BEST PICKS FOR LIGHT AND DARK DRINKS FOR FALL Roger Cude of Waters Edge Winery

FALL IS A TIME OF LIGHT AND DARK. The days are still sunny and bright, but night falls a little more quickly. The weather ranges from balmy with a hint of summer lingering to blustery and chilly as winter makes its way into Oklahoma City.

Wines and beer also have their changing seasons, and fall is the perfect time to taste both light and dark offerings to fit any mood you find yourself in as the weather changes.

At Waters Edge Winery, located at 712 N. Broadway Ave., co-owner Roger Cude has two picks for locals to try this fall, and Stonecloud Brewing, one of Oklahoma City's newest hot breweries, recently unveiled new offerings that complement crisp nights, the changing color of the leaves and cozy hoodies.

FALL FOR WINE "Waters Edge is a full-service custom winery in Oklahoma City, and we're a bit of a hybrid," Roger says. "We are a wine bar and a liquor store. We can sell our wines for off-premise consumption."

Water's Edge imports juice from the finest grape-growing regions, including South Africa, France, Argentina, Chile, Napa and Lodi Valley and from Oregon. The winery then

Waters Edge Winery offers boutique wines made in-house.

takes those sourced ingredients to produce 50 wines in-house at the winery, creating signature offerings with a loyal fan base.

The Dark Waters Edge Winery's newest creation is Roger's "must-try" pick for red wine this fall. The VCR—Vieux Chateau DeRoi—is a fruit-forward red that gets its bold finish from the syrah. The Vieux Chateau DeRoi is known as "the pope's wine," as the grapes come from

the vineyards that the Catholic Church owned in the 12th to 14th centuries. Although the church no longer owns the vineyard, the pope still maintains a residency there.

"Why I chose this wine for fall and winter is because, in summer, it may be too hot to grill out and enjoy a bold wine," Roger says. "This wine screams a nice 2-inch grilled rib-eye.

It's bold and big. As winter comes on, it pairs great when you are grilling out and with grilled meat."

The Light Stonecloud Brewing has a multitude of choices to choose from this fall.

Turtlehead Stout by Stonecloud Brewing is a rich, dark choice for fall.

Roger's favorite white for fall is the Ke Nako (South African for "It's Time," the rallying cry during the last World Cup). This chardonnay/chenin blanc blend has a buttery taste on the front end with a mild oak flavor on the back end.

"The chenin blanc really smooths everything out," Roger says. "It's great on its own, but it also pairs well with seafood, chicken and grilled fish. It's also great for outdoor grilling."

For more information, visit WEWOKC.com.

FALL BREWS When Stonecloud Brewing Co. opened in Oklahoma City in July 2017, it made an instant name for itself under the huge vintage neon Sunshine Laundry and Cleaners sign at 1012 NW First St., Suite 101. Since, Stonecloud is a city-favorite place to hang out, offering 15 different draft craft beers ranging from lively IPAs, German pilsners, creative sours and big, bold stouts.

According to Lindsay Hogan, the brewery's marketing director, seasonal offerings like darker brews and new lighter selections bring in the changing of the seasons.

The Light In August, Stonecloud unveiled its newest lighter craft beer, the Havana Affair. The Havana Affair is a traditional German pilsner that offers a refreshing taste for those who may be new to the craft beer scene.

"I feel like this is a beer everyone can enjoy, especially those who are just being introduced to craft beer," Lindsay says. "It's super clean and refreshing. I feel like it's the perfect backyard beer, and it's one that you want more than one of."

The Havana Affair can nods to Oklahoma City, featuring the OKC skyline and the Sunshine Laundry neon sign as its design.

"It's going to become part of our year-round rotation," Lindsay says.

The Dark

Go light this fall with the new Stonecloud Havana Affair pilsner.

From the beginning, Turtlehead Stout has been part of Stonecloud's rotations, and Lindsay says it's the perfect beer for when the chilly weather sets in.

"It is a big coffee imperial stout, and we use local coffee from Mariposa Coffee in Norman," she says. "It is super bold with lots of chocolate, coffee and roasted malt notes.

Because it has a higher AVB at 11 percent, it will warm you up pretty quickly on those cool fall nights.

CHEF JASON BUSTAMANTE, ROCOCO NORTHPARK

Born in New London, Connecticut, Jason

Bustamante has been Rococo founder Bruce Rinehart’s right-hand man since day one. In fact, the two were born (in different years) at the same hospital, and both have the same passion for seafood.

“I’ve been with Bruce for 25 years. I started with him at Mahogany Sun Casino, and then we went to Boston to Legal Seafood,” Jason says.

Chef Jason Bustamante at Rococo Northpark

“Then we got on board with celebrity chef Jasper White, who opened his place at the Mahogany Sun Casino. When we did our first location at the casino, there was this guy from Oklahoma. He found us and said he had some opportunities in Oklahoma City, and here we are.”

Jason learned his chef skills through on-thejob training, picking up the creativity and the business side of culinary creations along the way. Although he recognizes the advantage of culinary schools, he says his growth in the industry led him to his place at Rococo Northpark today.

Jason’s favorite dish to eat at Rococo Northpark is the traditional Rhode Island Fisherman Stew, a hearty, tomato-broth stew filled with lobster, scallops, shrimp, fish, Andouille sausage, mussels and clams—all the things he loves.

“Bruce is coined with describing it as ‘all the wonderful things we do with seafood in one dish,’” Jason says. “We add all the seafood and the Andouille in a saffron tomato broth and

homemade fish stock. It’s everything I love to eat.

It hails from the traditional stews the Portuguese sailors would make on the dock in Rhode Island.”

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT WHEN NOT AT THE RESTAURANT? “I’m simple. I like meat, seafood and potatoes,” Jason says.

Although The Ranch Steakhouse is a go-to eatery for Jason, he doesn’t go out to eat that often, he says. But he does have a few guilty pleasures.

“My guilty pleasure food is homemade macaroni and cheese,” he says. “Sometimes I dice up a hot dog in it. I like cereal too. But if I had to survive on only one type of food, it would be seafood.”

WHAT THE CHEFS LIKE TO EAT

(CON TI N U ED)

CHEF BRAD JOHNSON, REDROCK CANYON GRILL Stuffed poblano pepper at Redrock Canyon Grill

Brad Johnson’s stuffed poblano pepper at Redrock Canyon Grill set the standard for the Hal Smith Restaurant Group’s Hefner Lake location. Sized roughly like a Coke can, the cornmeal-encrusted pepper is flash fried and stuffed with rotisserie chicken, smoked cheddar, regular cheddar and vegetables and served with a chipotle and adobo sauce.

The final breading is what makes the dish so special, though. It’s a mix of Jiffy cornbread and flour.

“I wanted it slightly sweet,” Brad says.

“The dish is served with a roasted tomatillo salsa verde and a black bean salad. This is the first dish I created in 1998 when I started with the Hal Smith group. This dish is really what the whole menu was built around.”

The stuffed poblano pepper is Brad’s favorite dish because it is what “started it all,” he says. It’s the most requested recipe at Redrock Canyon Grill and it’s “uniquely Redrock.”

“What makes it special to me is that is has such great flavor,” he says. “You get the sweet and salty, the bite and the heat. That dish led to the Mohagany Prime Steakhouse, which carried the dish for its first five years. Anyone who sees this dish knows it’s Redrock.”

Growing up on a farm near Asher, Brad says his comfort food away from the restaurant is reminiscent of the meals he ate growing up.

“My grandmother and mother were the best cooks around. My grandmother was a short-order cook at Slim’s Truck Stop,” he says. “If you told me I had only one meal left, I would have cottage cheese, sliced tomatoes, fresh bread, fresh vegetables and a good hamburger steak cooked in a cast-iron skillet. That’s what I grew up eating.”

Brad Johnson says his favorite dish at Redrock Canyon Grill is the stuffed poblano pepper, the dish that started it all.

CHE F ME L ISSA AU S T, STELLA MODERN ITALIAN CUISINE Head chef Melissa Aust was perfecting risottos before she even became a chef, so it’s no surprise that her favorite dish to create and eat at Stella Modern Italian Cuisine in Midtown is the ever-evolving chicken and corn risotto.

The risotto is full of brick-oven roasted chicken, locally sourced and house-roasted corn, but the ghost pepper mascarpone cheese really gives the dish a fiery pop. Add in the fresh local cherry tomatoes, and the dish is as colorful as it is flavorful.

“Mainly, I just love to cook risottos. It’s a labor of love. It’s not hard, but it is time-consuming,” Melissa says. “Every season, we offer a risotto of some sort, and this one is constantly evolving. I was making risottos a long time before I even got into cooking. I mastered risottos a long time ago.”

The Southern California native began cooking after her mother passed away when Melissa was 22. She discovered a love of cuisine, left her family business to attend culinary school and eventually worked as a chef at Martha’s Vineyard. A cross-country trip back to California brought her through Oklahoma City to see a friend who worked at Stella, and she was hooked.

Modern Italian risotto and other offerings, Melissa says she likes a good burger and anything spicy or ethnic. But, like a true

Melissa's chicken and corn risotto is her go-to meal at the restaurant.

Italian chef, her guilty pleasure is still pasta.

“Honestly, my guilty pleasure is chili spaghetti,” she says. “I always have pasta at the house and a couple of cans of chili. It’s good comfort food. I also always have the stuff to make quesadillas.”

In that resort was the bathroom of her dreams.

"She came in and said, 'I want to recreate the master bathroom in my home here.' So she gave me the name of the hotel, we emailed them, found out what they had furnished the master bath with and we were able to make sure that everything she wanted went in her house," says Gene Goforth, one of the owners of AHD, located at 9450 N. May Ave. Scenarios like that are common for the specialty wholesale plumbing, bath, kitchen and design showcase. The showroom features high-quality products for home renovations and designs, often carrying brands and styles not found in Oklahoma. Along with the showroom, the website at AHDOK.com offers customers a way to purchase bathroom, kitchen, door and cabinet hardware on their own as well.
