A Taste of Loire; Saumur-Champigny #Winophiles
The French Winophiles is doing a deep-dive into the Loire Valley region. The Loire Valley is divided in to five distinct regions – Pay Nantais (which we explored last month), Anjou, Saumur, Touraine, and Centre- Loire.

A Tavel Paired with Spring BBQ #WinePW
We’re pairing fresh, seasonal spring foods with wines from the diverse and fascinating Southern Rhône region of France.

Over the course of a week, my wife and I drink a bunch o’wine – almost always with food.

A Taste of Molise: Authentic Italy
One of the things I love most about food and wine is their ability to transport one to a different place. I think 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…

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.
