For All Our Fine Wine Friends….

From AllEars.net

 "Wine Walk" at Epcot.

 For $20 you can purchase a passport at the France, Germany or Italy wine shops. The passport allows you to taste six different wines (two per country). The passport lists the two specific wines in each country. What is unique about the Wine Walk is that you do not have to use the whole passport in one trip. You can try a few and then save the rest for a future trip if you like. Each wine is a two-ounce pour.

Disney Legend Art Linkletter ----

---- has passed away at the age of 97. Linkletter’s career started on radio in 1944 and then he made the move to TV in the 50s and 60s. A close friend of Walt Disney, Linkletter was the live television host for the opening ceremony at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. He also hosted the 1959 television special for Disneyland’s first ‘New Tomorrowland’.

Since opening Disneyland left Walt Disney nearly broke, he was unable to pay Linkletter anything more than scale wages for his job as TV host. But Linkletter, ever the savvy businessman, asked for and received the rights to sell camera film and flashbulbs for the first 5-10 years of the park.

In many ways Art Linkletter and his family was the first Disneyland fan. He had one of the first Gold Passes issued and spent a lot of time at the parks with his family.

The 1960 Winter Olympics featured another partnership between Disney and Art Linkletter. Disney had been asked to organize the opening ceremonies. Of course, he called on his friend to be the vice president of entertainment for the Olympics.

In 2005 Linkletter was inducted as Disney Legend.

The Assistant To A “Top Executive” ----

----at Walt Disney Co., and another person were charged by federal prosecutors on Wednesday in an insider trading scheme. According to an indictment by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, in an effort to convince potential partners of the value of their information, the two defendants allegedly told a federal agent posing as a stock trader that Disney is planning to sell its ABC television unit. Disney denied any plans to sell ABC.  MORE….(Thanks Cindy!)

Disney Cruise Line has its sixth captain, ----

----Marco Nogara, a 24-year maritime veteran from Venice, Italy. He served most recently as a captain aboard Carnival cruise ships and has experience in the ship-building process – which is certain to come in handy for Disney's two new ships that are currently under construction, the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Over the next few months, Nogara will become familiar with the shipboard and shoreside operations at Disney and will eventually find his new home aboard one of the Disney ships as Master in December.

Disney’s Private Island in the Bahamas ----

---- Castaway Cay, is in the midst of being enhanced. The additional island amenities are scheduled to be complete by summer 2010. Guests can slide and splash at a new water feature called Pelican Plunge. The 2,400-square-foot floating platform, located within swimming distance from shore, celebrates the island's native pelicans. Two water slides -- an enclosed corkscrew slide and a 140-foot-long open slide -- end with a splash into the lagoon, and a giant "bucket dump" delivers hundreds of gallons of water, soaking guests. Four water cannons provide sharp-shooting fun with floating nautical targets approximately 20 feet away.

Your Land of Mickey Recipe :

Lit yet? (The Grill!!!) Well, get it goin’ – and keep it hot!!

Chicken and Prosciutto Roll-Ups

Another from Disney’s Vero Beach Resort

Ingredients:

·   1/4 cup dry white wine

·   2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

·   4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total)

·   4 thin slices prosciutto (about 1 ounce total), trimmed of fat

·   2 ounces fontina cheese, thinly sliced

·   1/2 of a 7-ounce jar roasted red sweet peppers, cut into thin strips (about 1/2 cup)

·   Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions:   

1.   For sauce, in a small bowl combine wine and the 2 teaspoons fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Set aside.

2.   Place a chicken piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken lightly into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

3.   Place a slice of prosciutto and one-fourth of the cheese on each chicken piece. Arrange one-fourth of the roasted pepper strips on cheese near bottom edge of chicken. Starting from bottom edge, roll up jelly-roll style; secure with wooden toothpicks. (At this point, chicken may be individually wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 4 hours.)

4.   Grill chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 15 to 17 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning to cook evenly and brushing twice with sauce. Garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired.

Makes 4 servings. ******************************************
