Jammy, juicy and luscious beyond belief, there's no end to the mouthwatering potential of this year's bumper crop ... I'm waiting. Around this time in August I begin to stalk the orchard, keeping a close check on fattening fruits, hoping I discover them in their perfect state of ripeness before the wasps do. And the ones I'm most impatient for, practically tapping my watch in a what-sort-of-time-do-you-call-this fashion, are the plums ... This year, there's an exciting new addition to the

This week at the Italian Culinary Center in New York City I had the pleasure of meeting Adolfo Folonari, co-CEO of Ruffino, who put together a tasting of his wines, and Cesare Casella, currently of Salumeria Rosi, who created the pairing menu ... The Folonari family has been in the wine business since the late 1700's, and bought the Ruffino Vineyards almost 100 years ago, so you can say Adolfo has wine running through his veins. Over the past 50 years they acquired seven small estates, Gretole,

If it's good enough for their parents, it's good enough for you. Jay Rayner is starstruck by Casamia ... Casamia ... 38, The High Street, Westbury on Trym, Bristol ... (0117 959 2884) ... Meal for two, including wine and service, £100 ... Casamia is the little restaurant that could. It is one of those beguiling stories that makes the restaurant business seem sweet, romantic and attractive rather than the bitter, sordid and ugly affair it too often really is. It goes like this: two brothers work
