Favourite grape or wine region?

Tempranillo for sure. 

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

Dog person! I’m actually writing this as I listen to my dog snore on the other side of the couch…

Anything else you want to add?

I’m an actor! I stick mostly to theatre because I prefer the feedback from the live audience. I also teach theatre to kids in a few different capacities around the city. My passion is storytelling, and I love sharing that with others!

Thanksgiving Pairings


Turkey

Hooo boy, here we go… the marathon of dinner; the star of the show; the turkey. We want to start with a thawed, unseasoned turkey, so make sure to take it out in time to thaw it completely! Make a herbed butter by mixing fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley) garlic, kosher salt, pepper, and butter, then lather up the whole turkey with the butter. Make sure you get under the skin and in the cavity as well! Put a layer of chicken stock, carrots, celery, onions, and garlic on the bottom of the tray; we’ll use that to baste. Roast the bird at 450 for 20 mins, then turn it down to 325 for the rest of the cook. Baste every 20 mins, and cover the top of the tray with foil once the skin starts to brown. Lastly make sure you let the bird rest for 20-30 mins before you serve it! 

These tips will make sure you have the juiciest turkey that’ll put everyone in that oh so special food coma.
