Valentine’s – Wines of Love
What can you say about love that hasn’t already been said many times over? Love is constant and nourishing, very much like wine.
Wine with Friends | Solvero Pinot Noir
This is the first BC wine to be featured in Wine With Friends and I am especially excited to share my thoughts and impressions, as well as those of my friends who joined me for the tasting of the Solvero 2019 Pinot Noir.
#ThisWineThatDish | Frind Riesling | Fettucini with Asparagus Pesto
The wine needed to be able to handle the earthy, sweetish combination of the asparagus pesto and lightly cooked asparagus tips, as well as stand up to the distinct lemon flavour.
#ThisWineThatDish | Vanessa Meritage | Chicken Adobo
The flavours in this dish make it a challenging wine pairing. Nothing steps up to the challenge like a rich, smoothly deep red wine from the Similkameen. The juicy balance of ripe fruit just cries out for a challenge.
Beetbox Announces Return of Vegan Fried Chick-Un Bouquets for Valentine’s Day
Each Beetbox CLB (Certified Lover Bouquet) includes a dozen of Beetbox’s popular Fried Chick-Un Fingers (made from breaded and fried seitan) accompanied with housemade Maple Mustard Dip.
#ThisWineThatDish | Monte Creek Sparkling Rosé | Croque-Monsieur Breakfast Casserole
This is a dish I served family during the holidays. It is not only very tasty and satisfying it is also simple to make. You can make it ahead the day before, set your oven on auto start and laze in bed until you get hungry! A win, win!
#ThisWineThatDish | La Stella LaStellina Rosato | Bouillabaisse
The tomato base is alive with great quantities of garlic, subtler herbs such as thyme, celery (substitute for fennel) and saffron. But it is the inclusiion of the aioli and rouille (if using) that take this dish over the top.
#ThisWineThatDish – Township 7 2017 Polaris seven stars | Vacherin Mont d’Or
This was a wine from my cellar. Picked specifically to pair with this very strong and stinky cheese on a specail holiday occasion. Not for the feint of heart the Vacherin Mont d’Or.
