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 – Sopa Verde – Portuguese Kale and White Bean Soup
Think you can’t find a delicious wine to enjoy with this soup for $10? Think again!
Friday Four – Cast Iron Skillet Broccoli Parmesean Gratin
We often think of Willamette Valley as Pinot Noir, but excellent Chardonnay is made in Oregon, too.
Friday Four – Christmas Cake
Have you ever tried to drink a glass of crisp dry wine with dessert?
Friday Four – Northern Italian Inspired Mushroom Pasta
Sangiovese, the most widely planted grape in Italy is used to make this intensely dark cherry, spicy and delicious red wine.
