Recipes with wine as one of the ingredients

The Day After Thanksgiving

November 28, 2008 – 8:37 pm

Yesterday was spent between the kitchen, living room and dining room. Everyone was involved in some aspect of the cooking for Thanksgiving dinner and we all enjoyed each other’s company. Before dinner was one of our traditional 4-square games in the driveway. Even the neighbors came out for it. After a late afternoon dinner, we […]

Thanksgiving Eve Dinner Wines and Port in Wine

November 26, 2008 – 1:16 pm

I really couldn’t tell if adding some Port to the decanter helped my Cabernet Sauvignon or not. I do know that if you have a glass of Port before the Cabernet Sauvignon, my Cabernet Sauvignon is much better. On the other hand, those who had the wine said it was fine for a table wine. […]

When Family Comes for Dinner at Different Times

November 25, 2008 – 2:01 pm

Our family chose Tuesday to come home for Thanksgiving. So we will be off to college (125 miles away) to pick up our son, off to the airport to pick up others and finally off to the bus station. Picking them up will take most of the day and they will arrive home at different […]

Wines for Thanksgiving

November 14, 2008 – 1:06 pm

Whether or not you have planned your Thanksgiving menu, consider serving a sparkling wine or a cranberry wine, maybe even a late harvest or ice wine. A sparkling wine is light and cleanses the palate, and easily complements the traditional heavy Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, a cranberry wine carries through on the Thanksgiving theme. A […]

November 3, 2008 – 1:47 pm

Okay, I’ll admit it, I don’t frequently read the Washington Post, but fortunately, I accidentally discovered a great article discussing the pairing of wine with foods that have a lot of flavor. By a lot of flavor, the authors are talking about fresh and dried chili peppers, horseradish, hot mustard, wasabi, spicy foods, and food […]

Restaurants Should Stock Local Wines

October 20, 2008 – 1:14 pm

Located on Rt. 13 in Salisbury Maryland, Chesapaeake Steakhouse offers a wonderful menu with a fine selection. Noting a small sign that with a list of a few wines, Kathy asked the waiter if they had any local wines. His response was that they have a Beringer. That winery is about 3000 miles away, not […]

Wine and Food, the Perfect Tasting

October 17, 2008 – 12:14 pm

Our last stop in Colorado was Creekside Cellars Winery & Italian Café in Evergreen. This charming town is about an hour’s drive from Denver International Airport, but seems a world apart. During our travels in 2008 we’ve come across more wineries with restaurants than we did in 2007. We think this is a good idea […]

Eat and Drink Regionally

October 1, 2008 – 1:17 pm

October is a month of harvest and bounty. All kinds of fruit and vegetables are available locally at farms, farmer markets and some grocery stores. The 2007 vintage wines are available at local wineries. Why the push to buy locally? One reason is that locally grown foods taste better. They are harvested closer to the […]

Muscadine Wine

August 6, 2008 – 8:44 pm

Last night for dinner, we decided to experiment with a food and wine pairing. We chose to have a sweet wine with dinner as one of our family members likes a sweet, white wine. Our choice was Midnight Magnolia from Duplin Estate Wines in North Carolina. According to the label this is a Mid Harvest […]
