For obvious reasons, I have a soft spot in my heart for moms who love wine, so I have compiled this list of 10 awesome gifts for wine lovers! Get ready to get bumped up to mom’s new favorite child!
Fall is in full swing, and the rich aromas of the season are in the air. And, if you read my last post about fall flavors, you know how happy that makes me! In fact, that post also gave you a little sneak peak of today’s recipe, and my inbox has been going crazy for the details! So here it is, the pumpkin cardamon pasta bake recipe!

Of the four seasons, fall is my absolute favorite. The rich colors, the warm aromas, the cozy feeling of your favorite sweater, the overwhelming theme of gratitude, all the fall flavors. There is even an entire holiday dedicated to three of my favorite things – family, food, and football. It is a season that speaks to my soul. Not to mention, it includes my birthday! I guess my love affair with fall was just meant to be.

Back to school is signaling that summer is almost over, but you can keep summer going all year round with this fun pairing! This Cilantro Lime Shrimp Rice Bowl packs a ton of flavor all in one skillet (hooray for less dishes!) and this Big Ripper has gained somewhat of a cult following as a summer favorite!
Sweet wine pairings can be some of the most intimidating, especially for those who aren’t a big fan of sweeter wines to begin with. Describing a wine as sweet often brings up images of dessert reds or cheap blends you drink when you are a young college student just trying to have glass after finals. The truth is that some pretty amazing, complex, and delicious flavors can come from a food and wine pairing with the right level of sweetness and balance. These sweet BBQ ribs with this delicious Pinotage will show you just that!
Am I the only one who struggles with the menu during summer time? I am always so inspired by the bright colors of the in-season produce and the crisp taste of a chilled wine at a BBQ, but the thought of cooking when it is already 100 degrees outside doesn’t usually get my juices flowing. Casualty of California living I suppose. This bright Grilled Chicken Scampi paired with this citrusy Pinot Grigio throws that out the window. Read more “Grilled Chicken Scampi & Pinot Grigio”
Looking for a super easy dinner dish that is perfect for summer time? Look no further! Not only can this dish be prepped ahead of time (hello mom hack!), but you won’t have to heat up the house turning on the oven. The flavors are also a match made in heaven when paired with Rose Ridge’s Shiraz Riverina! Read more “Grilled Flank Steak & Shiraz”
Have you been looking for a fun way to mix things up on Taco Tuesday? Or any day for that matter – I mean who doesn’t want more tacos in their life?! This is a delicious and spicy twist on fish tacos paired with a refreshingly light sauvignon blanc that will rock your dinner table any day of the week! Read more “Cajun Fish Tacos & Sauvignon Blanc”
I’m super excited to share this pairing because it brings the perfect balance of complex flavors and rustic simplicity! The rub on this pork tenderloin recipe packs a punch while the entire meal is prepared and cooked on a single sheet pan (hello easy dishes night!). The earthy flavors in Carignan make it a perfect match!
This pairing brings a crisp flavor profile with touches of comfort food. These pan fried rosemary chicken cutlets are a hit for family dinners and hosting occasions alike, and when enjoyed with the Caracoler 2016 Vermentino both the dish and the wine are elevated for a delightful experience!
