I had the honor of hosting this month’s #WinePW. A group of wine and food bloggers get together each month in order to bring their two loves together and get social about them. This month’s theme was Enchiladas. [See my invitation post here and my preview post here.] I could not just choose the typical…
This Saturday, May 14, 2016, the #WinePW group will be getting together on twitter to share their wine and enchilada pairing ideas. The concept was started by David Crowley [read his initial invitation here]. It is always a great time, so why not join in on the fun? All you need to do is get…
April showers may bring May flowers, but May also means Cinco de Mayo! The one day, that we all sit down with a margarita in hand and celebrate the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War.

The history of Sparkling and Champagne might have actually hindered the modern-day sales of…
Being creative with Thanksgiving can be accomplished in many ways. You can go all out and actually buy holiday specific china. You can decorate every nook and cranny of your home with leaves, pumpkins, and acorns. There are the harvest plaid table cloths and of course the stuffed turkeys [not of the food type] that hold signs…
In my previous post [rant], You Know You Want to #MerlotMe I tried to tell the tale of the wonderful grape varietal Merlot and hopefully allowed you to see the wrong of Miles’ ways from the movie Sideways.

A mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth’s crust. A rupture on the crust of a planetary-mass object that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Wow, that is…
