Adjusting to the winter weather requires an old-fashioned meal of grilled ham and cheese with cream of tomato soup. And a crisp white wine (100% Jacquère) from the Savoie region of France was the perfect partner. As we sipped, Gabe and I imagined ourselves slope-side, watching the skiers schuss by! What’s your favorite snow day pairing?
One of the most precious moments of the holidays: all of us siblings together with our Aunt Pat and Uncle George. I’m still coasting on the good vibes of the past two weeks, hoping that 2022 brings more of the same.
Our first dinner of 2022 is a wrap! We enjoyed the last drops of Taittinger as the maple-Dijon pork loin roasted; Gabe opened the lovely Bordeaux Blanc from Famille Hubert as I prepped the salad. Not bad for a rainy night in NYC!
What better way to start the new year (and give the old one a shove out the door) than with fresh grilled seafood and a bottle of Meursault-Charmes?
Snow flurries this morning! Perfect way to close out our holiday weekend. Been quite a while since I’ve seen snow, so it’s a joyful sight to me! Have a great week, everyone.
Christmas Eve began with a sisters’ Champagne toast followed by a dinner of slow-roasted pork shoulder and herbed potatoes. Add a bottle of Barbera d’Asti and it was all good! Happy holidays to all!
