Grilled Peach, Corn and Tomato Flatbread
What screams late summer more than tomatoes, peaches and corn? These happen to be my favorite seasonal fruits and vegetables so I had to come up with a recipe that combined them all. The only reason I’m sad to bid farewell to summer (fall is my favorite season) is the...
Tuscan Pappa al Pomodoro

Pairing Wine with Movies
With colder and darker days creeping in and social gatherings still not advisable, I love curling up in the evening with a good movie and a nice glass of wine…Querciabella’s wines have such big personalities, I thought it would be fun to try and pair them with some of my favorite movies.

My favorite rosés this year
It would be quite impossible to include every rosé I love in one article, simply because there are more well-made wines in this category than ever before. For a wine lover like myself, this is really exciting. This year I set a new goal this of trying as many...
