Every year, I enjoy sharing some of my favorite happy holiday memes as a way to bring fun to the holidays. Given the disaster that was 2020, the need for happy holiday memes is greater this year than ever before. I’ll start my blog with some dark COVID-19 memes but will follow those up with some truly fun holiday memes. I hope this causes you to smile and maybe even giggle. And I hope you are able to share this with the people in your household. As always, if you have any happy holiday wine memes that you can share with me, I would be grapeful.
[Read more…]What Wines Go Best with Hanukkah?
For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, Happy Hanukkah! For those of you don’t celebrate, Happy Hanukkah to you as well. Hanukkah is the holiday of lights, and goodness knows we could all use some light in our lives right now. One of the many blessings of Hanukkah is the foods we eat: latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). The common theme of these two foods is oil, which ties closely to the Hanukkah miracle where a vat of oil that was only supposed to last a day lasted eight days – enough time for more oil to be found to light the synagogue. Today, we’re going to look at Hanukkah wine pairings. We’ll focus on which wines go best with latkes and sufganiyot. Thank you to Food&Wine, JustWineApp, Tablet and Israel21C for their help with this article.
The Holidays in Lockdown Mode? Yes!
This week, CA went into total lockdown. We’re only allowed to leave our homes to go to the grocery store, the post office or the doctor. Very sad, given that we’re in holiday season. But it’s what we need to do. The capacity in CA hospitals’ ICUs is dangerously low. The plan was that when the capacity went below 15%, we would go into lockdown. The lockdown is expected to last through Jan. 4. So, the big question is what can we do to have fun this holiday season.
Having Fun with Thanksgiving Wine Memes
2020 has not been easy. COVID-19? Black Lives Matter? Politics? Definitely a year like no other, at least in our lifetimes. But with the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving taking place tomorrow, it’s a time to think about what we have to be thankful for: friendships, beautiful nature, the roof over our head, wonderful food and much much more. I think this year, in addition to being thankful for serious things, it’s important to be thankful for humor. I know that humor has definitely helped me during these trying times. So, in this article, I’m going to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving wine memes with you. If you have any you can share back with me, I would be grapeful.
[Read more…]Wine-Pairing Thanksgiving Tips
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start sweating about what wines to include with your festive meal. Right? Wrong. There’s no need to sweat about Thanksgiving wine pairings. First of all, this year, you probably won’t have millions of people at your house, and the few guests you’ll have will be very forgiving. Second, given all the amazing flavors associated with Thanksgiving, you can choose many different wines that will work beautifully. Finally, you don’t have to obsess with a perfect pairing for each dish. Nobody eats each dish individually. Instead, we amass all the dishes on our plate and switch between them. Thanksgiving is really a smorgasbord of flavors. With all of this said, lighter, livelier, and lower-alcohol wines are better fits for a festive meal than heavier, more complicated ones. We’ll talk about all of this in the wine-pairing Thanksgiving tips below.
