Thursday, February 7 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM (6:30 PM doors)
AIWF - New York Chapter presents AIWF NY Chapter: Navarra Paints New York Garnacha-
at W - Union Square Hotel - The Great Room, New York City
AIWF NY Chapter - Navarra Paints New York Garnacha Red
The American Institute of Wine & Food - New York
Chapter is proud to present this outstanding
educational tribute to this extraordinary region
of Navarra.
Join us for a tasting of wines & a dinner prepared
by one of Spain's most well-known chefs, Teresa
Gil of Restaurante Don Pablo of Pamplona.
The Kingdom of Navarra, Spain has a stored history.
Navarra, situated in the north of Spain, is a land
of complexity and contrast. From the wild and
rugged Pyrennees to the gentle, bucolic landscapes
of its southwest, Navarra has almost as many climatic
variations as the whole of Spain. Bordered by
France, Castilla, Aragon and the Basque Country,
Navarra shares many cultural elements with each.
Connected to many historic sites by the famed Camino
de Santiago, Navarra's smooth landscapes, fertile
valleys, dramatic piedmont escarpments, medieval towns
and strategic crossroads have been immortalized by
Hemmingway and many other authors. Due to its
relative isolation, Navarra has remained a
distinctive region within Spain. The cuisine, farm products,
and wines have always been unique; now as the region
becomes better know outside of Spain, these
indigenous products are even more highly prized.

Greetings!
The Biscuit Readings continue, this time with our hot pepper of a novelist, Jami Attenberg.Selections from her upcoming novel, The Kept Man, are on the menu.
Join us SUNDAY November 11th 6 to 8 PM Biscuit BBQ, Park Slope (that’s Brooklyn, baby) (N to Union)
Stop by for a drink, a rib and some lovin’!
Jami Attenberg is the author of the story collection Instant Love.She has written for Jane, Print, Nerve, the San Francisco Chronicle, and others.Her novel, The Kept Man, will be published by Riverhead Books in January 2008.Visit her online at www.jamiattenberg.com
Reviews:
“With The Kept Man, Jami Attenberg has written a gorgeously atmospheric novel about art, love and obsession that evokes North Brooklyn in all its gritty, workaday, do-it-yourself glamour. Jarvis Miller is a heroine for the oughts: passionate, independent, sexy, lonely and brave. Like Mary Gaitskill, Attenberg gets at the dark and complex hungers that underlie even the most basic human interactions."
-Kate Christensen, author of In the Drink, The Epicure’s Lament and The Great Man

Every once in a while, it is good to go back and review restaurants already reviewed, and to check out what the scene is like.
I thought I’d poke my head in and see what Camille Becerra has been up to since she was on Top Chef.
Paloma 60 Greenpoint Ave Brooklyn, NY11222 718.349.2400
Changes for the better:
The Menu – some nice additions, such as the seared scallops with the saffron ragout and the quinoa caviar, and the seasonal sides.
The Hours – It’s now dinner only, Tuesday through Sunday (weekend brunch has returned, however) which is probably a good thing, since the place is open late night for the party monsters inhabiting the tidal coast of Northside and Greenpoint. It is likely, once the hulking ugliness in LIC creeps down the point, that the hours will expand to accommodate the people- explosion, but we’ll have to stay tuned for that.
The Chef – Camille is closer to her kitchen than she was right after the opening, which is always good.
The Weekly Line Up has begun to fall into place:
Thursdays: DJ & Vintage Films Sundays – DJ Gary spins
Some things never change:
The stench from the LIC sewage plant sometimes drifts down here and is inescapable
Most people still cling to the corner of Franklin & Greenpoint, as if that one extra block to the west might kill them.
Still a lot of abandoned buildings & live chicken slaughter to deal with on the avenue
