This is actually not my official post because I decided to give Lambrusco a more serious look after this. So...this just a precursor to my actual post. I located three bottles ahead of the event: Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Amabile, Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Sorbara Vecchia Modena 2018, and Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Castelvetro Vigneto Cialdini 2017. We tried them in that order. I paired the Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Amabile with a Torta Barozzi and you can read my post that it didn't change my opinion of Lambrusco. If I had stopped there, I would have missed out on the Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Sorbara Vecchia Modena 20...

I really did buy this book for its cover: The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin*. And then it sat on my nightstand for months. I picked it up a few times; each time I loved the opening scene, but didn't get much further than that. This time, I read it all in two days. Even still, I can't say that I really enjoyed it. On the Page As I was trying to explain this book to my family at the breakfast table, I realized it wasn't an easy answer. It's a story about four siblings - Varya, Daniel, Klara, and Simon Gold - who visited a gypsy fortune teller when they were children. She supposedly had the power to predict your death. The book follows the siblings as they live, spiraling towards the day of their predicted demise. It's an interesting premise with an underlying question: How would knowing the date of your own death affect how you lived? Would you choose to live cautiously or recklessly? Would you embrace every adventure, or would you retreat, determined to...

This is actually not my official post because I decided to give Lambrusco a more serious look after this. So...this just a precursor to my actual post. It's a great cake with a mediocre wine. Or, at least, it's a wine that didn't appeal to me. In My Glass I'll be frank: When I thought of Lambrusco, I pictured a frothy pour somewhere between deep magenta and red. And sweet. Always sweet. So, I was excited dig deeper and take a serious look at this wine. I learned... That 'Lambrusco' actually refers to an entire family of grapes from, mostly, the Emilia-Romagna region. And, under the Lambrusco umbrella, there are four main varieties that comprise the wines c...

No additional compensation for this post was provided; this page may contain affiliate links. When I received an email from Tracey Medeiros, asking if I might be interested in reviewing her cookbook - The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook: 125 Organic and Farm-to-Fork Recipes from the Green Mountain State* - I agreed immediately. I am always interested in any inspiration for farm-to-fork recipes. And, truth be told, I don't know much about Vermont. So, I was excited to see what sorts of produce would be featured. On the Page image courtesy Tracey Medeiros Medeiros writes in her introduction that the book "takes you on a culinary journey through the tiny villages, quaint towns, and bustling cities of our Green Mountain State to meet the people that have helped make this book a reality. ...[The]...
