The Gougères That Will Change Your Life

In this post, I was going to tell you all about our recent trip to Chicago. About how we went to Eataly in the city and it was so jaw-dropingly fabulous that I could have spent all day there, but settled for an hour. About how I renewed my passion for public transportation – the […]

Feed a Child, Nourish a Mind & South of France Tomato Soup

The elementary school starts at 8:00 and its about 7:30 when my ten-year old climbs up on the stool and sits down to her warm breakfast. It’s about that time too, that […]

Pear & Apple Compote – Thanksgiving Traditions

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.
