Comfort Food

Comfort food!   You know, those great dishes Mom always made on winter Sundays.  Yum.  

Well why let a good thing go?   Let's make it even better and jazz it up a bit with some good wine.  

Meat loaf is the probably the ultimate comfort food.  There are lots of ways to make a meat loaf but whether it's beef, pork, veal, or even turkey, there's one wine that covers em all - zinfandel.  With jammy fruit and a hint of spice it's meat loaf friendly regardless of the preparation.  

Pot roast is a great American meal too.  Slow cooked and simmering for hours, it lets us anticipate soft and lush Merlot from California or Washington .  

And when's the last time you had roast beef?   Well preheat the oven!   The tender juiciness of roast beef is not only easy, it's delicious, especially when you sip a Cabernet Sauvignon with it.  

Winter Sundays, comfort foods and the jazzy flavor of a favorite wine.  

Pop the cork™.
