VIII maltatoday, SUNDAY, 15 MARCH 2015 Food Mouton Cadet Ryder Cup - Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Bordeaux - France Official Supplier to The European Tour Mouton Cadet – the world's leading Bordeaux AOC wine, became a member of the prestigious family of Ryder Cup sponsors, confirming its commitment to golf. Sharing the same values and "etiquette", Hugues Lechanoine, Managing Director of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Paul McGinley, Captain of The Ryder Cup European Team, expressed their ambition to create an exclusive Mouton Cadet wine especially dedicated to the event. A combination of outstanding terroir and the passion of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988), Mouton Cadet, an expressive and seductive wine, has embodied quality, prestige and savoir-faire since its creation in 1930. THE MOUTON CADET SÉLECTION RYDER CUP will be a unique wine displaying the prestigious competition's logo. This limited edition, made in collaboration with Paul McGinley, is already revealed. I am honoured to be working on this limited edition. Mouton Cadet and The Ryder Cup share the same values of tradition, elegance and conviviality," said Paul McGinley. Hugues Lechanoine said: "It is a significant partnership. In the same way that The Ryder Cup brings together the finest golfers, we select grapes from the finest parcels to create this limited edition. I would especially like to thank Paul McGinley for his personal involvement in making this wine". Exclusively imported by Charles Grech & Co.

However, escaping the devil's grasp is difficult, with hidden fats and sugars in almost everything we buy at the supermarket. When dining out, this becomes even more difficult as it is impossible to know exactly which ingredients are being used in the dishes you order. Grandma seemed to have it right, preparing dishes with whatever came out of the earth – fresh and seasonal, that is, what most health experts are advocating today. Tal-Petut, in a 16th century townhouse in the heart of Birgu, is bringing back grandma's traditions, preparing each dish with local seasonal produce which is sourced daily and freshly prepared within hours of purchase. No microwaves, no fryers and no indus- trial ovens, everything is slow cooked, using preserves made by Tal-Petut themselves. Flavoured oils, fruit compotes, chilli pastes, sun-dried tomatoes – these all give the food at Tal-Petut a unique flavour, and also make great take-home gifts you will want to keep for yourself. In keeping with the homey at- mosphere, you can book the entire restaurant for a special occasion, to really make you feel right at home. The home setting allows patrons to have the premises reserved for them- selves and friends, for the planned private occasion creating the right atmosphere for any event. The house consists of dining areas, and a bar where one can relax with friends prior to dining. Also strolling outside admiring a unique historical Callachio street. Discuss the menu with chef Donald to create a unique menu tailor-made for your needs of that very occasion. If that's not enough, the friendly staff will recommend wines from the extensive wine list to perfectly match the items chosen in the menu to ensure the perfect marriage of flavours. Tal-Petut caters for groups ranging from couples to larger sittings planned to clients' wishes as to meet all require- ments hosting guests within a typical restored 16th century house reflecting Maltese hospitality. If you're looking for something different try Tal-Petut for a variety of occasions, ranging from private dining functions, wine tasting events or cooking classes.
