  • Gastronomy of Salamanca
    gastronomy of Salamanca 1 Salamanca is a province to enjoy with all your sen- ses, including your taste buds. The province has an excellent and varied range of raw produce, with some well-known, quality products among them. Iberian ham and cold cuts, beef, pulses, hornazo, cheese and wines are some of the most traditional ones, which in the hands of master chefs, become succulent dishes. Come, look, try and taste the varied, delicious menu that Salamanca has prepared for you. 2 His Majesty the Iberian Pig The Iberian pig is a unique, fascinating breed of un- questionable quality, which puts the Salamanca pro- vince as an international benchmark. Its pedigree, along with the long walks in search for food, are responsible for the trademark infiltrated fat, which results in its flavour, its aroma and juici- ness, as well as its health benefits, since this fat is high in oleic acids. This pig lives free in the Salamanca dehesa, an id- yllic environment where, between October and February, it enjoys the best, final fattening seasons when it is fed only with acorns. 3 Guijuelo and the neighbouring counties Talking about Iberian produce is talking about Guijuelo, a unique place with a climate and conditions that are ideal for curing hams of all sorts as well as cold cuts. The long, cold, dry winters, along with its moody winds and humid conditions, mean that less salt is required for the curing process. This enables their flavours, aromas and uniqueness to be expressed in a much more natural way. And although Guijuelo is the heart of the pork product manufacturing in Salamanca, the actual production area includes other municipalities, some as well known as La Alberca, Béjar, Candelario or San Martín del Castañar.

  • And Cabernet Franc Is the Star
    CAN WE BE FRANC? THE HUDSON VALLEY PREPARES FOR ITS CLOSE-UP —AND CABERNET FRANC IS THE STAR. Amy Zavatto he verdant, hilly climes of the Hudson Valley are known and praised for many things. The beauty of its rolling, roiling namesake river; its famed mid-nineteenth century naturalist art movement; its acres of multi-generational fruit orchards and dairy farms; T and, lately, as the celebrated place of culinary inspiration for chefs like Dan Barber and Zak Palaccio. But while these lands, just ninety minutes shy of New York City’s northern border, can claim the country’s oldest, continually operating vineyards and oldest declared winery, the cult of wine has yet to become the calling card of the region’s lore and allure. That might be about to change. 4 HUDSON VALLEY WINE • Summer 2016 Cabernet Franc, that beautiful, black French grape variety well known for its role in both legendary Right Bank Bordeaux and Loire Valley wines, is proving to be oh-so much more than a liquidy lark here. Not only does the grape seem well at home in the Hudson Valley’s cool-climate terroir, but collective work done between the area’s grape growers, winemakers, and Cornell University have tamed many of the conundrums that once plagued producers who yearned for success with vinifera. Now, with a force borne of a few decades of trial, error, and recent promising success, Hudson Valley vintners are ready (and more than able) to stick a flag in the ground for Franc. DIGGING DOWN “I’m of Dutch-German descent; I’m not big on failure,” laughs a region express itself with the kind of purity that wins critical Doug Glorie, who with his wife and partner, MaryEllen, opened acknowledgment.

Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.
