Thursday, March 21, 2013. Have Wine, Will Pair. Since the recent launch of. My very own private label red blend produced by talented winemaker Allen Kreutzer of Drytown Cellars, I've enjoyed some amazing food pairings. My winter crock pot beef roast atop sweet potato mash was no exception. Pictured with "The Big Pig," a big ole bite of smoky brisket that is to die for when matched with. The red cherry and baking spice in the wine. To this weekend's Palm Desert Food and Wine Fest, where he'll. Cuff links ...

Saturday, March 10, 2012. Midday Meal Provides 'Green' Goodness. I'm an avowed meat lover, so I was shocked at just how much I enjoyed Trio Restaurant's stacked veggie burger at a recent lunch there. This delightful creation consists of roasted red pepper and portobello, eggplant, caramelized onion, basil pesto and goat cheese, all served on an brioche bun with a side of chips.

Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Forty-Six Reasons to Celebrate Wine. Gloria Ferrer bubbles and a place card with my name on it.not a bad way to start an evening. And when that first sip is followed by poached shrimp atop goat cheese grits.you know you're in for a real treat. I recently enjoyed a preview of the New Year's Eve Celebration planned for December 28-31 at Fleming's Steakhouse, and indulged in the restaurant's brand new release, a 2009 Cab called Forty-Six Diamonds.

Sizzling Scottish salmon drizzled in olive oil and dusted with salt and pepper.

Saturday, April 21, 2012. Gettin' My Game on at 2012 Palm Desert Food and Wine Fest. A few cooking demos. Celebrated chefs like Mark Peel of L.A.'s vaunted Campanile showcasing innovative cuisine.

Vino Chick: November 2012

Sunday, November 18, 2012. Fall Before the Storm. The fall season in South Jersey is pretty hard to beat in terms of foliage-related beauty. I had the pleasure of spending some time there visiting family and friends, just a week before Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on our beaches and farms. Part of that memorable visit included some yummy wine tasting at idyllic Bellview Winery's Italian Fest in Landisville. From dandelion to blueberry, Bellview offers more that 30 varieties of vino for the tasting.

Monday, May 28, 2012. Uncorking a Crisp Holiday White. What do Bad Company and good wine have in common? The answer is Paul Cullen. The talented classical guitarist and former bass player for this beloved classic rock band also has his own wine label, aptly titled Unplugged and Uncorked. When Paul visited the desert recently, I had the pleasure of tasting several of Paul's wines, and his thirst-quenching, tropical, 'I wanna be on a beach right now' Sonata Bianco comes to mind on this hot holiday weekend.

Vino Chick: February 2014
http://vinochick.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. Getting My Greek On. What's deep amber in hue, comes in a beautiful blue and gold labeled bottle, tastes like an adult caramel, and packs an epic burn? This hefty liqueur is made with aged distillates and aromatic Muscat wines from the Aegean islands. Perfect on its own, but especially delicious when enjoyed with an authentic gyro, courtesy of the Palm Desert Greek Festival. The Hellenic side of my family would be proud.Opa! Follow me on Twitter:.
