IF LOVE WERE FOOD... HEARTY, DELICIOUS, UNEXPECTED
Christine, editor for FoodSided.com, says love is something hearty and delicious. "I like something subtle but flavourful, like Braised Short Ribs Over Polenta. And instead of what you might expect, like the traditional sparkling wine or bold, brash reds, I’ll be enjoying a Winter Rose. While everyone knows about rosé for the warmer months, the change of season doesn't mean that rose has to be banished to the wine fridge. Winter Rose is a barrel-aged and perfect for the hearty winter dishes like a braised meat, or just a relaxing evening at home."
