On Books and Wine : Chris Ramelb on Birichino's Scylla and Car Car Domo Komo; New Hawaii Beer, A History of Brewing In Paradise; Cook Real Hawaii Is Released: Chris Ramelb on Birichino

Radio Mojo- the Podcast.

We're devouring more than just good food this week. Paul Kan joins us to chat about the release of his new book, Hawaii Beer, A History of Brewing in Paradise. The Foreword is written by Tim Golden, highly respected cicerone and owner of Village Bottle Shop and Tasting Room .
Sheldon Simeon's gorgeous Cook Real Hawaii is now in print - you can find it here -
and it's full of beautiful photos, recipes and stories of Hawaii.
And Chris Ramelb of Southern Glazer's Wines and Spirits waxes lyrical about two reds - Carignane- the controversial high yield grape that Birichino winemakers Alex Krause and John Locke have curated to create Scylla. "It's an old vine and super juicy, pretty, crunchy red fruit," says Chris, " and probably one of the best red wine values in the world right now." The other wine we urge you to try and get your hands on is the fabulously named Car Car Domo Komo . " It's a one-off wine and we likely won't see again," says Chris. " Grab it while you can. At Birichino - Alex Krause and John Locke have been making outstanding, somewhat quirky wines, since 2008 . These newest to the islands are not to be missed!
Enjoy!
