found a new version of a favorite song you didn’t
know you’d like or a new favorite altogether.

The Chilean wine surprised and impressed me.
Viña San Pedro’s 1865 Chardonnay was only about
$15 a bottle and had many of the characteristics I
like in Chardonnay wine. It had an appetizing golden
yellow color and grapefruit, peach and apple flavors
along with nutty flavors from aging in oak. It was crisp,
a bit tart, nectar-like, and nicely balanced — that is, the
wine’s scents, tastes and smooth texture came together
nicely. Really tasty, it complemented an assortment of
cheeses and a barbecued chicken dinner.
Hess and Kendall-Jackson wines are familiar California
wine producers that make wines at reasonable prices. The
Walt Chardonnay is from a smaller winery connected with
Hall Napa Valley, a large producer of premium Cabernet
Sauvignon wines. At about $10 a bottle, Hess’s Select
Chardonnay is a basic inexpensive Chardonnay. It had pear,
green apple and light oak flavors with a matching color

of light yellow with a greenish hue. It was dry, crisp, >>>

For a Burgundy, I chose Chablis, because it has
a unique profile that’s not what you expect if the
Chardonnay wine you’re used to is mainly from
California. Also, Chablis is available and affordable in
good wine stores, and it drinks well with lighter and
some spicy foods, especially fish and shellfish, including
sushi.

Chablis wines are made entirely from Chardonnay
grapes, not unlike their Californian and Chilean
counterparts. However, grapes for Chablis are grown
in chalky soils in the coolest, northernmost part of
Burgundy. Chablis is usually made in steel tanks with
little or no exposure to new oak. As a result, Chablis
is usually light, citrusy and bracingly crisp. It also
has the mineral or earthy accents found in many
Burgundy whites. Basic Chablis wines don’t have
the toasty, smoky hints or “buttery” feel common to
many Californian and Chilean Chardonnay wines
that have extended contact with new oak. Good
Chablis wines enable us to taste Chardonnay wine in
a pure and elegant way — like listening to a favorite
tune performed simply and enjoyably without much
embellishment.

The two Chablis wines I tried were like that:
delightful, direct, refreshing and interesting. Sainte
Claire, in the $17-20 range, is the least expensive of
Brocard’s Chablis wines. It was pale yellow and had
lemon and lime scents. It tasted crisp and bracing
with a beam of lemon-lime along with apple and light
honey flavors. No trace of oak…just unadorned Chablis
magic at a great price, Some other Chablis names in
this category are Fevre, Jadot, Moreau and Pascal
Bouchard.

I was unfamiliar with the Pommier Chablis and
bought it for its price point — about $25-30 — and
its Premier Cru status, meaning the wine’s grapes
came from a specially designated Chablis area with
higher quality grape vines. There also are even higher
quality vineyards in Chablis designated Grand Cru
whose grapes make very expensive Chablis wines.
The Pommier, like many Premier Cru Chablis, was
aged briefly with new oak, giving it more texture and
pronounced fruit flavors than the Brocard. Tart and
racy, this wine was a real pleasure to drink.

In the next column of Enjoying Wine, I’ll talk about
the tasting of Pinot Noir wines proposed in my July
column. There’s still time to send comments on the
California, Oregon and French Burgundy wines you

It wasn’t until recently that we decided to
take our newfound interest in cooking to the next

level. We scheduled a class at Sur la Table — a cooking
store in Mizner Park that has a full teaching kitchen with
a packed schedule of classes. There’s savory classes, such
as: “Thai Street Food,” “Secrets of Paella,” “Weeknight
Dinners,” “Perfect French Crepes,” “Steakhouse-
Style Burgers” and “Spanish Tapas.” Then there’s the
sweet, such as “No-Churn Ice Cream” and “Bakeshop
Fundamentals.” There’s classes for teens, children, wine
lovers and a ladies night out.

We chose “Thai Street Food” because A) I love Thai
food; and B) the one time I attempted to cook a Thai-style
curry, I failed miserably, leaving a gigantic pot of pasty,
spicy, inedible gunk. To my credit, I tried hard. I added
a little of this, a little of that, more kick, a splash of that,
and, before I knew it, had concocted something that could
feed a family of ten (if only it was edible). At Sur la Table,
under the professional instruction of Chef Jerimiah
Liburidi, I figured I could have a bit more success.

A New Gated
Townhouse Community
in Lighthouse Point

BY MARIE PULEO
70 LIGHTHOUSE POINT | lhpmag.com

The grassy lot on the southwest
corner of NE 23rd Avenue
(Lighthouse Drive) and NE 39th
Street — two of the city’s main thoroughfares
— has stood vacant for five years, but plans are
underway for the construction of a 12-unit gated
townhouse community.
The city’s Planning and Zoning Board approved the
site plan for the two-story townhouse project at a special
meeting in June. It will be the first new construction of
townhouses in Lighthouse Point in 10 years.
The developer behind the project is Adam Adache,
managing partner of Cavache Properties, based in
Pompano Beach. Once the site plan was given the green
light, the company was able to close on the sale of the
property, paying $1.4 million to J&L Holdings of South
Florida LLC, which had owned the land since 2012. Four
buildings with four rental units each once occupied the
site, but were demolished in March 2013.
“We are thrilled to be able to build on the last vacant
parcel of this size in Lighthouse Point,” said Adache.
Two buildings with six townhouses each will be built on
the site, which is just under one acre, and has the address
of 3870 NE 22nd Way.
Each building will have four three-bedroom units, and
two end units with four bedrooms. They will range in size
from 2,002 square feet to 2,480 square feet, with prices
expected to start at $765,000.
According to the site plan, each unit will have large
second-story covered balconies and a ground floor
patio area with a splash pool. The pools will be situated
streetside – in one building they will face Lighthouse
Drive, and in the other they will face NE 22nd Way.
There will be a privacy wall around the perimeter of the
property, as well as between each unit.
Each unit will also have a two-car garage to be used
for parking only. In addition, there will be five guest
parking spaces on site and five on-street parking
spaces along NE 22nd Way. The project had originally
proposed parallel parking on Lighthouse Drive and
NE 39th Street, but the city had concerns about
traffic safety and congestion.
The entrance to the property will be on NE 22nd
Way, and will have an automatic swing gate. An
exit with a sliding gate will be on NE 39th Street,
where vehicles coming out of the property will
be able to make a right turn only, and head
toward the traffic light at the Lighthouse
Drive intersection.

Bill Gallo, a member of the Planning and Zoning Board,
said the project is superior to the submittals that have
been presented in the past.
Currently, Cavache Properties is also developing Old

Pompano Beach’s historic downtown area, and 30 Thirty

between in Lighthouse Point. The most recent include
the 80-unit Vintage at Lighthouse Point along Federal
Highway that was completed in 2008, and an eight-unit
development on NE 22nd Way that was completed in 2009.
The lack of new townhouses “creates a very high
demand for this type of product,” said Adache. Y
