My latest Sunday Seven — a bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel. See what’s possible to whip up for dinner in a half hour, get the top 100 wines of 2023, and discover where to best get in the Christmas spirit!


Most Loved 30-Minute Recipes
Seriously delicious dinner in less than a half hour all week long. This roundup of 30-minute recipes covers all the bases. I will be trying the seared gnocchi with roasted arugula — it looks amazing!


Best Christmas Towns
Scrolling through this will very much get you in the Christmas spirit! From coast to coast, here are the most charming towns to visit for Christmas.


Travel Dupes for ’24
These locations are just as trip-worthy as their tried-and-true originals, but you’ll pay less and learn more! Clever destination dupes to consider.


Merry in NYC
New York during the holidays! I thought I’d include this since so many love the sparkle of the city this time of year. A roundup of some favorite things to do in NYC this Christmas.


Apple Preservation Tricks
All you ever wanted to know about this topic, and then some. I recently researched this when using honeycrisp apples in a salad. Good tips!


Top 100 Wines of 2023
Each year Wine Spectator releases its Top 100, where editors select the most exciting wines from thousands reviewed during the course of the year. Get the list!


Wine Weight Loss
Between one-third and half of the total carbon footprint of wine comes from the bottle alone! A new collaboration between wineries, retailers, bottlers, glass manufacturers will aim to reduce that over the next couple of years.
Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!
