A Hostess Gift with Heart #sponsor #giveaway

By
This sponsored post is written by me on behalf of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi. All opinions are my own. 

Between Halloween and Epiphany, we receive a lot of invitations for dinner parties, birthday parties, cocktail parties, and cookie decorating parties. A lot of parties. If there's a theme to be had, someone I know is throwing a party about it.

My default hostess gift is a nice bottle of wine, but I always think they might feel obligated to open the bottle to share right then. It seems a little self-serving, as if to say - "Here, I brought you something, now uncork this baby and let me have a glass."

When I was asked to review the Woodbridge Harvest Wine Set, I thought, "Eureka! This is a hostess gift that they can enjoy long after all the guests have gone and the dishes are put away." And, if you like, you can still include a bottle of wine!

The Woodbridge Harvest Wine Set is a limited-edition kitchen set that includes an apron, pot holder and wine tote. Even better, all of the proceeds benefit AmpleHarvest.org, a charity fighting hunger in America by providing fresh food to those in need.

The kitchen set is ideal for holiday entertaining, serving as the perfect hostess gift with some longevity. The set is available on Amazon.com from now through the end of the year, the Woodbridge Harvest Wine set is a gift with heart.

I received a set to review and was delighted with the quality of the fabric, thickness of the oven mits, and - yes, I am actually going to say it - it's cute! But it's not too cute that a man wouldn't wear it. Adorable and useful. That fits my criteria for being in my kitchen! I've already ordered another set to give to my mom when she and my dad host Christmas for the big extended family.

    If it is a Holiday I try to get something representing said Holiday. Perhaps candles, towels or a candy dish or cookie plate, filled of course. If it is not for something special then of course wine and/or flowers.

    I typically bring a bottle of wine. Sometimes I bring a unusual plant or food item depending on the occasion.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
