Wicked Cellars - RoxyAnn Winery from Oregon with Ray Bloom from Vinum Wines

Inspired by the Rogue Valley's natural beauty and bounty, RoxyAnn Winery was founded in 2002 at the historic Hillcrest Orchard in east Medford, Oregon. The name, RoxyAnn, comes from their vineyard’s location on the lower slopes of the mountain that early Rogue Valley settlers named after pioneer woman Roxy Ann Bowen.

In 2001, the first harvest at RoxyAnn produced only 150 cases of their proprietary red "Claret." Today, RoxyAnn Winery produces nearly 15,000 cases of award-winning Claret, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier that reflect balance, complexity and profound depth of flavor under the direction of veteran winemaker, John Quinones.

2011 RoxyAnn Pinot Gris**** pear, lemon

2009 RoxyAnn Viognier**** pear, melon, apricot

2009 RoxyAnn Sky Hill Red (GSM)*** leather, blueberry

2009 Tempranillo*** black cherries, currents

2009 Cabernet Sauvignon***+ black current, vanilla

2009 Cabernet Franc**** herbs, violets, spice

2009 Syrah***+ blackberry, white pepper, spice

Cooking at Home – Corn on the Cob

Cooking at Home

Cooking at Home – A new use for your Microwave…

For those of us who love the taste of fresh corn on the cob, but don’t like to heat up the house on a sunny day by boiling the corn or firing up a BBQ – Try this:

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Place corn in microwave

Place an ear of corn, husk, silk and all in to your microwave. Depending on the power setting of your microwave it may take 3 to 4 min. for a single ear or 6 to 7 for two. I’m not sure that you would want to cook more than 4 at a time.



Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Cut just above the base of the corn

At the end of the cooking time carefully remove the ear of corn (Caution: it will be hot). Place on a proper cutting board and cut just above the base of the corn.

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Cut just above the base of the corn

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Slide the husk and silk off (Caution: it will be hot)

Now slide the husk and silk off (Caution: it will be hot). Cooking note: The corn may be left in the microwave for several min. after cooking is complete by placing a paper towel over the corn.

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Now enjoy the sweetness of the corn

Now enjoy the sweetness of the corn with out the heat on a hot summer day…
