[Sca-cooks] Verjus

[Naquiba Katira al-Maghrebiyya]

Yes, the Navarro verjus is quite drinkable when
chilled.  They serve it in the tasting room along with
their wonderful grape juices.  All are great for
non-drinkers and dry sites.  The other brands I have
gotten in the past are more tart and can't be drunk
straight.  I feel they are more like the true verjus
would have been for use in cooking.  There is an
imported one from France (tres expensive!!) that I
don't really recommend.  The other local one (Napa
Valley Verjus Company) may or may not still be
producing verjus.  I get mixed inputs from various
sources.  It used to come in an asceptic resealable
container that was very handy.

I am hoping to make a trek to Philo and stock up on
the verjus and grape juices.  It is due west of Ukiah
and the drive though twisty and slow is very scenic.

I have also ordered by mail and I now use the foam
shipping cases in my cellar.
