovers whose 20-year kinship was sparked by a shared desire to make uncommon wine to be shared by all. Joel Gott, Charles Bieler and Roger Scommegna were the gentlemen. The Thieves believe that a great Pinot Noir is a reward unto itself. To craft a wine that showcases the varietal’s most beautiful qualities, the wine is gently fermented and infused with a touch of French and American oak to lend body and support to the bright cherry and berry flavours. For additional structure, a small amount of Syrah and Petite Sirah were included in the blend. Beautiful violet and fresh cherry aromas lead to raspberry and juicy flavours with hints of berry jam and toasty oak on the palate. This medium- bodied Pinot Noir is a fruity wine with a silky texture . Serve with roast chicken, salmon or beef bourguignon.
Wolfberger is a union of producers located in Eguishein, in Alsace, France. The winery was founded in 1902 when a group of wine-growers decided to join forces to create one of the first co-operatives in Alsace. Made from 100% Gewurztraminer, the wine is a feast for the senses with rose petal, peach and honeysuckle aromas. The wine is a beautiful golden pale yellow. Wolfberger has subtle notes of exotic fruits (mango and passion fruit). Soft and light on the palate, Gewurztraminer has a fresh aroma and a tingle of sweetness (similar to lychee). Pair with Thai or Asian Food.

TASTINGNOTES
TASTINGNOTES
Set in the midst of the unique Australian landscape in the city of Griffin is the McWilliam’s Winery, established in 1917. McWilliam’s has created this complex Shiraz using premium grapes from some of South Eastern Australia’s most renowned wine regions. This wine is vibrant crimson in color, with layers of plum and raspberry fruit flavours. The use of American and French oak delivers subtle vanilla overtones with a hint of spice on the finish. The perfect
The Chianti Classico grape growing region that is home to Aziano is a small and scenic part of Tuscany stretching from south of Florence to the north of Siena. The history of winemaking is particularly ancient here. The earliest document linking Chianti to the area is dated 1398. Classico means original or first. The grapes for Aziano come from the Chianti Classico region. Fermentation, aided by racking and punch-downs, takes place in thermo-controlled stainless steel vats. Once malolactic fermentation is complete to add to the wine’s smooth, round character it is aged for 11 months in stainless steel and concrete vats with an additional four months in the bottle before release. The Sangiovese-based wines of the Chianti Classico regions are characterized by notes of sweet violet, red berries, and wild cherries with slightly sweet undertones. Fruity and harmonious, this wine reveals velvety tannins and an elegant texture. Chianti Classico is versatile and food friendly, pairing well with a variety of dishes including veal, grilled chicken or penne with tomatoes.
accompaniment to roasted lamb, grilled steaks or barbecued ribs.

RECIPES
TACO NIGHT
Homemade Corn Tortillas From page 12 Makes about 12 x 6 inch tortillas 2 cups masa harina 1 ½ cups hot water, more if needed ½ tsp salt 1 Tbsp canola oil
Cilantro Lime Rice with Black Beans From page 11 Serves 8-10
1 ½ cups canned tomatoes 1 medium white onion 2 medium jalapenos, minced 4 minced garlic cloves
Directions: In a large bowl, mix salt and masa harina together. Pour 1 1/2 cups of hot water, the oil and salt into the dough and mix with a spoon or your hand to form a big ball. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If the mixture is too dry and it needs some more water, add it in small amounts until dough is the right consistency. Cover the bowl with plastic and let the dough rest for about an hour. Preheat a griddle or large frying pan on medi- um-high heat. Pinch off a golf-ball sized piece of masa dough and form it into a ball by rolling it in a circular motion in the palm of your hand. Put the masa ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap, parchment or wax paper and flatten it using the tortilla press or rolling pin. Gently remove the flattened masa from the plastic wrap and cook on the hot griddle for about 30 sec- onds to 1 minute, depending on how hot the surface of the griddle is. You want the tortilla to have beau- tiful brown marks. Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. The tortilla may start to puff up in the middle; that’s okay! Remove the tortilla and place it between a cloth napkin to keep it warm, then repeat.
1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chili powder 2 cups long grain white rice 1⁄3 cup canola oil 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
Blackened Halibut Tacos From page 10 Serves 8-10
For the blackening spice (makes extra) 1 1/2 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp garlic powder 1 Tbsp onion powder
Directions: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350F. Process tomato and onion in processor or blender until pureed and thoroughly smooth. Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear- about 2 minutes. Shake rice vigorously to remove excess water (this step removes the starch from the rice so it won’t be too sticky). Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven with tight fitting lid over low-medium heat about 2 minutes. Add the rice and fry, stirring until rice is light golden and translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, spices and minced jalapenos and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in broth, pureed mixture, beans and salt. In- crease heat to medium high, and bring to a boil. Cover pan tightly and transfer pan to oven to bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 30-35 minutes. Serve potatoes immediately, drizzled with olive oil mixture and topped with a dollop of sour cream.
1 Tbsp ground dried thyme 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano
For the fish: 2 lbs fresh halibut filets, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 Tbsp blackening spice mixture
Salt and pepper 1 Tbsp canola oil Corn tortillas Shredded green cabbage Spicy mayo Lime wedges
Directions: Combine the ingredients for the blackening spice in a small bowl, reserve 2 Tbsp and set aside the rest. Coat the fish evenly with the spice mixture and season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish to the hot pan and cook until dark brown on all sides. Remove from pan and cover with foil to keep warm. To build the tacos, add some cabbage to each tortilla, then add the cooked fish, top with spicy mayo and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy right away.

For the pork: 1 medium onion, chopped 3 pounds boneless pork butt (shoulder), rind removed, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 Tbsp Kosher salt 1 large onion, sliced thinly 1 medium orange, cut into quarters 6 cloves garlic, chopped 1 Tbsp dried oregano 1 Tbsp chili powder 2 bay leaves 1 cinnamon stick, broken into three or four pieces
Beef Short Rib Osso Bucco From page 19 Serves 2-3
ments (save the pulpy leftovers) 1 bunch radishes, sliced very thinly 2 handfuls of baby arugula 2 Tbsp olive oil Sea salt and black pepper
6 beef short ribs, about 2 inches long, cut into individual ribs Salt and pepper 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 carrots, diced 1 celery ribs, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 cups dry red wine 1 cups rich beef broth 1/2 can diced tomatoes, drained 2 bay leaves ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley In a large dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper. Brown the beef ribs on all sides in the hot oil. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the hot pot and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are browned and the onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine, broth, tomatoes and bay leaves and bring to a simmer, making sure your scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Nestle the short ribs in the simmering mixture, then cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Transfer to the oven and cook for 3-4 hours, until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone. Once the beef is fully cooked and tender, stir the parsley into the braising liquid and serve right away with polenta or risotto. Directions: Preheat your oven to 325F.
Directions: Squeeze the orange pulp over a large bowl to extract all the juices. Whisk in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Add the orange, radish and fennel to the bowl and toss well to combine. Place a handful of arugula on 2 plates, then top with a generous amount of the fennel-orange mixture.

Working quickly, dip 2 lady fingers in the coffee mixture for 3 seconds and then lay in the bottom of a 9 x 9 baking pan. Repeat with half the pack- age of biscuits until you have a single layer of lady fingers in the bottom of the pan. Spoon in half of the mascarpone mixture, then add another layer of soaked biscuits and the remaining mascarpone. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Just before serving, cut into 9 even squares and dust generously with cocoa powder.
Another ⅛ cup of butter in cubes ½ cup grated hard cheese such as Parmigiano Reggiano Directions: Bring the broth to a simmer over low heat, cover and keep warm. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent, but not brown. Add the rice and saffron and stir everything well to coat the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to turn a little bit translucent around the edge. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is fully absorbed. Begin adding in the warm stock ½ a cup at a time, always stirring well. Make sure the first ½ cup is absorbed before adding more liquid, and keep tasting the risotto to see how soft the rice is. You will probably have broth left over- it all depends on the type and brand of rice you use. The risotto will take about 20 minutes of stirring and adding the liquid a bit at a time before it’s done. Once the risotto is creamy and cooked through but still a little chewy, remove the pot from the heat, cover it and let it stand for another 5 minutes. Have another taste and add another few spoonfuls of broth and some more salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the cubes of butter and cheese and serve right away.
Directions: In a small saucepan, bring the cream and vanilla bean paste to a simmer over medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, pour the cream over the chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until smooth. Stir in the butter and the Cognac. Cover with plastic wrap and refriger- ate until firm, about 2 hours. Put the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Remove the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and, using your hands (wear gloves if you can!), scoop out the chocolate mixture 1 tsp at a time, roll into 1-inch balls and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are formed, roll them a few at a time in a large bowl with a bit of cocoa powder to coat. Then place the truffles in a fine-mesh strainer and gently shake to remove excess cocoa powder. Repeat until all the truffles are dusted.
