Exploring New Flavor

I always see people use balsamic to mix salad or other cooking
so I bought one bottle to use it for cooking.
Mostly I make sure I know the taste of the ingredients b4 I use them for cooking,
so as usual, I tasted the balsamic vinegar.
Surprisingly, the Balsamic Vinegar tastes like....Chinese Black vinegar....haha

Balsamic vinegar is an aged reduction of white sweet grapes (Trebbiano for red and Spergola for white sauvignon) that are boiled to a syrup. The grapes are cooked very slowly in copper cauldrons over an open flame until the water content is reduced by over 50%. The resulting "must" is placed into wooden barrels and an older balsamic vinegar is added to assist in the acetification. Each year the vinegar is transferred to different wood barrels so that the vinegar can obtain some of the flavors of the different woods. The only approved woods are oak, cherry, chestnut, mulberry, a cacia, juniper, and ash. The age of the vinegar is divided into young – from 3 to 5 years maturation; middle aged 6 to 12 years and the highly prized very old which is at least 12 years and up to 150 years old. It can be cost up to $500 per bottle.

Michelin Guides

The Michelin Guide is a series of annual guide books for hotel and restuarant over a dozen countries since 1900. This Guide has two main series the RED Guide and the GREEN guide, and there are different version of each guide in different countries. The Guides are authritative because they use anonymous inspections and does not charge for entries, unlike some restaurant and hotel guides which are in effect little more than advertising. Michelin claims to re-visit establishments on average once every eighteen months in order to keep ratings up to date.

The Red Guide is the oldest and the best known European hotel and restaurant guide, which awards the famous Michelin stars.

The guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality. Stars are awarded sparingly; for instance, in the UK and Ireland 2004 guide, out of 5,500 entries, there are 98 with one star ("a very good restaurant in its category"), 11 with two stars ("excellent cooking, worth a detour"), and only 3 with three stars ("exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey"). Michelin stars are taken very seriously in the restaurant business, where the addition or loss of a star can mean a difference in turnover of millions of euro. Some three-star restaurants are able to charge hundreds of euro for a meal on the strength of their reputation.

The Green Guide is for travel and tourism. They include background information and an alphabetical section describing points of interest. Like the Red Guide, they use a three-star system for recommending sights: three stars, "worth the trip"; two stars, "worth a detour"; one star, "interesting".

I wanta buy the Canada Green Guide~ I think it would be great to go those restaurants introduced in the guide.
p.s. Hope I have enough $$$$
