Syrah fever: In recent years, syrah fever has touched the Central Coast of California, Chile and Argentina, and of late and most notably for us American wine lovers, Washington state. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) |
In France, where it has been best appreciated as a wine, and in much of the rest of the world, it goes by the name "syrah," whereas it is called "shiraz" in Australia and by some winemakers in both South Africa and California. Same grape, different names.
But the twofold name is a mystery. Is it after the city of Shiraz in Persia? The Sicilian city of Syracuse? Even more obscure are the grape's origins: Via Egypt through Sicily? Planted in the Rhone Valley by a passing crusader or even, as some allege, St. Patrick himself? Or, simply, hundreds of years ago, a mutation of a vine indigenous to the Rhone?
The latter, scientists say, and probably fathered by the ancient vine Allobrogica, written about by both Pliny the Elder and Julius Caesar. Allobrogica was termed "serus" in Latin ("late ripening"); hence, "serine" in old French, then "syrah."
In any case, syrah's present notoriety is based, by and large, on its wines made in two places on the globe: along the northern Rhone and throughout Australia. But in recent years, syrah fever has touched the Central Coast of California, Chile and Argentina, and of late and most notably for us American wine lovers, Washington state.
While there are but 3,100 acres of syrah in Washington to California's 19,000, Washington's syrah acreage has quadrupled since 1993. Because syrah from Washington is proving to be so outstanding, it is a sure bet that even more plantings are to come.
Syrah, like the cabernet sauvignon and merlot for which Washington long has been famed, enjoys the state's extended hours of sunlight as it develops flavor compounds and deep pigmentation that grapes at lower latitudes simply cannot imitate.
Furthermore, the significant day-to-night swings in temperature (up to 40 degrees) help Washington syrah grapes retain acidity, something devoutly to be wished for in a red wine, both for texture and refreshment, as well as for aging potential.
Finally, the very soil in which Washington syrah vines grow antes up the flavor in their grapes. "Where the best syrah is planted," says Christophe Hedges of Hedges Family Estates, "like Red Mountain or Walla Walla, the soil pHs are super high, like 7 to 9.4, where the normal is 3 to 7. Acidic soils like these mean that nutrients are absorbed slowly, so that there's a real limit on (grape) yield. That means more concentrated flavors."
What all this agriculture, viticulture and winemaking culture add up to in the glass is a terrifically interesting, delicious and multilayered red wine — in my experience like no other.
The color on a Washington syrah is shockingly saturated; you can't see through a pour of it. You'd think that means cheek-chewing tannins, but, no, the texture is sleek, as smooth as cat's ears. The wine is chock-full of tannin, all right, but it's the round-the-mouth sort, dusting and fine-grained, not astringent or grating.
The color is a harbinger of intensity of flavor, dark red fruit aromas and tastes such as blackberry and black raspberry, those accented with a panoply of grace notes of black olive, tobacco, black pepper and, sometimes, bacon fat or green, piney herb and, in the more interesting syrahs, bewitching scents of blueberry or pomegranate.
Then, there is the liveliness of all that deeply wrought color and fruit, a refreshing and buoyant personality tied together with snappy acidity and (miraculous these days in a red wine) low alcohol (14-15 percent tops).
When used in a red blend — a particular strength of Washington red winemaking — syrah donates all those goodies, but then might be given more grip from cabernet sauvignon, even more depth of color from mourvedre or in-your-face fruit from grenache. Many interesting red blends from Washington take their cue from syrah as their base.
Washington syrahs
2009 Sequel Syrah, Columbia Valley ($50; the nose won't allow you to put down the glass in your hand); 2010 Gramercy Cellars Syrah Lagniappe, Columbia Valley ($50; terrific note of blueberry); 2009 Amaurice Cellars Syrah, Columbia Valley ($35; juicy, sparky fruit, liveliest of the bunch); 2009 Buty Winery Red Blend Rediviva of the Stones, Walla Walla ($60; a fourth cabernet sauvignon; superslick texture, crisp finish, gorgeous feel); and 2009 Cadaretta Red Blend Windthrow, Columbia Valley ($60; pretty note of mint, filet mignon "meaty").
If you can find it, though, buy this syrah to experience the best that Washington will give you: 2010 Gramercy Cellars Syrah, Walla Walla Valley. You will want to smell this wine into your tummy, so come-hither are its aromas of fruits, earth and the darks of black pepper, campfire and dried rose, but your tongue will thank you for passing by it such sleek texture, chin-dripping juicy fruit and zesty acidity. It's made by a former sommelier with an eye to the table, its absolutely happiest setting. ($50-$55)
If your wine store does not carry these wines, ask for one similar in style and price.

Modern Warfare 3 continues Xbox Live activity dominance
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 retained its chart-topping position in this week's report on Xbox Live activity. Until Madden NFL 2013 fires up we can probably expect the charts to remain fairly static; you'll notice this one bears a marked resemblance to last week's. And the week before. And the week before that. The Arcade chart has more to offer, though; the long-awaited Dust: An Elysian Tail is in at second place behind the perennial Minecraft.

Modern Warfare 3 once again tops XBL Activity chart for June 4
Modern Warfare 3 once again topped the XBL chart for the week of June 4 and Minecraft remained at number two. The top arcade title played was once again Minecraft, the most played indie title was, again, CastleMiner Z followed by CastleMiner and like last week, GTA IV topped the GFWL list, followed by Age of Empires Online and Arkham City. If we didn't know any better, we'd say it was the same list – again – with a few shakeups here and there. Get the full thing below. Via Major Nelson.

Garlic Smashed Potatoes
"Smashed" Potatoes are made with unpeeled potatoes, while "mashed" potatoes used peeled spuds. Since most of the vitamins are located just under the skin, smashed is the healthier option.
1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
4 gloves if garlic, halved
1 ¼ c. low-fat plain yogurt
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes and garlic and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minute2, or until the potatoes are very tender. Drain and return to pan.
2. Add the yogurt, salt, pepper and smash or whip the potatoes until they reach the desired consistency. Stir in the scallions.
Chicken and Vegetables in a Cream Sauce
1 tbsp. Olive oil
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 orange bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 lb. of Asparagus, cut into 2" pieces
1 tsp. dried thyme
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
(About three ounces each)
1 ½ c. dry sherry or broth
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
½ c Reduced-fat sour cream
Asparagus is an excellent source of an especially powerful type of flavonoid called Rutin. Studies have demonstrated that Rutin can protect cell membranes from free-radical damage (which leads to hardening of the arteries). Strengthen capillaries, and lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. Rutin has also been shown to have a preventative effect against diabetes. So become a Rutin fan – your heart will thank you!

Britten: Phaedra & other works
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Last few CD copies remaining
Movement 1: Poco presto ed agitato
Movement 2: Variations
Movement 3: Tarantella
The Sinfonietta is a remarkably assured example of Brittens earlier compositions. The instrumentation belies at once his skill in crafting notes which sound as if they were always intended for that particular instrument; there is never any sense of this music feeling scored from some kind of piano reduction. The opening bars unfold five interrelated motifs which provide the basis of the material to be heard in all three movements. The intervallic shapes delineated by these motivic units are played out against an important major-seventh pedal point (B flatA) which itself relates back to the motifs. Schoenbergs influence can be detected in the way the melodic and harmonic parameters cross-refer.
The sonata form of the first movement yields to an unusual set of variations, marked andante, in the second movement. Their growth from a rather loose organization of the motivic elements, through some impressive development to a moving climax and a recapitulation, is not what one might expect. The term variations can be seen to apply to Brittens persistent reappraisal of the original material. The finale employs once again the intervallic structure of the original motivic set heard at the beginning of the Poco presto ed agitato. Brittens choice of the Tarantella foreshadows his later dances of death in such works as Our Hunting Fathers (1936) or Sinfonia da Requiem (1940).

Here is a visual-perception challenge for you. See how quickly you can see the dogs. READ THE TEXT BELOW before looking at the picture!
Typical comments by people taking the test:
Men seem to do better at this than women, for some reason. The following are average times:
- "I couldn't see any dogs and I stared at the picture for a good 10 minutes."
- "I think it is one of those pictures where you have to stare at a certain spot and then everything comes into focus, but it never happened to me. I'll give it another try later."
- "I almost didn't find the dogs at all!"
- "There is a dog in this picture? Where?"
- "This must be a joke; there are no dogs in this picture."
Women - 12.46 minutes
Men - 1.23 seconds
HINT: The dogs appear to be white with black spots!
Good luck, and happy hunting!

Vicks V3500 Replacement Tank Product ReviewsModel Number: M-GC.7206 Category: Humidifiers Warranty: None Price: $13.50 new tank was better than the old one!I was happy that I didn't need to replace the whole unit after I broke the top on the tank. I was able to find a replacement tank and, it is better than the old one ever was! The website was easy to search and placing the order only took a moment. Whole experience was a breeze! Vicks v3500First one leaked second one is fineQuality replacement partI dropped and broke the water tank on my Kaz humidifier which has been in use for 6 years. I run it daily for about four months per year. This is an identical replacement for the original tank, the price was good and shipping was fast. Hope I can now get several more years service out of the humidifier. AndyI ordered a replacement tank because the cap on my existing tank no longer worked. Two of the three notches on the cap had broken off. These notches screw into grooves in the tank, forming a tight seal for the cap. Unfortunately, when the replacement tank arrived, one of the notches on the cap was already broken off. I called Kaz and the customer service rep was courteous. She agreed to send me another cap, free of charge. It arrived intact, but the cap doesn''t screw into either tank (either the existing tank or the replacement tank I received). Apparently, the cap is from a newer model....and it simply won''t screw on properly. I gave up, and will buy another product. I was treated with respect, and the products arrived in a timely fashion - but they simply didn''t get the job done. Great replacement tank.This tank is exactly like the original for the humidifier and arrived in great condition. The only issue I had was that it was for a newer model than mine and didn't fit my older model, but we'll get the correct one. Replacement tankPerfect replacement. It prolonged the life of my humidifier. I'm so glad replacements are available. Shipping was immediate. Thank you. Replacement tankPerfect replacement. It prolonged the life of my humidifier.

Online Reservations
I brought my boyfriend to this restaurant for his birthday dinner, and we both ABSOLUTELY LOVED our experience here! Great food, creative and delicious drinks, exceptional service, the most amazing scenic view we have ever seen! It was an unforgettable experience for us both. Simply amazing!
We were initially seated in the interior of the restaurant but then the waiter noted there was a table opening up near the window, so we moved there. Very nice! We ordered the crunchy house roll for an appetizer and it was some of the best sushi we've ever had. For the main course we got the bbq pork ribs and the chicken breast. Both were excellent and large portions. We intended on getting dessert but were too full to do so. Definitely worth a return visit to try the tasty sounding desserts. The restaurant gave us a small brownie with a candle since we were celebrating a birthday. This was a wonderful gesture and greatly appreciated! Overall, this is an excellent restaurant due to the food, location, view and everything else.
Came here for our first year anniversary and it definitely fit the occasion! Staff was friendly, no wait to be seated, and the food was delicious. The location offers beautiful views of the city.
From the valet parking to the check, the experience dining at Yamashiro was exceptional. Excellent service, delectable food, romantic ambience, and a memorable experience all together. I will definitely be going back!!
I always love coming back here. My family and I always make it an occasion, because it is!! The food is sooooo delicious, we always get a new and even more wonderful surprise. This time it was the pumpkin creme brulee.....soooooo good. The only thing that can top the food is the view outside. Nothing compares to looking out and seeing the Los Angeles skyline at night. If you have the chance to go, I will always recommend Yamashiros.
last visit to the area our experience at yamashiro was so excellent we went twice in a week. this visit we had to wait for a drink for about twenty minutes and the busboy was more attentive. the food was also served by another server and my meal was dried out while my partner's was perfect. The original server apologized anx brought sauces but our overall experience was not as it should be. also we overheard the server discussing something about how much he was expected to earn for each table with the next table over and then telling them that the entree kitchen would be closing while we had just begun ours. I felt hurried and our reservation was at 8pm. I would go back this place is beautiful but I would ask for a different server.
Everything was amazing from the food to the ambiance to the service.
Went for an early dinner while on vacation in the area. Menu was not vast but the listings were unique and well prepared. Could have been a touristy place but the restaurant does a nice job to pleasantly surprise with a solid dinner and cool atmosphere.
I always enjoy going to this restaurant.The people are great. They always make us feel warm and we really enjoy the food each and every time and the scenery is fantastic.
Food and service were outstanding. This is my second time here and yet they still seem to surprise me with they're great service.
It was our 3 month anniversary and this is the place we went on our first date!! It is an amazing dining experience. The food is very good!! I did not like the sauce they used on the filet, but everything was terrific. Loved walking around the grounds after eating, the view was spectacular. I think the place is romantic, but I did see some kids there and I felt that it was more of a romantic night out.
We had a small group together for my wife's birthday celebration. The ambiance, the view, the decor, the crowd were all perfect for our little night out. The food very good, not excellent, and maybe maybe not quite worthy of the high price (in this reviewer's opinion), but it makes sense that the premium would go towards the excellent service and the beautiful atmosphere, which is what we went there for anyway. I think just looking at a photo album of pictures of the restaurant will give you a better idea of what it's like than any text review.
Food scrumptious, drinks outstanding. Prepare to spend some $$$ but it's worth it.
I went with a friend before hitting up the Pantages, the chef just started playing with a Ceviche dish, it was a special that night and was one of the best ceviches I have had since my trip to Peru. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for that something extra on a special night out. Note - bring a bit of cash to pay the valet service - as there is no public parking there, it's only $8 + tip.
One of the best experiences we have had in a long time. The ambiance, food & view were spectacular!! We had friends from Baltimore, MD with us and they were very impressed also. We were there 5 1/2 hours and loved very minute. Can't wait to go back. Got some great pictures of LA at night also..
Gorgeous Japanese palace on top of the hills. And the Japanese-Mexican fusion food is great too! Try the wagyu beef on the Himalayan salt..it's a bit expensive but delicious, comes with salad, and you can serve 3 easily if you include a few appetizers, And the himachi, thinly sliced on a plate, is yummy. Don't forget the carnitas on sticky rice! Fabulous view. Romantic. Best place to take a friend if they are visiting Hollywood for the first time. Walk around the grounds after dinner and soak in the view of Hollywood. Dreamy!
Yamashiro is one of my Hollywood favorites! The food is great! Very fresh - the service is prompt and courteous, and the price is reasonable. The view is AMAZING!! -Love this place!
I definitely would recommend this restaurant for the view alone! The food was good, not amazing but definitely was satisfied at the end of the night.
Excellent food. Fillet mignon was the best I have had. Carnitas appetizer was just as good. Great view of Hollywood. Pricey, but it was well worth it. Will definitely return soon.
The view is great especially because it was a clear night. the food was great and so was the drinks. The only problem was the service was slow. took forever to get a waiter, then it took a long time for the drinks to arrive but when the did. overall I would go again.
Service, setting, and food were all good. The tables were close and the table next to us sounded loud, even for two different groups. I could hear the entire conversation, which was interesting, but not what I was there for and I'm sure not what the other table wanted. Everything else was excellent. The garden is beautiful. The view is outstanding and the employees were all attentive and friendly.
Had another fantastic meal at Yamashiro - the vista at sunset is not to be missed. But this autumn, don't skimp on dessert. Have the pumpkin brulee! It's sublime... I can't wait to go back !!!
View was great and food was delcious! I took my girlfriend here to celebrate our 4 year anniversary today. The people working at the Valet and at the restaurant were all very kind. As soon as we were seated we were immediately greeted and taken care of. The scenery is beautiful and the service was fast. The portion on the Himalaya Salt Plate was the only thing I felt could've been better. The meal was 60$ but more than half the plate were just potatoes rather than the steak. Overall however I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful view and taking a special someone out for a special occasion. :)
Celebrated my mothers 63rd with my brother, wife, kids 9&7y/o. Everyone was very happy as Yamashiro's never fails to be at the top of their game.
It is a great restaurant. Would definitely go back.
Very nice atmosphere and view overlooking Hollywood. The Sushi was delicious
I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly captivated by the incredible view. I'll be coming back for a special rendezvous!
Very romantic place. Good food, although small selection of rolls.
I took my girlfriend here for our two year anniversary. Amazing spot. The view is gorgeous, and the staffs are extremely friendly. The manager even came and congratted us on our anniversary. We ordered two drinks, two appetizers and two entrees. All were deliciously crafted with outstanding presentation. Billy( the maneger) gave us a complimentary dessert and a tour inside the castle. I would highly recommend this restaurant to any couple seeking a romantic dinner.
If you have tourists in town, this is the place to take them for a special dinner. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out, and there is no better view of LA and Hollywoood that from here. There are a lot of window tables too, so probably no problem getting the seat you want. The food presentation was gorgeous and the service was 5 star. Highly recommended!
Have enjoyed Yamashiro's the past 40 years. Always a wonderful experience.
Excellent restaurant .. One of my very top choices for a romantically lovely dinner. Waiter was on top of everything..
Great food and great views. I will be going back many more times.
Great view and great food. Ordered a lobster roll, excellent. The entrees were also great, but it took like a century to arrive. Also, we were ignored by the waiter with the water and had to call him twice. And there wasn't any information about the service fee of the valet-parking (US$ 8, by the way, not that expensive, but I like to know in advance how much I'll pay)
Yamashiro never fails to deliver. Had an outstanding evening. From the food to the service to the ambiance and the view, it was truly spectacular! Great place to go if you're looking for a memorable evening!!
I had such a great time at Yamashiro! Food excellect, service excellente, drinks fabulous! NIGHT SPOILER....... parking attendants unnecesary comments/remarks about guests vehicles..... the fact that the comments were made in Spanish some people speak more than one language.... Other than that, a FABOULUS place. I will recomend Yamasiro to anyone.!!!!!! GREAT JOB.....like every single time I've been there..
The best place to dine and not ride an elevator to get a outstanding view of LA.
Our party had a wonderful time at this beautiful and cozy restaurant. We loved the ambience. No room for stuffy people here:-) The food was delicious and the drinks were AMAZING! Wonderful customer service! Our waiter was extremely friendly and witty which added to our experience. He even suggested a dessert which all of us greatly enjoyed!. We will definitely return again.
The food was mostly good. I just didn't carnitas starters. They were too sweet and salty for me.
Everything was amazing the view was gorgeous food was delicious but service could of been a little better
Yamashio's was great. The food was wonderful and the service was great.
Great view, great food, you can't ask for anything more. It's a little pricey but worth it, it's not someplace you're going to be going to every week. Good steak and good sushi, impeccable service.
Yamashiro is a must for anyone. The food, the environment, and the view are all outstanding. The service staff were all very courteous and our server was very helpful with menu selections. If you want to leave a lasting impression on your dinner guests, take them to Yamashiro.
Came to Yamashiro for my 10 yr anniversary. Absolutely loved it!!! And our server was awesome! Think his name was Phillip, so helpful and honest.
Took my girlfriend as a surprise. She loved it. The drinks were very good. Really enjoyed the sushi. The steak was amazing! It is very pricey but for a special occasion with someone special I definitely recommend it!
We were celebrating my daughters "25th" birthday. We were traveling from Orange County and called in advance to say that we were going to be late due to traffic but the hostess said "not to worry" . We showed up 1/2 hour late but they had our table waiting for us , and they were R E A L L Y B U S Y. From the time we arrived to the final cake arrival (with birthday wishes included in chocolate on the plate) was terrific. The food, waitress, and ambience was wonderful...definitely will return.
I had only previously come here as part of a UCLA greek event so my prior experience was somewhat blurred. However, I finally came for dinner and it was impeccable. Service was extraordinary and the view is obviously amazing. Would definitely recommend and have done so already.
Took my fiance to Yamashiro for dinner after visiting Griffith Park. Ambiance was delightful and the views of the city are beautiful. Yamashiro was very accommodating and they were able to seat us before our reserved time due to our shortened trip to the Observatory because of the cold and windy night. I would recommend Yamashiro to all whom can attend whether for a special occassion or if your day-to-day lifestyle permits this level of dinning. We will definetly be attending again during the day to ensure we can view more of the elegance and history of the site.
Great place for a romantic dinner for a special occasion.
This restaurant is one of my favorites spots in LA. I'm a student and am not from the area so I love to find places like this. The view is amazing and perfect for a date or if friends just want to enjoy a cool evening at the top of the hill. The food is unique(sometimes an adventurous spirit is required) but I have enjoyed everything I have ordered. Recommend the Black Forbidden Rice Roll, it's my favorite of the sushi rolls. The BBQ ribs are also perfect. It is definitely a must for anyone new to LA. The inner courtyard is as beautiful as the view. While the entire restaurant is stunning, try to request a table by the window or in the inner courtyard. It'll make your meal even better. :)
