The Perfect Paella Palmaz | Florencia Palmaz | EXCERPTED from At the Table & Around the Fire

In Spain, paella refers to the wide, shallow pan in which you cook this traditional rice dish. It can be prepared either on brasas (coals) or on the stove. At the winery, we either suspend the pan above the fire pit or use a portable propane stove as the heat source. Whether you are preparing for four or 40 people, this dish takes just 40 minutes to prepare.

The Wine Stream – Gravity

Episode 10 | May 27, 2020 | Special Guest Dr Julio Palmaz

This week, Dr. Julio Palmaz returns to dive deep on how gravity flow winemaking inspired the unique 18-story design of Palmaz Winery! This will surely be an interesting and exciting episode as we recall one of the most ambitious and technically challenging feats in winery architecture. We also taste the ’13, ’14, and ’15 Palmaz Cabernet vertical.

The Palmaz Gougéres | Florencia Palmaz | EXCERPTED from At the Table & Around the Fire

At the winery we don’t have the time to make small batches of pâte à choux every hour as guests arrive. However, there’s nothing more divine than gougères fresh out of the oven. Our secret solution is to make the dough coins and freeze them ahead of time. That way we can pop the amount we need in the oven without any fuss just as guests arrive. You can easily do the same at home.
