I don't like to play favorites, but I can't help but gush over today's bottle, the 2011 Eroica Riesling ($22), a superlative vintage from Washington state. Begat out of a partnership between two prominent Riesling producers (Dr. Loosen of Germany and Chateau Ste. Michelle of Washington state), this Washington-bred white marries the best qualities of the pair, resulting in a complex and eminently drinkable wine. Its intensely crisp and fruity perfume (think citrus and white peach) is well balanced by lingering minerality and moderate acidity on the tongue. While this bottle isn't cheap per se, it's an excellent value, and a bottle that I'd happily pay more than its moderate price tag for.

Truth be told, I could easily down a bottle of this wine solo (though I wouldn't recommend that), but I would wager that it would come to life when paired with spicy-sour-sweet Thai food or briny shellfish. I'll be sipping on mine while supping on fruits de la mer — specifically moules à la marinière.

For Americans, it's more common to slurp a coffee in a plastic on-the-go cup during a morning commute than to sit down with friends for a proper tea, so that explains why we don't know mluch about English tea etiquette. Some of the rules and behavior expected at afternoon tea are not intuitive, so it's necessary to learn them. While a few of these customs may seem silly, many serve the important purpose of avoiding spills and hot-water burns. If you find yourself sitting down to afternoon tea, whether in England or otherwise, then here are a few tea etiquette pointers.

Even though they might cost a pretty penny, some specialty oils are worth splurging for in addition to your go-to vegetable or olive oil. Flax oil lends salad dressings or smoothies a nutty, rich flavor, while coconut oil has a high smoke point and also offers a tropical flavor to everything from fried tofu to vegan baked goods. Some oils like walnuts and pumpkin seed are best drizzled over finished dishes for a distinct roasted aroma. One of the most interesting oils I've ever used is La Tourangelle Avocado Oil ($15), which is surprisingly neutral and can be used in temperatures up to 350ºF. I love drizzling it atop black beans and in Mexican-inspired salads.

There are a plethora of oils to choose from beyond canola and olive, so tell us: what's your favorite specialty oil, and how do you use it?

With its traditional heaviness, coq au vin may not be thought of as a conventional warm-weather dish, but PaprikaPinot has created a summertime variation of the French favorite.

This chicken dish is rich in flavor yet surprisingly light. While red wine is used in the braising liquid, a lighter bodied wine like Pinot Noir is blended with chicken broth to make a lighter Summer variation.
