IT'S ONE THING TO OPEN A RESTAURANT that nails a perfectly cheesy, crispy khachapuri, or to train a team capable of coaxing a stubborn Napa Cab-head into ordering a bottle of Georgian rosé. It's an entirely different thing to build a business that supports small wine producers from Syria, Lebanon, and Georgia by assuming much of the necessary financial and logistical risk tied to bringing their wines to an American audience.
"Small winemakers just need cold, hard cash up front for the nature of the work," explains Rose Previte. Previte, owner of restaurants Maydan and Compass Rose in Washington, D.C., is also a cofounder of Go There Wines, a new kind of wine venture that coproduces vintages with small winemakers in countries that aren't typically represented in bottle-shop aisles and on restaurant menus.

The Gilda Age - How to perfect the world's best bar snack at home
In the late 1940s, Rita Hayworth turned heads in Hollywood with her sultry, sharp-tongued, titular role in the movie Gilda. Hayworth's character also made a lasting impression further afield in Spain, at Casa Vallés bar in Donostia-San Sebastián, inspiring the creation of a pintxo-a tiny, toothpick-speared snack-that still bears her character's name today. The new pintxo was so popular that it was quickly adopted by other spots throughout the city. It is now Basque country's most iconic bar snack
Tasting Tasmania - Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.
Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.asmania smells fresh. Parks and wilderness cover 40% of the island, and much of the rest is farmland. Swept by the Roaring Forties-intense westerly winds that buffet the southern hemisphere- the atmospheric station at Cape Grim in the state's northwest corner regularly records the earth's most pristine air. Down here in Australia's southernmost state, not far from Antarctica, simply taking a breath is delicious. But that's not all that's delicious. Grapes retain mouthwatering acidity in the chilly, maritime climate of Tasmania (or Lutruwita, as it's called in palawa kani, the local Aboriginal language). Having loved Tolpuddle Vineyard's earthy Pinot Noirs, full of cranberry and orange-peel flavors, back in New York, I'd made a pilgrimage to the island for its wine.

Cut long, deep slits down each eggplant before grilling to help the centers steam and soften as the outside chars. Serve this smoky, spreadable dish warm or at room temperature with roti or naan.
