Red Wine and Chocolate Cupcakes
Also known as Kelly cakes, since my friend Kelly inspired them…
Or you can call them Sin in a Wrapper… ‘cause they are uber decadent.
When it comes to using chocolate, I highly recommend using good ones like Ghiradelli or Guittard. Good ones make all the difference.
Rosemary Pear Sparkler
Choosing champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate the holiday season is a nice low-calorie alternative to spirits or beer, but when I'm craving a cocktail, a plain glass of Prosecco doesn't always do the trick.
If you're looking for a nice cocktail to enjoy this holiday season, try my refreshing rosemary pear sparkler. It makes a great aperitif, and the flavors of pear and rosemary really tie together the feelings of Fall.
9,000-year-old brew hitting the shelves this summer
This gives new meaning to skunky beer!
This summer, how would you like to lean back in your lawn chair and toss back a brew made from what may be the world’s oldest recipe for beer? Called Chateau Jiahu, this blend of rice, honey and fruit was intoxicating Chinese villagers 9,000 years ago—long before grape wine had its start in Mesopotamia.

Once giving up Ranch dressing, I needed to find an alternative and I really enjoy this one. 2 Tbs red wine vinegar 1 Tbs finely chopped shallot 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard 2 Tbs olive oil 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper In a small bowl combine vinegar and shallot. Let stand for 5 mins.Benefits of Greek Olive Oil
Olive oil for many Westerners may be just simple cooking oil, but to the people of Greece it is much more than that. In the ancient Mediterranean civilisations, olive oil was inseparable from civilised life itself. Olive oil was not only an important food item but it was also burned in lamps to provide light, it could be used as a lubricant, and it was blended with essences to produce fragrant oils.
Greece - What to Eat
Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

Who chose what?
Hello everybody!
Hello everybody..I'm new from here...I have to get familiar with this community and to start I want to suggest you the best red wine I've ever tried. Its name is Amarone Valpollicella.I know..the name it's a bit difficult to spell :) It's because it is an Italian wine. I tried it yesterday and it's fantastic, the taste is strong and deep and it goes with meat recipies, but even with a piece of dark chocolate after an hard day!!yummy
Bye everybody!

2001 Dolcetto di Dogliani (a red) from the Piedmont Region is fantastic. It's color is deep purple with mouthwatering fruit flavors and a slight acidity. Pair it with pasta, especially homemade ravioli stuffed with argula and goat cheese and you will be in heaven.
