What starts at Noon today…of course it’s The Good Life, but it’s also the start of Saturday in-store wine tasting at Jacob liquor Exchange. That’s where I’ll be Saturday doing the show LIVE from the North Rock Road location.
First up is Wine Director Jamie Stratton to talk about what’s new on the shelves at Jacob, why you need to be on the Jacob Liquor email list, follow them on Facebook and come to the store for the FREE in store product tastings.
We’ll tell you all about the wine, beer and spirits available for tasting July 21st, including the Beers of the Week!
Then joining me from Beaver Creek Colorado is Chef Daniel Joly; Belgiun Master Chef and owner of Mirabelle, one of the top restaurants in Colorado and a shinning star of Beaver Creek. I had the pleasure of tasting some of Chef Joly’s beer friendly food paired with some of the finest beers from Belgium.
Chef Joly has a cookbook titled “Danniel Joly – Not Just Another Cookbook” – and boy that’s an understatement.
Belgian born Master Chef Daniel Joly graduated from the Culinary Institute of Brussels in 1986. He trained at the best tables of renowned Belgian restaurants, such at Comme Chez Soi and Barbizon. After a short stop in South Carolina Daniel arrived in Beaver Creek as chef- manager for Mirabelle Restaurant in 1992. He and his wife Nathalie purchased Mirabelle in April 1999, Mirabelle and chef Joly’s unique cooking style have been acclaimed by numerous publications and institutions such as Wine Spectator, the James Beard House, Zagat, Mobile (four stars), Ski Magazine and Bon Appetit, to mention just a few. Chef Joly also hosts the popular “Something’s Cooking with Daniel” onVail‘s TV8.
Good Life Guy & Chef Joly
Chef Joly is a certified Belgian Master Chef and takes great pride in his work but if you ask him what gives him the most satisfaction of all his awards and accomplishments he will simply say that awards and peer recognition are great but a customer complimenting him for a great dining experience is the best of all “That what keeps me going, I enjoy making guests happy…That is why I love cooking and what I do”.
