The Perfect Two: Chocolate Covered Cherries and Red Wine
Chocolate covered cherries and red wine are the perfect pairing. This is a spin on the classic chocoate covered strawberries. We all know that strawberries are an aphrodisiac, so it's a pairing that I offten have with wine. Chocolate covered strawberries are a staple for Valentines's day as a gift of love an admiration, It's romantic! Is chocolate also an aphrodisiac ? no. But is is so tasty you can cover almost anything in chocolate and make it twice as delicious. No wonder we have fountains dedicated to chocolate, and again it's a romantic sweet treat that we can enjoy to sweeten our world. We can all use more romance in our lives after-all.

If 2020 did one thing right, it was give us all more time to appreciate a lot of the things we often took for granted before. For me, the two main things I most definitely took for granted would have to be Spotify and fine dining.

The Match Maker Odyssey
A Brave New World The Odyssey is one of the longest standing epic poems, which is deep-rooted into Greek literature. The tale tells of a man, Odysseus, who battles his way home after enduring one decade of the Trojan war. I often note that Odysseus was depicted to be incredibly strong, but his greatest strength was found in his cunning and wits. Those brilliant attributes are some of many carried by his author, Homer. As one of the greatest epic poets in the world, Homer ultimately echoed many of the Greek values that the aristocrats wanted to reflect. He pridefully wrote about the nobility of greek heroics, but above any of his most commended accomplishments, he perfectly paired the battles of life with the finest sophistication.

Calling all classic horror fanatics and amateur wine connoisseurs! The cold season is upon us, and as you bundle up for a chilly winter in quarantine, maybe it’s time to spice up your evenings.

Three Steps of Perfect Pairings
FOUNDATION AND CREATION The magic that wine can bring to food was introduced to me from an early age before I even thought to try the strange-smelling grape juice. My mother would spend the holidays cooking and baking with every moment she had. It became impossible for me not to get caught up in the preparations for daily meals and countless sweets meant for friends and family. To this day, I have a practical library of recipes, most of which I have yet to even try.

A Parent's Guide to Wine Pairings. Third Place in The Perfect Pairing Challenge. Top Story - November 2020.
Ask any sommelier, casual wine enthusiast or twenty-two year-old college girl what their favorite wine is and you will get answers that run the gamut from dry to sweet, cheap to expensive, and "more about taste" to "will mess you up after just one glass". Wine is an amazing drink like that, it brings people together. There are some who get paid to swish it around in their mouths and spit it out. There are people who buy wine glasses with quirky sayings about their favorite blush. Then, dear readers, there are parents. Parents don't care about the specifics. Parents don't care about whether its supposed to be cold or room temperature. Just pour. It. In. A. Glass. Or don't. We're flexible.

A feast in Autumn
Crab (Hairy crab) paired with yellow rice wine is a very classic match in Chinese cuisine. “When you feel the Autumn breeze, it’s the time to eat crab; the chrysanthemum is blooming; you can smell the crab’s aroma.” In late Autumn, the hairy crabs have reached their peak. The meat is firm and full, the crab cream is golden, and the crab paste is like white jade. Paired with some warm yellow rice wine, even the cold in autumn cannot stop our enthusiasm for eating crabs. After all, the delicious carb can only be tasted this season from September to November. At this season, hairy crabs generally strong and mature. The flavor of the crab cream and crab paste is the best. Later in December, the hairy crabs will look a little empty that not as plump as before.
