Monday Night Wine 
is a fabulous group of friends I have & we get together a couple Monday nights each month to taste wine. Each month we try a different varietal and I pair it with a dinner, as the wine will change once you introduce food to your palate.
January 2025 Cabernet Sauvignon As an impending snowstorm approaches this weekend it is time to start thinking about those warming dry reds that we want to have not only at dinner but anytime thru the day to warm up. The Cabernet Sauvignon is considered the Big Red Wine. These wines can be dry but they can also be smooth and easy to drink. They will pair well with a multitude of foods but we will be pairing it with a great beef recipe. So if you want to warm up and enjoy an evening with friends and family we look forward to seeing you soon. This month we paired our Cabernet Sauvignon with French Beef Bourguignon, Mashed Potatoes & Black Forest Cake.

February 2025 Merlot Merlot… one of the primary grapes in a Red Bordeaux, one of the reds that everyone in the late 1990’s saw as the red wine to beat all other reds. It is the wine that in some cases can have the longest or shortest tasting descriptions. It pairs well with steaks or some kind of Italian Red Sauce and Chocolate. This month join us and check out some Merlot and see if you can find a new one to have for those special evenings at home. I paired the wines this month with my meatloaf, Skillet Spinach Mushroom & Wild Rice Casserole, Asparagus and Red Velvet Cake.
