I’m going to let you in on a secret. Christmas is ten days away and I haven’t purchased a single present. Just this morning my mom lectured me about my procrastination. I assured her there’s still nearly two weeks left for me check off everyone on my list. That’s what Amazon Prime shipping is for, […]

Holiday parties are in full swing, and if you should find yourself in a rut trying to figure out which wines to drink you’re not alone. It can be an intimidating topic for many. My advice is don’t think too deeply about it. Pairing wine with holiday foods is no different than any style of […]

I have three words for you – Cranberry. Wine. Meatballs. All of these things are combined to make these sweet, savory, and purely delicious meatballs. They are also one of my favorite holiday appetizers incorporating a seasonal staple, canned cranberry sauce, and they are the perfect snack to take to holiday parties. Sweet, savory, and […]

This is because I am a traditionalist when it comes to this meal, and my advice remains the […]

Two of my recent articles were published this week – both on Bordeaux. The first, over on VineSleuth Uncorked is all about a recipe inspired by one of the best meals I had on my trip to the region last September – 7 Hour Braised Lamb and Bordeaux. This was the version I had at […]

I’m usually not a sucker for catchy titles and fun wine labels, but I’m not going to lie, I was secretly drawn to this wine by the name alone – for obvious reasons. Having twins myself I admittedly have a soft spot for all things twins. This wine isn’t referring to people, instead the two […]

A weekly roundup of some of my favorite things in the categories of wine, food, travel, and lifestyle. I’ve been slacking on my “Friday” Favorites and figured since it’s already the weekend that I’d instead highlight some of my favorite things from the last couple weeks. This past week has been a blur. Hubby was […]
