Poached Pears & Pie: Summer’s Perfect “Pear-ing”
Mmmm, when I think about July and food, my mind always wanders to the iconic foods of the peak of summer.

Here is a delicious new take on the tastiest summer treat since well, apple pie!Continue Reading

Norton – The All-American Wine
If you have any interest in wine then you already know all about the wine “kings” like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.
