#winereview - @sequoiagrove Cabernet Sauvignon Rut

#winereview - @sequoiagrove Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Bench Reserve 2021. Sequoia Grove is like my Napa home base. I visit so often, they probably recognize my silhouette coming up the driveway. And who could resist? Their wines cover everything from a fun with friends, porch-worthy Rosé to Cabs made for hibernation-level nights on the sofa in chilly Chicago. Today’s focus: the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Bench Reserve. Read more on lifefoodwine.com

Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard

Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard / Going in, I knew the basics: it was a parody, it was Die Hard, and it was a one-man show of physical comedy. But what I didn’t know? Just how uproariously funny, cleverly heartfelt, and inventive this show would be. Brace yourself, because this isn’t your average parody—it’s Die Hard reimagined as poetry, blended with tender personal storytelling, and sprinkled with more hysterical accents than you’d find at an international improv convention. (Hans Gruber and Karl? Perfection!). Read more on lifefoodwine.com @ykylive @broadwayinchicago

#winewednesday - Let’s Talk #Bubbles - Effervescent Party Starter. Ah, #Champagne. The ultimate combination of elegance, joy, and the excuse you didn’t know you needed to break out your fanciest glassware. As we float into the season of parties, I thought it was the perfect time to toast one of my favorite wines. From what is Champagne, to food pairings and trivia, it’s all on lifefoodwine.com

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumpl

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumplings - This stew started as a slow-cooker gem from my “Fix It and Forget It” cookbook (which has 1,700 recipes, btw—it’s basically the Wikipedia of slow cooking). Over time, I gave it an upgrade with dumplings, because carbs make everything better. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this winter wonder. Get #recipe at lifefoodwine.com

#winereview 2022 Domaine du Colombier Chablis - Let’s get straight to it: I’ve always been a Chablis girl. My friends in the UK predicted it when I was in my mid-20s, and here I am, an undisclosed number of years later, still swooning over this iconic wine. Some things never change—like my love for Chablis and my inability to say no to cheese. This 2022 Domaine du Colombier #Chablis is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a summer day.
