Diving Into Bordeaux #Wine with #Winophiles: Saint-Émilion
I have no idea what heaven entails. I do know that it will be amazing and I can only judge amazing by what I already know.

#Food & #Wine Pairing: Going Hardcore Carnivore with Troon Wines
This is a particularly fun food and wine pairing article for me to share with you. Fun because it features three wines instead of one. Fun because these wines are new releases from Troon Vineyards that were shared with me from a legend in the wine world, Craig Camp. Fun because I am trying out…

Rosé All Day ~ That’s What I Say
