Wine Cocktails boasts a good introductory section on wine, liquors and liqueurs and bar tools and glassware. It's a good first step for the novice bartender who wants to offer their guests something more thoughtful than just what comes straight out of the bottle. Focusing on one type of cocktail (like learning to become adept at say, cooking Italian food) allows you the opportunity to refine some skills and tastes which then give you the confidence to broaden your "libatious" horizons. But you (and your guests) would be well-served even if you decided wine drinks were your party specialty.
Once you've got your cubes ready, your lemons and limes sliced and your shaker at hand, you can try these three cocktails from [Rathbun]'s guide. You can also find Rathbun (along with his blog Spiked ...

I'm sure other people have made a teatini with iced tea," says T.O. Bevy's Ernie McIvor, who dreamed up the steamy-tini. "But this is a Manitoba first.... Can you imagine if it's 35 below and you come in and have one?
"There's bound to be something for everybody," [Peter Wilk] says. "But it's not just the chance to try the cocktails. You'll see the whole art of making the cocktail. They'll show you how to muddle (crush) the mint leaves for mojitos. They'll show you the proper method for shaking and straining."
"The first thing people want to make sure is that they have a safe ride home," he says. "Unlike wine, where you'd start with white and work your way to red, it's tough to say which ones to go to first. You'd probably want to save the creamy drinks for last. You might want to sta...

It's now a family tradition to begin our Moose Jaw getaway with lunch at Yvette Moore Gallery (76 Fairford Street W.). The artist and entrepreneur's gift shop and café is housed in the ornate former Land Titles Office. The Copper Café's airy ambiance and fresh menu make it a popular destination for savvy tourists and locals. Their diverse menu features fresh homemade fare like non-alcoholic saskatoon berry champagne, summer sweet pea spinach soup with cream and honey-orange-dill spinach salad topped with chicken.
After our soul enriching gallery visit, it's foraging time again. This summer we made a great new restaurant discovery: Renate's Tea Time (125b Main Street N.). Teetotalers can relax and savour the very upscale and tasty English-style High Tea. Owner and pastry chef Renate Rie...

It is more bewildering that Mr. Wolson would be shocked that Judge Champagne would call a special hearing to put on the public record, before the Crown attorney, the transgression of a principle of natural justice. Mr. Wolson's conduct in the affair is a little odd: He initially advised former provincial judge Sam Minuk (who sat in court Sept. 16 as a character witness) not to write a letter or speak in court in support of Brock Golden, convicted of luring via the Internet teenaged girls into sexual encounters. Judge Champagne reserved his decision on what kind of sentence Golden would get -- Mr. Wolson asked his client be allowed to serve his sentence in the community, while the Crown wanted a three-year prison term. Two days later, the defence lawyer told Judge Champagne he cautioned ...

It's like soap bubbles in your sink and it sits on your food like that," [Cameron Huley] says. "It disappears in your mouth and there's a sensation of popping with the flavour left behind.
"What you're basically doing is quick-curing," says Chantalle Noschese, pastry chef at Glutton's Specialty Foods & Bistro on Corydon Avenue. "We do a little bit of that in a different way. You're seasoning the meat, wrapping it in several layers of plastic film, and poaching it in water to retain its moisture."
"Under wellness, you'd have diet trends," [Dana McCauley] says, "and out of that, also neutriceuticals and other things vaguely connected to health that are also their own separate branches."

You have to begin at the Magic Kingdom. It's the classic, the fantasy, the place where dreams come true. It doesn't matter if you're seven or 57, that first look down Main St. at Cinderella's castle is enough to make even the most stoic man get misty-eyed.
The major rides here are Pirates of the Caribbean (an old chestnut remade so that Johnny Depp's movie character is a star attraction), Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for a screaming roller coaster experience, Splash Mountain (another classic but scream-inducing), the Haunted Mansion, Mad Tea Party, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Space Mountain (which was closed when we were there) and, if you like having the world's most annoying song stuck in your head for days, It's A Small World.
