wineandspiritsmagazine.com

Bordeaux red varieties have been in the ground in the Finger Lakes at lot longer than you might expect, and recent dramatic improvements in quality have them back in the spotlight. This 2019 Meritage from Fox Run is a compellingly savory case in point.

Fox Run winemaker Peter Bell’s first best wine was a 1991 cabernet, from vines planted in the 1970s. And while he finds that climate change may have improved growing conditions for red varieties, he attributes recent improvements in Finger Lakes reds to changes in how they work with the vines.

So, it seemed like a good idea to have one last blow-out day of food and fun. Read more.

Home Remedies for Ordinary Fatigue and Aches

Fatigue, aches, and some mild pain are a part of many individuals’ daily lives. In fact, it is probably part of everyone’s life on some occasions. Just because you have had a bout of insomnia, overworked at the gym, or your osteoarthritis is acting up because the weather is changing, is no reason to head to urgent care. Read More.

Omelet Bites

You may be aware that a famous drive-through donut shop is now advertising omelet bites. These are really just another version of an omelet muffin, which is a riff on a frittata. A frittata is like a crustless quiche or simply a baked egg dish. Read More.
