What’s better on Valentine’s Day than a coupe of pink bubbles? Luckily I had one bottle left of one of my faves: La Cravantine sparkling Cab Franc rosé from Domaine Fabrice Gasnier in the Loire Valley. Dry on the palate with flavors of red raspberry, currant, and plum. Made my day and our romantic dinner extra-special. Get yourself some via @moorebrotherswinecompany Cheers!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my loves: friends, family, colleagues and, of course, The Great Gabe, as my dad calls him. Life is sweeter with all of you in it!
Fly Eagles, Fly! Ready for tonight.
Hope to hear this song often today. Let’s go Eagles!
It’s soup weather in the 305 and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I do feel (a little) bad for the tourists wishing for balmy beach time.
A variation on my favorite farro salad included strips of balsamic-glazed portobello mushrooms on top. So easy and delicious!
