Uncorked: Fall Wines

“I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.” - Gwyneth Paltrow

Now that the season is slowly changing, and the air’s getting a bit more chilly … I’m switching up the wines we drink at home.

During the warmer months, I love a nice glass of champagne, rosé or crisp chardonnay. Yet, during the fall and winter I lean towards nice full bodied reds.

Today, I’m sharing a few food and wine pairings for the new season. There are some perfect red wines for the cooler months that are ahead of us, and guess what … you don’t have to give up that delicious rosé either . Also, I’m featuring a few of my favorite types of wines to stock your wine cabinet or fridge with as well.

Cork & Fork: Salad Pairings

"No phone, a movie, a glass of wine, and some salad. Perfect!" - Kate Moss

It is officially salad season you guys! Now that the warmer months are here, I typically like to eat a little bit lighter. Since I'm eating a lot more salads lately, I've been enjoying pairing wines with my light and healthy meals. I have been sipping on Rose/Blush wines and Sauvignon Blanc lately! The wines I'm featuring today I've had at some of my favorite restaurants, and fell in love with them. Whenever we find a new wine at a restaurant that is amazing, G will search for them at Total Wine to see if they are in stock. We have been doing this for years, and really like and pick up a few bottles of our faves.

Today I'm pairing two of my easy at home salads with some amazing wines from Total Wine.
