Lindsay Lohan Balks at Picking Up the Bill
By Kristin Boehm
Hide your valuables and lock up your liquor: Is that the warning that should herald a visit from Lindsay Lohan? Based on her reputation for having allegedly sticky fingers – with the latest claim from a bar that was nearly left holding the bill for bottles of bubbly – that may not be such a bad idea. Lohan, 23, was partying at the Crown Bar in Los Angeles Nov.
Rosemary Pear Sparkler
Choosing champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate the holiday season is a nice low-calorie alternative to spirits or beer, but when I'm craving a cocktail, a plain glass of Prosecco doesn't always do the trick.
If you're looking for a nice cocktail to enjoy this holiday season, try my refreshing rosemary pear sparkler. It makes a great aperitif, and the flavors of pear and rosemary really tie together the feelings of Fall.
Flichman Vineyards
I recently had a chance to attend a wine tasting for Flichman from Argentina. I especially enjoyed the experience because I had a chance to chat with the winemaker, Luis Cabral de Almeida. From my standpoint, it didn't hurt that he was pretty hot also.
We began with a bottle of their Chardonnay for $8. Frankly I didn't want to taste a bottle of $8 Chardonnay as I hate that overly oaked buttery flavor of vanilla predominating, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delightful and easily equal to wines I have enjoyed at twice the price. In fact every one of the wines' price points was spectacular. Although there were some I preferred more than others, I enjoyed all of them. All the others, with the exception of an interesting and delightful champagne (for about $8!!) all the rest were red. In fact, even the champagne was made in part from Malbec also!
Christmas Apple Martinis
My family picks a signature cocktail for each holidays to keep things colorful and festive (and so we don't just default to beer, wine and champagne). Last Christmas my mom picked Apple martinis. They were a bit sweet, but no one complained.
