How to get dinner on the table and Chicken Dijon

How to get dinner on the table and Chicken Dijon

At this time of year when I’m cooking for our harvest crew every night (there can be anywhere from 10 to 20 people) people always ask me “how on earth do you do it?” That’s a really good question, and sometimes I wonder myself! Even if it looks impossible at first glance, somehow it always […]

Hello!

Hi, I'm Maria. My husband and I own a winery in downtown McMinnville, the heart of Oregon's spectacular Willamette Valley.

Lucky for me I get to cook for the people I love, throw parties and pour a little Pinot. Nothing makes me happier than gathering people around my table and serving them food that nourishes both body and soul.

People often tell me that I'm living their dream life. And truthfully, I'm living mine too.

But let's be real, it's still life.
