Since last Tuesday, I might have repeated it countless times, but the overwhelming sense of honor and gratitude still lingers within me. Being a part of something truly grand has left an indelible mark. As we delve into this week's "An Outfit and a Glass of Wine," I am dedicating it to one of my all-time favorite opportunities.
Typically this time of year, I have fully made the switch to red wine. I just love a heavy glass of cab or malbec when the temperatures drop. But since moving to Phoenix, I have changed up my seasonal drinking to just match the mood of the day. And this oftentimes depends on the weather. This year, it’s warm. It’s cooler than summer, but it is still very very warm. I can’t bring myself to completely switch over.
Sole Meunière needs no introduction. It’s a french classic dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. It can sometimes be a bit intimidating to order at a restaurant and cook at home because the typical french way is to pan-fry a whole sole. This recipe not only simplifies it, but makes it available to everyone, including your gluten-free friends and family. I miss the days when we could hit the road and visit Napa Valley in an hour. Though those days are long over for me, so much of my weekly experiences there have stuck. I still seek out Napa Valley wines for the sheer nostalgia of another lifetime ago. Seeing familiar names like Frog’s Leap in my local grocery store sparks such a delight in me! I love bringing a little piece of that to you.
