Blue Cheese Sauce to put on that Steak you are Grilling Up to Pair with a Malbec Wine #WorldWineTravel

This sauce is sooooo good that I had to stop myself from eating it with a spoon so that there was enough left for guests to enjoy with their steaks.  Sweet Vidalia onion caramelized in butter and then combined with Blue Cheese and Cream for a decadent, savory sauce.

A sauce this creamy and delicious demands a strong wine and this Malbec from Argentina was up to the task.......

Food and Wine of Patagonia and the Weekly Menu #WorldWineTravel

The World Wine Travel group has headed to South America this year to explore the wines, foods and cultures of this vast region.  

Cam of Culinary Cam is hosting this month and invited us to join her in exploring Argentina saying:

For February's #WorldWineTravel event, let's focus on Beyond Malbec from Mendoza. That can mean (1) a Malbec from elsewhere in Argentina or (2) a different variety from Mendoza.

I love Malbecs so I went on a search for one made outside of Mendoza locating a bottle made by Catena Family Wines in Patagonia.

A Great Burger on Homemade Pretzel Hamburger Buns paired with a Malbec from Argentina #BreadBakers #Winophiles

 A while back I shared with you a 3 Cheese Hamburger that I had made for dinner one evening.  What I didn't share was my recipe for the Homemade Pretzel Bun on which I served it or the Malbec Wine with which I paired it.

Love is in the Air and We are Spicing Things Up with a Cahors Wine paired with an American Steak #Winophiles

February is quite the month.  Coldest month of the year for many of us, which makes us think about snuggling together to stay warm.  Of course, we also celebrate St. Valentine Day which encourages thoughts of love and tenderness. 

 Cahors Wine

We celebrate Black History Month here in the USA where we acknowledge and appreciate  of our fellow brothers and sisters who have contributed so much to our American history.  It is American Heart Month and as always hearts are the symbol of love.  The Superbowl is played where we turn out to cheer and show love for our favorite team.

Basque Chicken Stew paired with Black Wine #FrenchWinophiles

This flavorful chicken stew from the Basque region is quick enough to enjoy as a weeknight meal yet elegant enough to proudly serve to guests.  Served over rice scented with turmeric it makes a delicious one dish meal.


I paired it with a deep, dark, dry red wine made with Malbec grapes from the Cahors.  Join me and the French Winophiles as we explore this region and the wines it offers...
