I realized I never posted the results of last year’s wine brine project. Well here they are: BIG WASTE OF TIME! even worse, BIG WASTE OF WINE!!! To recap, I’d never brined before. And by me I mean my mom, because let’s face it she’s the one cooking pretty much the whole meal. Honestly, if … Continue reading
Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games movie, comes out today. Last year I did what kind of wine each district would make if they were allowed to let their grapefriend flags fly, but let’s now take a look at what wine grape best fits each of the main characters.
