A night with Lambrusco is always a fun one! This lively Frizzante (slightly fizzy) wine is food friendly and is produced in the Italian wine region of Emilia Romagna.

Mmm… nothing’s better than coming home from a long day at work to the smell of prime rib in the oven and a cellar of great wines. This meal calls for a big wine, so I chose a 2002 Chateau- Lagrange Bordeaux. Prime rib is a very wine friendly meat, but since I have been […]

It was fate that I happened to be vacationing in Aruba this February. The North East was expecting huge snow storms, but I was able to get out just in time before airports delayed and cancelled flights. While lying on the beach reading the Aruba Daiy News Paper, an interesting article came to my attention. […]
