台灣酒揚名／噶瑪蘭 出國比賽曾得獎 | 國際萬象 | 全球觀察 | 聯合新聞網 台灣酒揚名／噶瑪蘭 出國比賽曾得獎 2010.01.26 04:12 am 自家的「噶瑪蘭威士忌」（KAVALAN WHISKY）在國際品酒大會上得到好評，金車企業感到很意外，金車威士忌酒廠更是十分興奮。 金車表示，金車威士忌酒廠目前有四支威士忌，這支參加評選的噶瑪蘭威士是前年推出的第一支威士忌，並以酒廠所在地的原住民噶瑪蘭族命名，酒齡不到三年，在這次蘇格蘭品酒會的盲測中，它顯然是比較年輕。之前這支威士忌在去年參加舊金山世界烈酒競賽，得到銀牌獎，也被威士忌聖經（Whisky Bible）一書的作者收錄在2010年版裡。 金車威士忌酒廠表示，噶瑪蘭威士忌的口味略甜，帶著雪莉酒風味，他們之前也不知道這支酒會被拿到品酒會上評比，有可能是金車酒廠的顧問Jim Swan提供的。目前金車的酒廠年產九百萬瓶，主要是供應內銷。 金車威士忌酒廠是全台第一家威士忌酒廠，設立之初，該公司董事長曾親自帶領研發團隊，多次前往蘇格蘭與日本等知名酒廠觀摩學習，試喝了上百款酒品才決定其風味，並分批引進蘇格蘭蒸餾器，導入國外釀酒技術，採用中央山脈與雪山山脈孕育的清淨水源。

There have been many food pollution problems recently in Taiwan, toxic rice and tea, dioxin duck, and now a factory has been busted for selling fake salt, but people are not reacting as strongly as they do to the highly politicized US beef issue. 最近本土有問題的食材頻被發現, 今天又抓到有業者以工業鹽混充食用鹽 都和健康有關 ,但民眾反應都不及有政治味的美國牛強烈. 就沒人遊行抗議政府未為食品嚴加把關.

農夫市集
I am so glad to see that farmer’s markets for organic food seem to be increasingly popular in Taiwan. This island offers rich soil and nice weather for farming but only recently have people here started to realize it and avoid stores. Perhaps people are getting be aware since the non-violent “Rice Bomber” incident. 很歡喜見到有機農夫市集的觀念在台愈來愈盛行. [...]
Dioxin – 戴奧辛
The Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has expanded the investigation into more sites in southern Kaohsiung County that could be contaminated with toxic chemicals (dioxin) from steel slag dumped by steel mills. This kind of news is most depressing because it shows how selfish and stupid people are. Why does this behaviour still exist? If I [...]

They taste so good in [...]
