Oct 28 – Three Sisters Meats – Chorizo
My first guest this week is Jamie Fernandez, founder of Three Sisters Meats – Spanish Style Chorizo, a premium producer of Chorizo here in the USA. Later I’ll be talking to Philip James, founder and CEO of Firstleaf.com about their new wine app “Pocket Sommelier.”
Three Sisters’ founder, Jaime Fernandez, started making chorizo with his family as a child. The recipe has been passed down through generations, tracing 200 years to a village near León. Once Fernandez realized that he had something special to share with the world, he spent years perfecting the U.S.-based curing and packaging process. Today, Three Sisters is an award-winning chorizo brand that balances rapid growth with a dedication to quality and tradition.
Three Sisters chorizo is the most authentic recipe on the U.S. market, featuring chorizo’s defining flavor, pimentón, a fiery red pepper from the province of Extremadura. Pimentón gives Spanish chorizo its distinctive color, smell, and, most importantly, taste, enlivening gatherings big and small.
Three Sisters’ dry-cured chorizo is made from a multigenerational family recipe using only 100% sustainably raised pork and nine all-natural ingredients. Three Sisters’ chorizo has a 350-day guaranteed shelf life, is certified nitrite/nitrate free, certified gluten-free, dairy and nut free, and does not contain sugar, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Three Sisters’ chorizo is a clean-label, USDA-approved product, using the highest-quality craftsmanship to make a uniquely delicious and versatile product that can be the focal point of a charcuterie board or incorporated into a variety of dishes. Soon, they will redefine the category with chorizo snack bites, chorizo snack sticks, and a line of traditional Northern Spanish embutidos. www.3sistersmeats.com

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2016 El Domador de Valle Reserva, Rioja Spain
Some lovely classic aromas of baked red berry fruits and fragrant spices, dark plums and cherries, some leather and five spice, whisps of dried herb and a clay or baked clay earthy quality. Equally classic on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet along with a dried spice phonlic quality, an abundance of chalky tannins and medium acid level. A great drink for after dinner or with simple fare such as beef short-rib and vegetables. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2026+. ABV13.5% Wine Enthusiast 92

“I wanted to do something that would last long after my presence is gone and add a degree of beauty to the world around me. This quest has brought a new passion to my life, the incredible experience of working with woods. Such feelings pushed me into the grace of curves and flow, not normally found in wood designs. Hopefully, my passion and grace in design will ignite a fire of emotion in all who take time to “see through my eyes”.
