Christopher Uhde Stops By To Talk About Primator Beer!
The rights for beer brewing were given to the town of Náchod many centuries ago. The times when beer was brewed in burgess houses were finished by the decision to built the town's brewery. This decision was adopted at meeting of the town representatives on June 30th, 1871. The construction of the brewery was started immediately the following year and just two years later the citizens of Náchod tasted the beer from the first production. The popularity of beer of Náchod was continuously growing, therefore in the years 1925 till 1930 the brewery was enlarged. A new brewhouse was built and 7 year later the first beer brewed there was bottled.Recently an extensive reconstruction was made in the brewery and now with its technology it ranks among the most up-to-date breweries in the country. The brewhouse has been reconstructed, new lager storage cellars and storage halls have been built. A new top filling line for the bottled beer and cask beer has been installed in the new production hall. The recent equipment enables to produce beer using classic technology proved by centuries, so characteristic for Czech beer. Therefore beer meets high international quality requirements and also keeps its characteristic taste.
Primátor beer is produced from the Czech first-quality raw materials using the technology of bottom fermentation; the malt is from South Moravia, the hops come from Žatec region and top-quality water is from natural preserve of Adršpach -Teplice Rocks - Protected Landscape Area Broumovsko. The beer is of full and relish taste without any secondary taste, it leaves a feeling of pleasant on tongue, slowly disappearing bitterness without any rough and astringent touch. An advantage of Primátor is its long durability and long-lasting visual quality and unchanging taste.
PRIMÁTOR brand keeps its top quality continuously for a long time. Not only a number of medals and prizes gained on various prestigious fairs, exhibitions and competitions (in the Czech Republic and also abroad), but also the fact that the brewery exports a part of its production abroad to the customers in Great Britain, Hong Kong, Germany, Russia, Israel, Switzerland, Sweden and Italy is an evidence of a very good tradition of Náchod´s brewery.
We're Tasting the Cheesier Side of Los Angeles with Michele Grant From The Grilled Cheese Truck!
Inspiration happens when you least expect it! What started as a fun, weekend activity to enter the Cheesy Mac and Rib Melt into LA's 7th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational quickly became the idea behind The Grilled Cheese Truck. After seeing the masses of grilled cheese fanatics gathered to pay homage to their favorite childhood (and adult!) comfort food, Dave Danhi & Michele Grant realized that this world needed more grilled cheese sandwiches brought to the streets. Not just the classic bread, butter and cheese, but amazing creations that are constructed with the best ingredients, local produce and made with nothing but love.

Let's Take a Ride Down The Russian River Valley to Beautiful Benovia Winery with Winemaker Mike Sullivan!
Ben Dewane and Novian Anderson never met, yet they raised their children with similar old-fashioned values. Hard work brings its own rewards, they would say. Be the best at what you do. Surround yourself with good people, and let them get to work. And never, ever produce anything that wouldn't make you proud. With such similar family backgrounds, it's no wonder Joe Anderson and Mary Dewane would eventually find each other and marry. Together, they began a journey that led them to found a winery that would make them, and their fathers, proud--proud enough that their label pays homage to the two men, Benovia. Their journey also inspired them to assemble the best possible team of respected winemaking veterans. They recruited Bob Mosby as general manager and found the perfect partner in Mike Sullivan, one of northern California's top winemakers, and someone who shares their passions. With Mike as co-owner and responsible for the wine making, they recruited Daniel Roberts as winegrower and viticulturalist, and Tucker Catlin as vineyard development director. Then they brought on Tina Alves as operations manager, Chris Kangas as vineyards manager, and Nick Finarelli as Enologist to bring even more depth to the winery's operations. They are good people, and together they make an even better team: a team of accomplished professionals with more than 150 years of collective experience producing some of California's best wines. "At Benovia, our team is an extension of an extraordinary family," says Joe, "a family that eats, drinks, and breathes a lifelong passion for wine." That passion led to the purchase of the renowned Cohn Vineyard atop a mountain near Healdsburg, where the couple lives, and led to a new winery in the heart of the Russian River Valley. The journey will continue with an exciting new Pinot Noir vineyard near Freestone, and the Martaella ranch (named after Joe and Mary's mothers), surrounding the winery itself. Joe and Mary have invested in all the right things to make Benovia flourish-vineyards with unique terroir and a well equipped winery. But their most important investment is people.
