One of my favorite things about the winter months is that when it is cold outside—all I want to do is cook and drink red wine! One of our latest dinners was roast leg of lamb roulade over a bed of root vegetables.We paired it with a glass of Shiraz...

One of our most popular wines this and every time of the year is our Bordeaux style red blends—the Suhru Ember and Lieb Estate Meritage. As two of our favorite wines we have a wide variety of excellent food pairings and these two are always a crowd favorite, whether you...

The cold weather is upon us! With the change of seasons, I am shifting my cooking focus to heartier, slow-roasted meals and richer red wines. Such as our Cabernet Franc, which will warm you up from the inside out! A staple cold-weather meal in my house is Roasted Leg of...

  Frankly, we are a little bummed that Chicken Scarpariello recipes are often missing on menus at Italian restaurants, or you see it jazzed up so much that it lost its original rustic charm. Ember being a Bordeaux style red blend, makes it an excellent wine to pair with food...

  It was tempting to just throw a burger recipe in here because thats what we love to have with Merlot on the regular—however that just seemed a little too lazy. What we stumbled upon was actually much, MUCH better. We highly recommend giving Losh Kebabs a try! If you're...

It may seem the obvious choice, but you can never go wrong with a baked brie! Hot, gooey cheese? Yes please! However if you are looking for an elevated approach I highly recommend dressing this classic appetizer up with a handful of chopped nuts, fresh fruit or fruit jam and...

When most people think of rosé they think summer—but this delicious style of wine cannot be confined to just one season! It's getting colder and colder every day and I don't know about you but I'm not ready to give up that summer feeling just yet... which is why I've...

When it comes to food pairing with Sparkling wines, there are a number of directions you can go—sweet or savory, breakfast or dinner, appetizers or dessert, everyday or special occasion... the list goes on. While I love them all, I am partial to a savory, everyday appetizer and in particular...

One of the wonderful things about Sauvignon Blanc is that it is, what I like to call, an all weather wine. Looking for a rich, nuanced wine to pair with a cheese and charcuterie board? Sauvignon Blanc! Need a dry, cold wine to sip by the pool? Sauvignon Blanc is...
