After obtaining his Ph.D. in Italian literature at U.C.L.A. in 1997, Jeremy Parzen moved to New York City where he shifted his focus to food and wine. By 1998, he was the chief wine writer for the English-language edition of La Cucina Italiana. In 2005, he published his annotated translation of Maestro Martino's 15th century cookery book, The Art of Cooking (University of California Press). In 2007, he launched his blog DoBianchi.com (named after the Venetian expression for two glasses of white wine). Since that time, he has published countless articles on Italian food and wine, including bylines for publications like Decanter and Wine and Spirits, which named him a "Master of Place" in 2017. Known for his humanist perspective onto the world of Italian enogastronomy, he works as wine and restaurant industry consultant from his home office in Houston, where he and his wife Tracie (a native Texan) are raising their two daughters. A former rock musician and songwriter, Jeremy continues to compose and record music with and for his family. He was honored to be named an Italian Association of Wine Merchants ambassador in 2018 for his "profound scholarship in the humanities, his great knowledge of winemaking, and his excellence in communications." Thanksgiving's behind us and Christmas and New Year's Eve are right around the corner.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
If you can't be with the Moscato d'Asti you love, love the Moscato d'Asti you're with.
Why we always have a bottle of Moscato d’Asti in the fridge (and why you should too)
Jeremy Parzen - Do you know anyone who doesn't like Moscato d'Asti?
Without the "G", it means that you're not getting sparkling Moscato from the leading appellation for sparkling Moscato.
The golden color of Moscato d'Asti is the color of celebration par excellence.
In English, the word bubbly is commonly used to refer to sparkling wine in general.
Why is it that we reach for bubbly wine when we are going to celebrate? Why is sparkling wine a "special occasion" wine?
O wait, you had me at breakfast wine! Do you drink wine for breakfast?
I'm certainly not the only American wine professional who thinks Moscato d'Asti is an ideal pairing for the heat and wide range of flavors you find in Mexican cuisine.
