Since I’ve always been fascinated by wine at the table with food, I thought it would be fun to recap not only the wines we’ve been drinking, but also how they pair (or don’t pair) with the foods at our table. It features…

Valentine’s Surf and Turf with a Twist and Champagne Pairing #winePW
Wine Pairing Weekend Celebrates the Valentine’s Day The theme for this month’s Wine Pairing Weekend (#WinePW) is Valentine’s Day. Perhaps it’s because I’m a romantic. Or perhaps because I’m a Leo, I like to “go big” for Valentine’s Day. And for my wife and I that special occasion meal often calls for “Surf and Turf” On…

Calabrian Gaglioppo Paired with Lamb Chops Calabria Style
One of the things I love most about food and wine is their ability to transport one to a different place. And a place’s people, culture, and customs are reflected in its food and wine. In that sense, one can virtually travel the world through food and wine. And that is exactly what we are doing…

A Taste of Nieto Senetiner Wines
As a wine writer, I receive offers for free wine samples from time to time (a nice perk since making any meaningful money is almost impossible – but then again, I do it for love…). Most of the offers are for a bottle or two. Rarely do I receive more than three or four bottles…

Two Decadent French Cheeses Paired with Burgundy Wines
Last month, to my surprise, I was offered the opportunity to obtain samples of two creamy cheeses from Fromagerie Guilloteau’s – Fromager d’Affinois with Truffles and Saint Angel. The offer had me at truffles and triple-cream! My initial plan was to pair the cheeses with a post I was doing about hosting a Champagne Pairing Dinner….
No Reservations Wine Tasting-Urban Legend Cellars
My wife and I do more than our fair share of wine tasting. We’ve hit all the major wine regions in California (and a few minor ones too;-), along with some tasting in Oregon, Spain and Champagne. From time to time we have a wine tasting experience that stands above the rest, and is everything…
