ENTERTAINING... with ease!

Well - here we are again; another season of entertaining is upon us!  Thanksgiving is soon followed by Christmas and Hanukkah; family and friends are gathered 'round... and looking for food!!  From impromptu parties to serious tastings, a wine and cheese party is a simple casual way to entertain  - without a lot of preparation.  Stock a serving station with plenty of glasses, linens and small plates, and let guests serve themselves in style.  To make it even easier, I have a little guide for what types of wine go best with what types of cheeses!

Cheddar/Sharp:  Rhone, Cabernet, Merlot
White (Swiss, Gruyere):  Pinot Noir
Blue Cheese:  auternes, Sherry, Port
Creamy (Brie, Camembert):  Oaky Chardonnay, Champagne
Hard (Parmesan, Reggiano):  Chianti, Barolo, Amarone
Mozzarella/Goats Milk:  Sauvignon Blanc

Tuscany Wine Glasses
The colors of rich, earthy soil and sweet, succulent grapes;
Fresh contemporary, yet classic, styling...
Perhaps the closest we may ever get
to a true Tuscan vineyard.

Dedicated to all of you,
my wonderful customers,

With gratitude and thanksgiving...

THANKSGIVING IS...
 
Thanksgiving is
a time of gratitude to God, our Creator and Provider,
whose guidance and care go before us...
and whose love is with us forever.
 
Thanksgiving is
a time to reflect on the changes,
to remember that we, too, grow and change
from one season of life to another.
 
Thanksgiving is
 a time of changing seasons, when leaves turn golden
in Autumn's wake and apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.
 
Let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty of Autumn,
let us acknowledge the many blessings which are ours;
let us think of our family and friends...
and let us give thanks in our hearts.
