So it’s not so much that no wine was needed. It was just that both times I made Racheal Ray’s Eggnog Panetonne Bread Pudding, the pairing wasn’t well thought out. The first time was for Christmas, and I was too worried about all the food I was making to think about dessert wine. BK happened […]
Just because I haven’t written about a meal doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. It’s a matter of timing and organization. Therefore, I’m just now getting around to recapping my Christmas day meal with wine pairings. Food items: turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, butternut squash, candied sweet potatoes, divinely sweet pearl onions, ambrosia, and more […]
Here’s to memories with friends and family that include food and wine and to making new ones. I hope 2008 is full of wonderful things for you, drinkers and readers. And for myself so you’ll want to keep reading…
And since I’m posting this ahead, I also hope that my head isn’t aching this morning from […]
Imagine me dancing a little jig. Okay, stop.
I didn’t ask for anything wine related. Kitchen stuff, yes. And some I got, including a salad spinner and a Crème Brûlée kit which BK and I each unknowingly bought for the other. But there were some fun wine surprises: a Longaberger wine cooler basket, a theme apron, and a […]
Merry Christmas!
I hope that yours is full of good wine and delicious food. I’m in the middle of making mini eggnog bread puddings and an appetizer, after staying up and baking Amish friendship bread last night. The other stuff I’ll do in Sacramento. I just hope I remember to take pictures!
And if you asked for […]
Dear Santa,
I know it’s a little late, and you’ve probably loaded the sleigh already. And even if you haven’t, what I’m looking for might be too much for the reindeer to cart around the world. But I’m giving you a heads up for next year. My one little wine cooler is jam-packed, with bottles shoved […]
Not exactly wine news, I know, but it was fun to be a part of something big and just down the road from the winery where I work. Last night, I tasted Absinthe for the first time–in Alameda, the night before St. George Spirits started selling to the masses today for $75 a bottle. Forbidden Island, […]
Worried about what you’re going to eat and drink for Christmas? Tracey over at Foodie Obsessed came up with a really terrific holiday meal, and I’m going to provide the wine pairings.
I love this kind of thing, as I’m always the one with several glasses of wine in front of me to try different […]
The dinner party I went to the other night didn’t follow the average prototype. We were at the 3rd Annual Second Thanksgiving with the Teeter’s be followed by a white elephant exchange. They like to get together with friends for a Thanksgiving dinner, even if it’s almost a month late. Speaking of being late, I was there […]
Last night found me at a holiday dinner party with good friends. Dessert led me to the inspiration for a great Christmas gift for a wine lover. The cellar rat pulled out a bottle of his Slow Burn port and a small decanter for just such an occasion. It was so cute, I had to […]
