Another on-my-way-to-class discovery from last night: the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, on West 31st Street in NYC. Located a half a block from MSG, this place was an oasis of quiet in the chaos. I was struck by the beautiful mosaic on the facade which, apparently has a gorgeous counterpart behind the altar inside. The Big Apple never fails to surprise! #NYC #artinthecity #mosaic
Do you love #Malbec? Tuesday is #MalbecWorldDay and I’ve got a few ideas in my latest post on how to celebrate Argentina’s signature grape.

The Wine Pairing Weekend crew visits #Navarra Spain in this month’s chat. I delved into #Pacharán, a local digestif made from sloe plums. Check out the blog for details and for links to everyone else’s posts. It’s a great collection of wine and food inspirations. #winepw #navarrawine #foodandwinepairing #pintxos #sustainablefarming www.theswirlingdervish.com
