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!

This month the French Winophiles are exploring wines made from French grapes in other parts of the world. I couldn’t wait to share my notes on the 2018 Two Shepherds Pinot Meunier made from grapes grown in California’s own Russian River Valley.
