Happy Hour: St. Tropez
Ever since I got acquainted with Dubonnet, the old-school French aperitif has held a spot in my liquor cabinet. It also plays an important role in my drink of the moment.

Happy Hour: Dubonnet Rouge
I've always been a complete novice to the category of spirits known as aperitifs. These old-school standbys — which include liqueurs, dry champagne, and fortified wines — rose to fame in Europe in the 1800s, and have remained popular ever since.

Happy Hour: Pfeiffer Rutherglen Muscat
While I'm not crazy about a female oriented bottle of Port, I have recently been loving dessert wines. More specifically Chris Pfeiffer's Rutherglen Muscat. If you've never tried Muscat — a fortified dessert wine more luscious than Port — hurry and get your hands on this Australian import.

Sunday Dinner: Roasted Cornish Game Hens with Orange Sauce
One of the first roasts I really enjoyed making was a recipe for Cornish game hens. The tiny little hens always make for a delicious simple, yet elegant meal. For this week's Sunday Dinner, I thought it would be nice to find a good Cornish hen recipe for everyone to try.
