Pg. 453:  The best tequila--called _reposado_--spends a few months in a large redwood tank that gives it a golden tinge and added taste complexity.  One notable _reposado_ tequila is Cuervo Especial--the bestselling "gold" tequila in this country, where it costs about $10 a bottle.

All brands of tequila sold in Ontario have been pulled from liquor store shelves after tests showed some bottles of each contained glass particles.

Jack Ackroyd, chairman of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), said new tests were ordered when it was learned all tequilas in Ontario come from the same source.

The tests found bits of glass in several bottles of Olmeca and Cuervo Especial Gold tequilas. Included in the recall is Hornitos Reposado. Tequila Sauza Silver was recalled last week, followed by Tequila Sauza Gold, when glass was discovered in some bottles. All bottles can be returned for full refunds.

Q.  I have a recipe for veal shanks Italian style that calls for gremolata.  Would you please tell me what this is and how I can obtain it?
A.  Gremolata, or gremolada, is a flavorful garnish used chiefly for ossobuco or baked veal shanks in Italy.  It consists of finely chopped garlic, persley and grated lemon grind.  This is generally added toward or at the end of cooking time.  It gives an excellent and characteristic zest to the dish.  If there are other uses for the blend, I am not aware of them.
