DUTCH OVEN

just bought my super helpful DUTCH OVEN.. it's very easy to use and functional.. must have for every kitchen.. perfect for cooking meat, chicken, soup,stew and even bread... love it!!! it's heavenly!!!

BRAZIN

i think the best thing made out of grapes is vine... there is a wine out there for every taste.. sweet, sour, fruity ,red ,white, pink and much more.. i personally prefer red wine.. not too sweet not too sour.. so finally i found the best wine for my taste.. BRAZIN old vine zinfandel.. it is bombasticly delicious..

Food friendly, white meat, game, pizza, spicy dishes, Chinese cuisine, and Thai cuisine. Zinfandel goes well with "typical American" food - burgers, etc. It's hearty enough to match up with thick red sauces.
