by Mara Hernandez-Capili

Italy is the country known for its good taste, fine gourmet, romantic places and great Italian cheeses. We are knowledgeable of Mozzarella and Parmesan- two great cheese varieties that only came from Italy. Italy is agreat city to be it is even one of my "must-go to" travel destinations. Apart from all of these there is still one reason why you should love Italy and this: the Italian cheese and wine combo.

At New York, New York there is a festival that will celebrate the wine and cheese of Italy. The festival is entitled: "The Wine & Cheese of Italy: Off the Beaten Path." The festival will feature 8 different kinds of wine and 6 different kinds of cheeses. These varainats will be the examples for the wine and cheese tasting class. The event will feature two respecatble persons on the industry: Dilek Caner and Chris Munsey.

Caner will introduce the fine grape variety of Italy that makes their wine taste so good. Munsey on the other hand will discuss the concept of artisanal cheeses and how they differ to commercially produced cheeses. One interesting class that Munsey likes to talk about in his class is the art of Cheese tasting. Munsey on the other hand will give lectures on the concept of artisanal cheeses and how they differ with commercially produce cheese variations.

Basically you can pair cheese and wine depending on their taste. It is likely that a wine can be paired up with a cheese from the same region that it's made. Also, soft and light cheeses are usually paired with light and white wines. Heavier, darker and nuttier flavor of cheese is great to compare with darker and bolder wines. The general guide is Light to light .

A Cheese clock is a cheese plate that is fun to place together. It is achieved through putting different types of cheeses on a huge plate following a quadrant which houses the 4 types of cheeses. Start your cheese clock from the bottom or the 6 o clock quadrant and work your way up, gradually increasing the boldness and heaviness of the cheese.

Chili peppers have a chemical component known as Capsaicin which is responsible for the chilis hot taste. Capsaicin in a one piece of chili can be washed down by gulping down a glass of milk. Milk is the perfect neutralizer of capsaicin since compounds found in milk blocks the receptors of capsaicin. Water wont really do the trick. There are many variations of chili pepper and these are: habanero, jalapeno, cayennes, tabasco, etc. Chili peppers are further subdivided into three categories namely: sweet peppers, hot peppers and bell peppers.

A Beer-y Special Day in Arizona

by Mercie Hallow

A bottle of beer is oftentimes considered as a mans drink. Some says that beer is a real machos drink. Beer commercials nowadays feature an oh-so-lucky guy with a drop dead gorgeous goddess for a companion and a luxury car to complete the backdrop. A very lucky guy indeed but that is how beer is marketed nowadays: the drink of a real man.

Beers are manufactured in a manufacturing plant called brewery. They are processed through brewing where the two main ingredients (water and malt) are mixed together in a huge machine. The starch in the mixture is then broken down to sugar and transformed to an alcoholic drink through fermentation process with the help of yeast.

Beer festivals are much awaited events by fun loving people. Beer festivals often showcase beer tasting portions, beer bazaars, live bands, fun and exciting games. There are certain rules that need to be followed in attending these events though. Adults over the age of 21 are only allowed to enter which is always backed up by an ID. Pets and firearms are banned from the festival.

The Great Arizona Festival is an annual beer festival where proceeds will go to the Arizona Sun Sounds, a media arm of the state of Arizona for visually challenged/ impaired individuals. The Arizona Sun Sounds is a radio channel that features useful present information for people who have disability in seeing current issues over the papers.

The Great Arizona Beer festival also has a special place for drivers who do not drink just so they could drive home safely. They are being regarded in the festival as conscientious individuals. To make the drivers stay at the festival fun and worthy, the special place allotted for them has its own music, kiosks and fun events too. This is so that these drivers can enjoy their stay too.
