I almost missed the fact that Monday happened to be , until I noticed a post from .

We definitely enjoyed some good wine over the holiday weekend, including Monday. My favorite was the Grignolino, a light red wine from the Piedmont. Very good with our salmon & mushrooms! Another excellent Berman’s Wine Club selection.

Monday we opened a Chilean Sparkling Pais from , a very interesting and refreshing wine. More details on that to come.

Keeping with the Spanish theme I’ve been leaning into, we also enjoyed a glass of Rioja over at Matadora.

Jodi & I have been continuing our exploration of good wine bar options north of Boston, and I realized I never posted about our visit to Sogno earlier this month. Time to correct that!

Sogno is certainly a great spot for a full meal, but they also have a nice bar area with good apps and a solid selection of Italian wines by the glass.

At the recommendation of our friendly server, we went with the prosciutto bruschetta — definitely a good call. It paired nicely with the Hofstätter Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige. Next time, I might try a Prosecco pairing, which I suspect would work even better.

We also shared a glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Ever since visiting that wonderful region on a wine trip a few years ago, it’s become a red I tend to gravitate toward at Italian restaurants.

This was a fun wine 🍷 trip!

My Facebook memories that back on 2018 on this date, I was enjoying some great wine 🍷 in a beautiful setting - Abruzzo! On an informative press trip that helped me gain greater appreciation for this Italian wine region on the Adriatic coast.

From a world renowned Barcelona wine bar to tracking down a local bottle to enjoy on a balcony overlooking the Girona river — wine found its moments on this family trip to the Catalonia region of Spain.

Along the way we explored some of Gaudí’s extraordinary architecture in Barcelona and took in the stunning views of medieval Girona. A few visual highlights from the trip. Full article on the blog — comment “WINE” and I’ll DM the link.

Just posted our easy recipe for cooking Denver steak, a tender and delicious cut! Excellent topped with a simple BBQ sauce, and paired with a good red wine - such as the Dineen Vineyards Yakima Valley Syrah that we opened.

I first came across Denver steak via our Walden Local Meat Co. share. Definitely worth a try! Get all the details in our latest Cooking Chat post.

This Leftover Steak Pasta recipe is a delicious way to use the leftovers from a bone-in steak meal using porterhouse or ribeye.

The dish is excellent paired with a Lagrein red wine from Italy’s Alto Adige – Südtirol region!

Delicious pairing last night!

Tasty pork chops with scallion salsa, very good along with the Petite Sirah. Worked reasonably well with the sautéed red cabbage, too.

With our Petite Sirah pairings article around the top of Google search for the topic, always happy to do this research to be helpful to our readers!
