Wine! With Laura Pauli

Laura Pauli this back with us this week to talk about wine, her home-based cooking school, and volunteering with World Central Kitchen. She gives us her tips on entertaining with wine!

1. A meal without wine is a meeting.
2. Fancy isn’t necessary; it’s about bringing people together.
3. Champagne and sparkling wine go with everything! There are great ones for around $20.
4. Always have a simple dessert in your freezer…fruit crumbles are perfect.
5. Pine Ridge makes a chenin blanc blend that’s amazing for $16.
6. If you have wine questions, Wine.com has a great chat box!
