Wines At Our Table; Week of June 7th, 2015
Over the course of a week, my wife and I drink a bunch o’wine – almost always with food. 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…
A Taste of Campania #ItalianFWT
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 Beaujolais (Blanc) for #ChardonnayDay
I enjoy celebrating the various “wine” days. #ChampagneDay is my favorite, but in the last few years, I’ve come to enjoy Chardonnay and #ChardonnayDay very much I’ve not always been a fan of Chardonnay.
