WIne Wednesday - This week on the blog: “Choosin

WIne Wednesday - This week on the blog: “Choosing Wine by the Label: A Sommelier’s Nightmare, My Personal Strategy”—where I break down the high-stakes game of judging a bottle by its cover. Spoiler: Fancy cursive lies, animal mascots are a gamble, and if a wine is called Bitch Grenache, you have to buy it.
🍷 What’s the best (or worst) wine you’ve chosen based purely on the label? Drop your stories in the comments!

Recipe: 🐟 Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon + The Perf

Recipe: 🐟 Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon + The Perfect Wine Pairing 🍷Salmon is basically a weekly ritual in my kitchen, but this time, I gave it a little glow-up—stuffed with creamy goat cheese and topped with a sweet-spicy Dijon glaze. Fancy? A little. Easy? Absolutely. Delicious? Let’s just say I may never make salmon without goat cheese again.

And because no great meal is complete without wine, I paired it with a Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay—a crisp, citrusy white that plays beautifully with the richness of the salmon. 🥂 Recipe in lifefoodwine.com For #easydinners #winepairings #homecheflife #goatcheeserecipes

#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 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. 🇮🇪❤️

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.
