Q: What's your favorite quintessential wine/food pairing?

Unfair. This answer changes daily. But today, I'm longing for the Chianti we'd get out of the barrel in Tuscany, poured at the table from traditional Rooster pitchers with Sage and Black Pepper Linguini that we had just made from scratch...pecorino and favas scattered across the table.

Q: Turkey Day Confessions: Is there one thing you love for Thanksgiving that's just a little embarrassing? Jell-o salad, green bean casserole, Cool Whip?

I'll answer this and I am not embarrassed. I like plain simple Pumpkin Pie with Reddi-Whip. Dan always makes gorgeous pies; he's doing Ginger Maple Pumpkin for our take-away this year for example. But I am happiest with simple creamy Pumpkin Pie with sweet fluffy Reddi-Whip from an aerosol can. Best. Breakfast. Ever.
