Many of you have reached out over the years to ask me about wine, specifically what wines would pair well with the various dishes I cook up, especially the meat dishes.
I'll admit that I have sometimes chosen wines just because of their label (and I'm guessing some of you know what I'm talking about). Choosing…
Happy Wednesday guys and gals. I'm excited to share Grandma Pellegrini's meatloaf recipe with you. Make it with your favorite meat, it'll knock your socks off.
I also have a special surprise for you in today's video, so be sure to watch until the end... (did somebody say free wine? Get it HERE.)
PLEASE NOTE : To…
A roast is often times made from a tougher cut of meat, a portion of the leg, for example.
But I recently decided to turn two aged venison backstraps into a roast, which produced wonderful results in a much shorter time. If you don't have venison, I highly recommend beef as well.
The idea is to fold…
While browsing the interwebs, I got lost in the addictive vortex they call Pinterest. If you want to see where I've been wasting my time you can check out my Pins. Anyhow, I saw a very beautiful wine bottle that was turned into a torch and I thought it was enchanting. Since my brother has…

I have a friend named Nate. The first time I heard about him, I was told he was brewing beer in his bathtub.
I was intrigued.
Nate also makes wine.
Nate is also a scientist. This lead me to believe that wine making is over my head. But it turns out it's not really.
I spent some time with…
This past weekend I got invited to Rodney Strong Vineyards for the kickoff of their summer concert series.
If you happen to be in the Sonoma area this summer you should go! There's nothing better than sitting outdoors with a picnic, a glass of wine and good tunes.
Then again it got pretty rowdy.…
I'm in New York this week, which was perhaps serendipitous since it's May Day, and with it, came a lesson in sweet woodruff from Grandma Pellegrini.
