Dim Sum brunch could quite possibly be your ticket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every weekend our specialty Dim Sum chefs arrive at our Bellevue kitchen ready to prepare for two days of festivities. They unpack their knives, grab ingredients for the day, and create individually stuffed dumplings, and other goodies, ready to be steamed or baked for groups gathering over brunch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Originally a Cantonese custom, Dim Sum brunch is a weekly tradition for many families and showcases many flavors that satisfy each group members' taste buds.</span><br />

On a day dedicated to all forms of love - Valentine's Day - we'd like to help you pair your expression of love with a few of the <a href="http://wildginger.net/our-wine/Wine-Lists.aspx"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">wine varietals we love</span></a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If this Valentine's Day you plan on sharing your feelings with a crush, we recommend doing so while drinking a glass of something exciting - Procesco. The evanescent bubbles tingling your mouth will be reminiscent of the exciting feeling you get right before telling your crush what you think of them. Surprising and exhilarating, each sip of Procesco will be fresh and lively. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Selection from <a href="http://wildginger.net/"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Wild Ginger</span></a>'s wine list:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Case Bianche <i>Procsecco Superiore</i> Extra Dry, NV, Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Italy 38</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the frisky Valentine's date established on a not-too-serious mindset, we recommend a cheerful Beaujolais. With a playful bubblegum character, Beaujolais is juicy and fun with no bitterness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Selection from Wild Ginger's wine list:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Trenel Chermette, 2011, Beaujolais, France 48</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spending your first Valentine's Day together as a couple? We say pick a light and exciting wine that has the potential to last for years, but can be shared in this moment. We recommend a charming and robust Pinot Noir. With a supple and bright personality, Pinot Noir will pair beautifully with the hearty possibilities of the blooming future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Selection from Wild Ginger's wine list:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anam Cara <i>Nicholas Estate</i>, 2012, Yamhill-Carlton, OR 78</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If it feels like the first time this Valentine's Day, but you've been expressing your love for years now, we recommend a familiar and unwavering Syrah. Like a love that has lasted throughout the years, Syrah is luscious, bright and textured in character.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Selection from Wild Ginger's wine list:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">L'Ecole N 41, 2009, Columbia Valley, Wa 52</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bordeaux - one of the most timeless varietals would pair sweetly for Vintage Valentine's.

In the spirit of the New Year - a time for firsts - we'd like to highlight a few firsts from one pioneer that helped shape the most popular celebratory varietal in your glass this season, Champagne. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the early 1800s, after the development of the great Champagne Houses in France, <a href="http://www.perrier-jouet.com/"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Perrier - Jouët</span></a> was the first House to add a vintage on its bottle, thus echoing this trend throughout all of Europe and beyond. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">An aromatic is transforming meals into bold culinary experiences while wafting warm fragrance throughout kitchens all over the world. The culprit? Garlic!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Garlic, Bawang Putih in Indonesian and Malay, Kha in Thai, and Reing in Vietnamese is native to Central Asia, but is used in everyday cooking, globally. Containing Allicin - an antibacterial, and anti-fungal, compound said to inhibit the growth and reproduction of germs, garlic not only tastes good, but is good for you. It is filled with antioxidant properties that promote the well-being of the heart while aiding in maintaining blood circulation and decreasing blood pressure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few methods can be used to capture Garlic's distinctive, deep, flavorful essence in cooking:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Store your fresh garlic in an uncovered, or loosely covered, container in a cool, dark place away from exposure to heat or sunlight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) To chop garlic, smash a clove with the side of a knife to loosen the skin so that you can peel it off easily, then chop it with a sharp edge before using a garlic press.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) Garlic is a aromatic which means the easiest way to bring out its full flavor when stir-fry cooking, is to add your desired amount to your oil, cook to a golden brown before adding your veggies, meats, and spices.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How to make Garlic Oil :::</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Heat a small skillet over medium heat for 40 seconds and then add 3 tablespoons peanut oil. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until golden. Remove from the heat. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With an extensive 30 year background in the food and beverage industry, Sherry Arntson, excels in her ability to deliver superior guest service and delicious mouth-watering dishes. By striving to go above and beyond the expectations of her guests, Sherry takes tremendous pride in the satisfaction of all who visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Executives and Foodies alive, we all have one thing in common; we love good food. Whether it's for drinks and appetizers of a full course dinner for 10, Sherry treats everyone equally and with the highest regard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a native to the Pacific Northwest, Sherry is married with two grown children. She spreads her time away from the restaurant with her daughter, who is a chef with sights on opening her own restaurant, and also taking with her son, an office with the Colorado Police Department. Nothing brings her more joy than watching them become successful professionals in careers they love. </span>jamerfeldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02085153065953084329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767395485117153336.post-11373349405883720942013-12-10T13:13:00.000-08:002013-12-10T13:13:25.912-08:00Meet Mark Thostensen ~ Manager/Wine Director: Wild Ginger Bellevue <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From sous chef to flair bartender, craft barkeep and then sommelier, Mark spent over twelve years knee-deep in every aspect of the restaurant life. He always had a strong affinity for the craft cocktail world, adores the juice of barley, and is a complete scotch nerd. His passion for wine, however, only truly began with a less-than-thought through decision to sit for the Court of Master Sommeliers intro exam. By the time Mark passed his certified exam, he was a full-fledged oenophile, he had drank the Kool-Aid and was hooked on a life in wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mark has been a part of Wild Ginger since 2011. He enjoys the challenge of pairing international wines with the diverse world of Southeast Asian cuisine. Now Mark turns his focus on education, not only for guests, but for his colleagues and other aspiring wine professionals. Next up - the Certified Cicerone exam and Certified Specialist of Spirits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When not jetting around the Wild Ginger opening esoteric vintage Riesling bottles, you can usually find Mark cooking with his wife, catching up on TED talks, or playing video games. A Theatre and Drama major from Indiana University with a minor in Voice, there is also a good chance you can find him poking around underground gorilla theatre troupes and off-off-broadway productions. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2012 is a vintage to remember with the high temperatures in late spring through summer. Along with three months without rain, it created a nearly perfect growing condition for producing grapes in the Columbida and Walla Walla Valleys. The combination of conditions not only produced exceptional grape quality, but quantities were up as well over 2011's smaller crops. There will be great things to come from this vintage. </span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the month of July, our Bellevue location is joining over 20 other delicious Eastside restaurants in this summer's tastiest contest. This summer don't just dine. DINE TO WIN. Dine with us throughout the month of July and enter to win one of three grand prizes: Trip to Napa Valley or Lake Chelan, or $1,150 in dining cards! This is all sounding pretty yum, right? Stop in and order off our Wild Ginger at The Bravern menu to enter, and join in on the scrumptious fun. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Wild Ginger: How did you first hear about Wild Ginger?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Scott Campbell: I've known about Wild Ginger for years. They have always had a great reputation in Seattle. The first few times I had the opportunity to dine here, I remember being really impressed... I still am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: What is your favorite dish?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SC: One of the best aspects of my training was trying every dish. One dish that I was completely blown away by was the Seabass with green mango. The flavors are amazing and the crisp texture of the mango adds such a dynamic aspect to the dish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Where were you before Wild Ginger?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SC: I spent 17 years with the Pacific Coast Restaurants, moving up and down the West Coast, and joined Restaurants Unlimited when the two companies merged. I spent a few years as a Regional Director and was responsible for eight restaurants over five states. I left RU after 22 years to join Mama Stortini's. I worked in the Puyallup store for 8 months before joining the team at Wild Ginger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: The restaurant business can be very demanding, how do you spend your free time... when you have it?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SG: Most of my free time is spent with my family. I have a beautiful wife of nine years, a four-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son. We enjoy spending time cooking in the kitchen, swimming at the pool, and playing at the park. Some of my other hobbies include golfing and brewing beer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Describe Seattle's restaurant industry in three words:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SG: Evolving, growing, and dynamic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Our menu is inspired by trips to Southeast Asia. Have you been to Southeast Asia? If so, what was your experience like?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SG: I was able to visit Hong Kong shortly after my 21st birthday. The trip was a gift from my brother who was currently living there. The experience was amazing. I stayed in a village 45 minutes outside of the city, so we were able to visit the local markets and experience the cuisine. My brother was in Hong Kong building cellular towers, so we were able to climb to the top of most sky scrapers and the view was spectacular.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Do you like to cook at home? If so, what do you usually make?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SC: I love to cook at home. When I was younger, I thought I was going to become a chef so I have always had a passion for cooking. I'm not sure I have a standard "go-to" dish at home, but some of the family favorites include rigatoni bolognese, chicken lettuce wraps, and my daughter's favorite banana french toast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Does your family listen to music while cooking? If so, who do you listen to?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SC: We enjoy listening to music while we are cooking. The variety ranges depending on who's making the decision... We go from Taylor Swift (when our daughter is choosing), Eric Hutchinson, Parachute, and even throw in some Hawaiian tunes from Anuhea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>WG: Fill in the blank: The kitchen is not complete without ____.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SG: My family.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Join us for our first winemaker dinner of 2013! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A meet the winemaker dinner featuring a selection of <a href="http://www.selbach-oster.de/"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Selbach-Oster</span></a> wines, paired with <a href="http://wildginger.net/"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Wild Ginger's</span></a> Southeast Asian cuisine, presented by Johannes Selbach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ancestors of the Selbach family have been cultivating Riesling, on their family estate nestled on the hills below the Mosel, since the 1600's. Today, Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara are paying homage to the long standing family tradition of producing high-quality German wines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But what about Oster? Johannes' great-grandfather, Matthias Oster-a cooper by profession- handcrafted his own oak barrels, which were graciously filled with Selbach wine. The barrels were then stored on the family's steamship and shipped down the Mosel, and the Rhine, to the North Sea ports. The winery continued to develop as a top estate in the region offering a broad and comprehensive range of distinguished German Selbach-Oster wines. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Meet winemaker Johannes Selbach while sampling a selection of his wines paired with the robust flavors of Wild Ginger at the Selbach-Oster winemaker dinner on February 7, at 6PM, at our Seattle location.</span><br />
