Wine of the Week; 2012 Tablas Creek Petit Manseng
Every Thursday I feature a wine I particularly enjoy, whether it’s something new and different, is a great value, or from a producer worth checking out.

While I’ve mostly enjoyed the aforementioned classic version of chili, I do enjoy a good chili adventure too! And this week’s recipes showcase the amazing diversity of what is essentially…
