Welcome to our latest installment of #WinephabetStreet brought to you by Dracaena Wines and Trio North Wildwood. In this series, Debbie Gioquindo and I work our way through the wine world one letter each month. We discuss the characteristics and history of the grape, as well as suggested wine pairings. So uncork, unscrew or saber…
Looking for a quick weeknight recipe that is also healthy?! You’ve come to the right place. This is one of my favorite meals. Enjoy! We served this dish with Sea Shell Cellars Grenache Rosé. This direct press rosé spent minimal time on skins to produce the beautifully light Provencal style rosé. Aromas of stone fruit…
We paired this dish with a 2015 Paracombe Cabernet Franc. This is a very special bottle to me. It represents how amazing the wine community is. I saw that Cathie Schafer posted about this Cabernet Franc on Instagram. I commented how I had never had an Australian Cab Franc and she replied asking for my…

The Catholic Church recognizes three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. The most known Valentine was a priest, who performed marriages for young lovers in secret when Emperor Claudius II…
“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the…
I reached out to some amazing women in a Facebook Group I belong to called “She Podcasts.” I asked them to submit questions they had about wine that they either didn’t want to ask in public or didn’t necessarily know where to go to find the answers. They responded with some great questions. I am…
