 It's #SparklingWineSunday and today I'm going with some bubbles by La Vieille Ferme aka as their Sparkling Blanc (sample). I discovered this fabulous French farm-sh table wine years ago and it's been one of my favorites ever since. The Famille Perrin makes the wine and is one of the leading producers in the Southern Rhône Valley of France.
For over 40 years La Vieille Ferme has been bringing yummy affordable wine for every day pairings. It's what I'd like to think of as a down low "sugar daddy in a glass". While the wines are affordable, they can be paired with bougie food and make you feel fancy. A few years ago they released their Sparkling Blanc, a blend of 90 % Chardonnay and 10 % Ugni Blanc. It gives good flirty bubbles on the palate with notes of fruit and brioche bread. The best part is a bottle only runs around $13.99. You can sip as is or throw in a little Chambord or St. Germain. I'm throwing in some violette liqueur and loving it. Great for sipping on Sunday! La Vielle Ferme are wines that you can open anytime and anywhere. Get them in!

Astrology and food are two of my favorite things, but when you put them together it’s lit! CatherineUrban swirled both together in Your Astrological Cookbook: The Perfect Recipe For Every Sign. She’s a horoscope columnist for BonAppetite.com and low-key foodie that seems to know a thing or two about a good recipe. Simon and Schuster sent me a copy to check out. I absolutely love it.As the book states, “Let your Stars Be Your Culinary Guide” I’m down for that, how about you? The book will assist you in finding the perfect dish for you and your guest that’s guided by the stars.  When I flipped to the Scorpio section, I was very happy with the recipes especially for the Triple Chocolate Cupcakes and the Dark ‘N’ Stormy. There are some really good recipes throughout the whole book. I plan on making every single one of the dishes in the Capricorn section. Besides breaking down recipes for each sign there’s also advice on how to use astrology to plan your meals.  Food has always been a give part of culture, especially since the beginning of time. In fact people would spend days planning the perfect menu and cooking an elaborate meal for a community to come together. Why not tap into the stars to see what you should cooks. This kitchen witch totally is all about that. It's a fabulous spin on a cookbook. There are some mouth-watering photos of the food in the book. However note that the book focuses more on recipes for each sign and tips on swirling astrology into your kitchen. It's the perfect addition to a star loving foodie. I give it a big thumbs up with a big “MIAM” (means yummy in French).  |
