New Year’s Eve Fondue Party

December 29, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Think of this as your last hurrah before resolutions come knocking. Do it up big, with a fondue and wine party to satisfy a crowd. Warm gooey cheese and melted, fragrant chocolate wrap up a season of indulgence with a big red bow. Fondue is my love language, especially if I have on ski boots…

Wine Pick: Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore

May 19, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Weekly Wine Pick: Prosecco Superiore Bubbles are always a good idea. Especially when those bubbles are Italian Prosecco Superiore from a small area at the heart of Prosecco production. And with summer about to swing into full gear, this is one of those bottles that should be locked and loaded for out-of-town weekends and pre-dinner aperitifs….

Wine Pick: Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier

April 28, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Finally, a go-to white wine from Trader Joe’s. Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier pairs well with my spatchcocked chicken and whole chicken in the crock pot, and it’s a crisp and slightly sweet white that you can grab and go when you’re shopping at Traders. For several years after moving to Houston from San Francisco, I found…

Wine Pick: Chateau Graville-Lacoste

April 14, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

I'm not super comfortable talking about French or European wine picks. Or really any wine except the California favorites I know and love. But I do know who to trust to source those European bottles, and that will always be Kermit Lynch. A distributor and retailer, Kermit Lynch imports wine from small, artisan French and Italian producers. He's...
