#winewednesdays 🍷 Sulfites & Hangovers: Who’s

#winewednesdays 🍷 Sulfites & Hangovers: Who’s the Real Villain? 🤔

Blaming sulfites for that next-day misery? Not so fast! While they can be an issue for some, the real culprits are:
🍷 Dehydration – Wine is fun. Water is responsible.
🍷 Lack of Sleep – That wine-induced slumber isn’t as restful as you think.
🍷 Histamines & Tannins – Sneaky troublemakers in every sip.

Want to wine smarter (and suffer less)?
✅ Hydrate. A lot.
✅ Eat something (more than just cheese).
✅ Choose low-sulfite wines if needed.

Sulfites aren’t the villain—hangovers are a team effort. Plan accordingly! 🍷✨ #WineFacts #DrinkSmart #Sulfites #WineLover check out full review on lifefoodwine.com

#recipe Rosemary Mustard Potatoes - 🥔✨ The hu

#recipe Rosemary Mustard Potatoes - 🥔✨ The humble potato is back and better than ever—with a crispy, golden glow-up. These Rosemary Mustard Roasted Potatoes are the ultimate side dish that might just upstage your main. Crispy edges, fluffy centers, a hint of mustard sass, and a sprinkle of rosemary charm. Even my Irish mum would approve—and she didn’t approve of much unless it came with gravy. 🇮🇪❤️

Wine Review - Meet Game of Rosé – 2024 Vintage

Wine Review - Meet Game of Rosé – 2024 Vintage Rosé of Pinot Noir, a bold collab between @stryringvineyard and @gameofrosespod that brings serious flavor and a little flair.
🌸 Aromas of rose petals and fresh strawberries
🍓 Flavors of pink grapefruit and juicy citrus
🍷 Not sweet, just packed with personality
Best served chilled and perfect with spring dinners, goat cheese tarts—or a cheese board and a long-overdue catch-up with a friend.
Playful, polished, and just rebellious enough. Read full review on lifefoodwine.com

Book Review - Currently recovering from All the Co

Book Review - Currently recovering from All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker—an emotionally intense, genre-bending novel that ripped out my heart, handed it back, then tore it up again. Naturally, I paired it with a brooding Petite Sirah—dark, complex, and full of unexpected depth… kind of like that one character you think you’ve figured out, and then BAM. Pirate. In Manhattan.
Highly recommend reading with wine and tissues. Possibly therapy.
