I haven’t written a “what to pair with Thanksgiving dinner” post since my first one back in 2009. Every year since I have written Thanksgiving related posts, but none discussing what wine to pair with the meal. This is because I am a traditionalist when it comes to this meal, and my advice remains the […]

A weekly roundup of some of my favorite things this week in the categories of wine, food, travel, and lifestyle. This was indeed a week full of “favorites”. Well, my absolute favorite part of the week was getting to spend it with some good friends who were visiting from California with their toddler who is […]
Where to begin with writing about Friuli? The land? The wine? The food? The prosciutto? Oh the prosciutto! Ok, let’s just start with the wine since there’s no lack of great wine in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. After spending a week in the region I found it difficult to sum up even the wines from here into […]
A roundup of some of my favorite things from the week. I really have no idea how it’s already Friday! Between a quick trip to NYC on Tuesday and my husband traveling the rest of the week the days have flown by. That being said, I did manage to capture a few favorite moments. WINE […]
