Hey Justin
It was pretty much the same last year (we go to Sydney for Jens b'day as all
south coast booked out) and we had the area to ourselves pretty much :)
BUT, we won't be doing public transport....
But plenty of places to blow the froth off a few coldies around the Rocks...
Early Merry Christmas to all those out there still on the list as I'm off the
air for a few days after tonight...
Cheers
Steve

You may of course have trouble getting in to Sydney if this keeps going...
There are loads of breweries in Marrickville if you get time get out there.
Less than 1o min walk from Sydenham Station.
Batch
Stockade
Philter
The Grifter
Sauce
All within a couple of hundred metres of each other...

Hey Justin
Until I get to Europe again, I have to make do when I have the rare occasions
to try different wines by the glass. Thus discovered the Vouvray.
We're staying at the Rocks in early January and will try a few places (probably
a lot more Craft beers :)). We're doing Café Sydney again which has a good
(albeit prices) winelist, though mostly Oz.
Cheers
Steve

The other white you might enjoy Steve (if you haven't already) is Vernaccia
from San Gimignano. Not easy to come by here, but I picked up a couple of
bottles in the mid $20's from Amatos liquor in Leichhardt.

I remember Louise and I going to Vouvray and drinking Chenin Blanc. They
weren't geared up for tourists and seemed surprised we turned up and so we felt
compelled to buy some. This must have been 20 years ago
The wine I really miss from the Loire is Muscadet. Such an easy drinking wine
and you could get terrific bargains for under 5 euro at the hypermarkets.
They do make some reasonable Chenin Blanc in WA.

Hi Steve,
Yes, Chenin Blanc will be absolutely perfect with the white meats!
I have not had a good chenin for a while.
I understand that this is the current fave white for trendy people
so will go look and see what is currently available!!
Over 2 evenings last weekend, I served 2010 US Pinot Noir (with the shio koji
Ribeye) and a
2011 Gran Reserva Rioja (with beef Wellington and Pasta w Spanish Sofrito not
central American)
The Pinot was a hit, the Rioja less so - think it needs a bit more time - it
was a recent release.
Now to go rummage for a nice white for the seafood I am doing for Christmas -
may crack open a German riesling - hmmm, Kabinett or Spatlase?

Hi Susan
I've ordered some for myself and 2 other guys here at work as well .... who
would have thought....steelmakers fermenting Koji for food. Heck, I'm sure one
of use will be fermenting Sake and making Miso before too long...
I've just discovered and stocked up on fantastic French Loire Valley Chenin
Banc, which should make a fantastic match to some shio koji marinated white
meat...
I'M excited!!!

Hi Steve,
Let me know how the fermentation project goes.
I am so in love with the ingredient on beef, and am going to try it on seafood
next.
That is my Christmas project. Will try to remember to take pics next time.
I found the porridge like paste as well as a liquid marinade and the actual
rice in online grocers.
Now deciding which way I want to go.

Thanks Susan
I had seen articles about home made miso using the Shio Koji a while back ,but
most of the stuff was pricey and out of stock anyway. Fascinating reading and
definitely worth exploring - anything which makes food better AND is good for
you is a massive win win.
Our local Japanese restaurant closed down a few years back and I miss it
massively, so want to do more Japenese cooking at home. Whilst relatively
simple ingredients. It's all about freshness, especially seafood. Good cooking
for summer and I have some time off all January to play...

Hi Steve,
Have a look at this site too:
https://www.justonecookbook.com/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.justonecookbook.com/__;!!Nd8K6TfUt9jcQpcU_mCx!_kiwXr_VPFgMgVQFvHOBIIt-IKqMSYZZO8tTUUrUyp71Hj8No6xWx3ZgWWeFoxcoQldhYL30$>
She is based in the US and writes for the home cook and I often use her recipes.
My "ingredient for the moment" is Shio-koji (mould-ed rice and salt - which is
the starter
for miso and sake) - I am using it as a marinade and so far I am thrilled.
I just used it in place of salt to "dry brine" a couple of 3.5cm thick rib-eye
steaks for about 8 hours,
and did a reverse sear. 20 min at 120C and then 1 min on a really hot cast iron
pan.
It was superb and it was all gone before I thought to take a pic of it.
If you are interested, here are some links to using shio koji -

I have not gotten to the stage of fermenting my own shio koji (just bought a
small bag to try).
Will see what 2022 brings, and if that will be my next fermentation exercise.
