Think ‘Big Holiday Reds’ + Bubbly
Robust holiday reds have made their way onto shelves in H-E-B’s Wine Department. Wine Manager Michael Catalano at The Cellar at San Felipe shared his recommendations for full-bodied Napa cabs, two different styles, along with a sparkling rosé that caught our eye for New Year’s Eve…
Diet and Drink Healthy at the Same Time
The word diet puts me in a bad mood. And, if that diet goes even further and eliminates my daily glass of wine, that mood gets even worse. Good news—you can work a glass of wine into your diet, perhaps even a cocktail or beer.
The Holiday Reds We’re After at H-E-B
It’s hard to believe the holidays are upon us. With the recent cold front that’s blown in, November is exhibiting true form! Ralph ‘My Wine Guy’ is all set with his must-have red wines featured this month at H-E-B…
The Right Red Wine, Red Meat & Chocolate Could Be Healthy
What a start to the new year! Actually, in moderation, these ‘luxuries’ can be good for you. Let’s start with red meat—a particular kind of red meat. Next, chocolate – dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidant properties. Last but not least – red wine.

Pop the top but don't wake the baby
You’ll be glad you popped the top on the delicious Escargot Bordelaise at San Antonio’s newest downtown restaurant Le Midi. It’s French with a capital ‘F’. While the name implies ‘lunch’, bring your appetite. Dinner is hearty fare. The escargot was one of my favorite dishes in a delicious red wine, mushroom and bacon broth. […]
