Four Ways to Savor the Week
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 – Chili Taco Bowl
My friends from Texas would probably choose a beer for this pairing, but I have another idea!
Friday Four – Pepper Jelly Chicken with Blackeyed Pea Salsa
This dish calls for a crisp, fruity wine to balance the sweetness and spice of the pepper jelly—and Pinot Gris fits the bill perfectly.
Friday Four – Shrimp and Grits
Shrimp and grits – perfect any time
of the day!
Friday Four – Cast Iron Salmon
Cotes du Rhone can be made with a variety of french grapes, winemakers can use up to 23 different grape varietals!
