In the introductory post to this mini-series, I suggested that we shift perspectives and expand our exploration of wine this holiday season into neighborhoods, avenues and side streets that we aren’t used to. Since consumers are not “consumers as usual” this year, then wine is not business as usual either. If there was ever a

Mariah Carey is many things. She’s a singer, songwriter, producer, mother of twins and the founder of an Irish cream brand called Black Irish. Black Irish officially launched in August 2021 after almost two years of planning and product development. “I really got involved in creating the flavor, working on everything from texture to color

When American schoolchildren learn about the Thanksgiving holiday, their teachers tell them the Pilgrims traded with the Native people for corn. Though it doesn’t appear that the members of the Wampanoag tribe who supposedly supped with the immigrants produced alcohol of their own, so-called Indian corn provided the starchy base for many a stateside beer

From roasted turkey and tangy cranberry sauce to herbaceous stuffing (or dressing), sweet potatoes (sometimes with a marshmallow topping!),

If 2021 was very difficult for wine production (see our report on 2021 wine production here), the situation is quite different for wine exports.

A couple of times I’ve been the recipient of holiday gifts that were obviously picked off the pegboard display in the checkout aisle, as though the giver was waiting to pay for shampoo and then suddenly remembered, “oh, heck!

Tomato pie is a beloved specialty of Philadelphia. It resembles pizza, though Philadelphians know it to be different. In the early 1900s, bread bakers would take leftover bread and top it with “gravy” (red sauce) and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese to save the dough from going to waste. The dish is ubiquitous in Philadelphia

This weekend in Burgundy, France, another record was broken at the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction, with the winning bid of €800,000 ($899,920) for a barrel of wine.

Every Thanksgiving, the cranberry industry suddenly roars to prominence. Along with autumnal flavors like pumpkin spice, cranberries crop up in everything from cakes and pies to Starbucks drinks.
