Looking forward to learning more about the wines of @sokolblosser next week as they kick off their 50th anniversary celebration. I’ve heard such raves about them, but haven’t yet tasted them for myself. Can’t wait to hear what @lizbchicago has to say as she walks us through each wine!

A box of earthly delights from @twoshepherdswine arrived a few days ago. I’m imagining a host of new pairings in the coming weeks! Anyone got a favorite they’d like to share?

Sometimes a food and wine pairing far exceeds expectations, as in the case of this Cauliflower Soup with Rosemary Olive Oil and the Centime orange wine from @twoshepherdswine . The recipe from @nytcooking is almost ridiculously simple - and it’s vegan. As long as you’ve got a good blender, dinner will be on the table in a jiffy.

What a way to jazz up a Monday night! I tried out a new recipe and uncorked one of my favorite white wines. All of a sudden it felt like a celebration. The dish was a risotto with leeks, snap peas, and pancetta, adapted to the jasmine rice I had on hand. While not as dense or creamy as a true risotto, the flavors were delicious: salty, sweet, tangy. And so many textures!

Friday’s looking pretty good, don’t you think? I’ve got a long way to go before my weekend starts, but it’ll sure taste great once I can relax. How’s yours shaping up?

First Moderna doses - done! What a relief. Only a little wait, no problem when it’s 65 and sunny in downtown Miami. So grateful!
