The Friday Four
The Friday Four is Nancy’s signature weekly note—delivered straight to your inbox. Just four things, thoughtfully chosen: a vibrant, healthy recipe, a smart kitchen tip, a creative spark, and a wine find worth sipping.
Friday Four – South American Inspired Seafood Soup
A winemaker with a fabulous reputation for high end Malbac, Susana Balbo is the mastermind behind this great-value-for-the-money white.
Friday Four – Mediterranean Sheet Pan Ratatouille
A classic wine choice for ratatouille is a rosé from Provence.
Friday Four – Salmon Burgers, with Crunchy Avocado Salad and Honey Dijon Dressing
Think Spain’s Rioja wine is always a rich dark red? Its not!

For this flavorful and unusual salad, you’ll want a wine pairing that can handle sweetness, acidity, and a touch of bitterness without getting lost.
