I'm not a chef (or much of a cook really) so I don't come up with original recipes very often. So again, thank you!<br /><br />I have just recently started using Allspice in my recipes and find it to be a wonderful spice that brings a special characteristic to food. As for the Amaretto, I wanted to add almonds but knew they wouldn't blend correctly for a bisque so I opted for Amaretto - and if I do say so myself, it was an excellent choice.<br /><br />This bisque is definitely a comfort food but it is not just a cold weather food, it can be made anytime and used as an appetizer or as a pairing for your next wine dinner.<br /><br />Doc - the wine, Yadkin Gold from RayLen Vineyards, is a light crisp wine mostly derived from the Viognier and Riesling grapes. Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio keep the wine from being too sweet leaving it with a tropical taste of melon, fig and pineapple. It has a medium finish on the palate and is an excellent sipping wine on a warm summer evening as you sit out by the fire pit. <br /><br />I used to work for Richard Childress and we have had many conversations about North Carolian being the Napa of the South. We currently have 88 wineries in NC and at least 3 AVA's.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808169688092901049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916730573684015784.post-16747853027147529402010-01-24T12:19:34.644-05:002010-01-24T12:19:34.644-05:00will pass all the comments along lol Rebeccawill pass all the comments along lol Rebeccachow and chatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225995063075911644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916730573684015784.post-86978972545564190492010-01-24T11:36:55.870-05:002010-01-24T11:36:55.870-05:00This does sound nice, and I love the wine pairing....This does sound nice, and I love the wine pairing.Tasty Trixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583301157540398839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916730573684015784.post-77050002260285605112010-01-24T11:07:59.366-05:002010-01-24T11:07:59.366-05:00Love the Amaretto touch!!!Love the Amaretto touch!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916730573684015784.post-67623343695420692902010-01-24T10:52:03.029-05:002010-01-24T10:52:03.029-05:00So in love with winter soups right now...thanks fo...So in love with winter soups right now...thanks for the recipe.
