It’s Enchilada Night for the #WinePW Crew

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. What is intriguing is that it really is not a major holiday in Mexico, but here in the United States, it a huge party.  

Our group is all about celebrations, so for this month’s twitter chat, we are going to make enchiladas and instead of margaritas, we are pairing them with some of our favorite wines. The live Twitter Chat will be held 11 a.m. EDT on May 14th. (It’s always the second Saturday of the month) In order to join all you have to do is use the hashtag #winePW. Anyone interested in wine pairing is welcome to join the chat.
