UWilliam Goldring. I-Understated New Orleans Philanthropist.

Kuyamangaza lokho abantu abahlakaniphile abanezinhloso ezinhle abangakwenza ukukhulisa ezokuvakasha. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, i-New Orleans yaxoxwa ngokudabuka nezinyembezi namaqembu ahawukelayo. Sazibuza ukuthi lo mbukiso wabavakashi obusezingeni eliphezulu ungaphinde ubuyelwe kanjani. Kusukela kuZenzo zikaNkulunkulu, kuya kwezombusazwe ezimbi ngendlela emangalisayo, kwakubukeka sengathi inkazimulo yaseNew Orleans yayizoba isifundo somlando wezifundiswa. Abaculi beCulinary, gourmets, gourmands, nama-oenophiles kwakuzodingeka bathande lokho abakuthandayo kwenye indawo… I-New Orleans yayingaseyona inketho.

Ngenhlanhla idolobha elimemezela ukuthi “Maziqhubeke Izikhathi Ezinhle” alizange liwuzwe umsindo wokulila wabantu bangaphandle. Osomabhizinisi nabaholi bezombangazwe bazicosha emfucumfucwini yaseKatrina futhi bakha idolobha eliwubukhazikhazi eligcwele ukudla okumnandi, iwayini elimnandi, ukuthenga okuhle, iminyuziyamu ethokozisayo, kanye ne-joie-de-vivre ehlala isebusweni bakho. Izingane ezigijima emigwaqweni nasezindaweni zokungcebeleka emahhotela ziyajabula; abazali bajabule; futhi abantu abadala bahamba bejabule emigwaqweni, bebambene ngezandla, beqabulana ngeziphuzo, futhi bejabule kuze kube ngakusasa ekuseni.

Lolu chungechunge lwesishiyagalombili ochungechungeni olunezingxenye eziningi, "Ukuthatha Kwami I-New Orleans," ngethemba, lizothwebula enye intokozo eyenza i-New Orleans ibe indawo ekhethwa ngokuzithandela hhayi ngenhlanhla.

UWilliam Goldring. I-Understated New Orleans Philanthropist.

I-New Orleans Wine and Food Experience (unyaka wama-20) isanda kuhlonipha u-Bill Goldring ngokupha kwakhe okubaluleke ngendlela emangalisayo ngokumethula ngendondo ye-Ella Brennan Lifetime Achievement Award. Kungenzeka ukuthi yethulwe kusenesikhathi njengoba uGoldring eneminyaka engu-69 ebonakala engenazo izinhlelo zokulengisa amabhuzu akhe nokudlala igalofu ingunaphakade.

Nakuba imithombo yezindaba eminingi ikhomba u-Goldring njengomuntu onamahloni, ngimthole enguvemvane kakhulu kunomphakathi. Unemininingwane egciniwe yolwazi olumangalisayo mayelana nemboni yotshwala (kufanele ngabe, yena nomndeni wakhe sebeneminyaka engaphezu kweyi-100 ebhizinisini), umuzwa ocushwe kahle wobuciko nomlando wobuciko (ikakhulukazi njengoba uhlobene neNew Orleans kanye ingxenye eseningizimu ye-United States), nobuhlobo obufudumele, obucishe bube bukayise, nezisebenzi zakhe. Udelela kangangokuthi uyaziphindisela yena izingcingo, uzigcinele eyakhe ikhalenda futhi uzishayela eyakhe imoto.

Ukusho ukuthi lo usozigidi unesizotha kungaba ukunganaki. Ukube angizange ngenze ucwaningo ngemvelaphi yakhe nezinkampani ezithuthukayo aziphethe, bengizomthatha njengesikhulu senkampani esibamba iqhaza elincane ekuphumeleleni kwenhlangano yakhe. Kuyathakazelisa ikakhulukazi, kuleli dolobha “eliphezulu kakhulu” ngokudla kwalo, iwayini, umculo, nomlando, kangangokuthi uGoldring, nomuntu wakhe osewathatha umhlalaphansi, ungena ngokunethezeka esidlweni sakusihlwa esisemthethweni (ngokuhlonishwa kwakhe), futhi kanye nokujabula ngokuba “ngesinye sezihambeli” kumaphathi angakahleleki aphethwe ekhaya. Ngokungafani namanye ama-philanthropists (okungukuthi, uDonald Trump), i-Goldring ayidingi ukuba isikhungo sokunakwa. Impela uyakujabulela ukugqama, kodwa uphana ngendlela emangalisayo ekwabelaneni nabanye.

Lapho emukela umklomelo ka-Ella Brennan, uGoldring wacaphuna uMark Twain, “Ukudla kwaseNew Orleans kumnandi njengezinhlobo zezono ezincane zobugebengu,” noJulie Childs, “Umzimba wakho awulona ithempeli; iyipaki yokuzijabulisa, ngakho-ke yigibele kahle.”

Izimali eziqoqwe ngesidlo sakusihlwa kanye nemicimbi yewayini nokudla inikelwa ku-Second Harvest Food Bank kanye nezinhlelo ezihlukahlukene zemfundo zokupheka.

Ela Brennan

UBrennan ungumuntu ohlonishwayo embonini yokudlela yaseNew Orleans. Umndeni wakhe usebenzisa izindawo zokudlela eziyishumi nambili, okuhlanganisa ne-Commander's Palace, ethathwa njengephezulu kakhulu yokudlela. Utuswe ngokwethula ukudla kwe-nouvelle Creole, okuphakamise ukupheka kwe-Louisiana futhi kwakunikeza isisekelo emhlabeni wonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinga lakhe lesevisi lidale ukuzizwisa kwezokudlela osekuyizinga legolide lemboni. Efuna ukwabelana ngalokho ayekwazi ngokudla okuphambili, waphendula ikhishi lakhe laba indawo yokufundisa futhi abapheki abaningi abachwepheshile baklanywe ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwakhe. Abapheki abaphawuleka kakhulu abadlule ekhishini lakhe bahlanganisa uJamie Shannon, uPaul Prudhomme, u-Emeril Lagasse, uDanny Trace, u-Emmanuel Loubier, uRichard Bentz, noTom Robey. U-Tim Zagat ubheka u-Brennan njengomunye wezindawo zokudlela ezihamba phambili ezweni.

UGoldring Ubuyisela Emphakathini

Njengomongameli we-Goldring Family Foundation kanye ne-Woldenberg Foundation, lo mholi webhizinisi ongabalulekile unikele ngezigidi zamaRandi ezinhlanganweni ezisiza umphakathi nezikhungo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20.

UNewman Goldring (umkhulu kaBill), waqala ubukhosi ngo-1898 ePensacola, eFlorida. Njengamanje, i-Goldring ingusihlalo weNkampani ye-Sazerac (i-distiller enkulu kunazo zonke yaseMelika) kanye ne-Crescent Crown Distributing (isitolo esikhulu sesibili sikabhiya esizweni). I-Sazerac ingumnikazi futhi ikhiqiza cishe izinhlobo ezingama-200 zemimoya ethengiswa ngaphakathi nangaphandle, ngokugxila okukhethekile emikhiqizweni yevodka nekhwalithi ephezulu, ama-bourbon awina umklomelo.

Ku-1948, i-Sazerac yangena emakethe ye-vodka yaseMelika ngokwethula umkhiqizo wokuqala we-American-distilled organic othengiswa njengeTaaka; ingenye yezinhlobo ezinkulu zevodka ezithengisa kakhulu e-US. Umkhiqizo udlula kuma-distillation amane, ukuhlunga kwamalahle, bese uyapakishwa. Ngo-1987, i-Sazerac yathenga i-vodka ye-Nikolai ne-Crown Russe vodka ngenxa yezindlela zabo zokukhiqiza eziyingqayizivele nezindlela zokupheka ezahlukene. Ngo-1992, u-Goldring wathola i-Buffalo Trace Distillery futhi wahlanganisa imishini yayo eyingqayizivele yokukhiqiza i-vodka kanye namasu kanye nohlobo olukhethekile lwemvubelo kwiphothifoliyo yakhe ekhulayo.

Njengamanje, i-Rain Organics igaywe emmbila omhlophe otholakala epulazini elingamahektha ayi-1500 e-Yale, e-Illinois. Abanikazi bamapulazi baqikelela kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ummbila uhlanzekile futhi awunqamuki nezinga elinembile lomswakamo ukuze upheke kahle, uvutshelwe, futhi ucwiliswe emanzini. IRain ithole izindondo zegolide ihlula uGrey Goose, Belvedere, Stolichnaya, Absolut, neThree Olives. I-Platinum 7X vodka okwamanje iyatholakala emakethe. Le vodka ihlanjululwa kasikhombisa, futhi igaywa amakholomu amane, ilandelwa amabhodwe amathathu engeziwe asele "epholisha" ama-distillations.

Ukuthengwa kwakamuva okwe-A. Smith Bowman Distillery, etholakala ngaphandle kwaseFredericksburg, eVirginia. Indawo endala kunazo zonke esebenza ogwini olusempumalanga ye-US, i-Bowman phambilini yayiphethwe yinzalo ka-John Adams no-Robert E. Lee.

I-Sazerac iphinde ikhiqize futhi isabalalise i-agave tequila engamaphesenti angu-100, i-Mezcal yangempela, kanye ne-100% ye-agave yasendle i-Sotol. Amabhrendi asuka ku-blancos kuye kuma-anejo engeziwe, aguga iminyaka efika kweyisi-6. I-Sazerac bourbons ikhiqizwa kuma-distilleries angu-3 ne-Buffalo Trace i-distillery ehlotshiswe kakhulu emhlabeni. Imikhiqizo ineminyaka yobudala efika ku-23 futhi iyahlukahluka ngezindawo zokugcina amaresiphi.

Iresiphi esemthethweni ye-Sazerac

I-Goldring ikholelwa ngokuqinile ukuthi akekho okufanele ashiye eNew Orleans ngaphandle kokuhlala e-bar futhi ayale i-Sazerac. Iresiphi ilula kakhulu, kodwa ukunambitheka kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu.
