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 – Zesty Cherry Salsa Topped Grilled Chicken
Oregon Pinot Noir for under $20? Yes! Wine Enthusiast magazine gave this vintage a high score as an affordable best buy – and I agree.
Friday Four – Grape Tomato Salad with Baked Feta
Cinsault is not a grape name that comes to mind immediately, but Cinsault, (San-sew), is a major player in the rosé wine world of Provence.
Friday Four – Thai Red Curry Chicken
Chenin Blanc from France’s Loire Valley is a classic pairing with the flavors in red curry.
Friday Four – Shrimp Salad with Mango Vinaigrette
The bright citrus and tropical fruit notes of this wine beautifully complement the sweetness of mango and the delicate freshness of shrimp.
