Wine Season is all Seasons! Wine is a year-round celebration for people. I hope this opens your eyes to wine culture because it is not talked much about in daily conversations. It’s always Wine Magic Time! I started to learn about some of these tidbit facts as I became a wine taster and enthusiast. The monthly wine club I am in gives you much more than the Best Wine from Napa and Sonoma California. So let’s get started!
Raised in an Italian Home
Because I was raised with an Italian Mom named Dottie and a Swedish Dad named Vernon we had wine and fun always. A little crazy yes, but was in a fun-loving environment! Family and celebrations were BIG in our house with 4 sisters, mom and dads birthdays alone gave us lots to celebrate. Mom loved the holidays so we always had big gatherings at the house. Dad was a Navy Guy and Mom was in the Navy Wives Club and they knew how to throw a party! I think you get the picture now of how much we celebrated in our lives. I loved it!
Just a shout-out to my Dad Vernon who is 100 years young on Sept 6th, 2022!
In my family, we started sipping wine with meals when we were about 10 years old. Being exposed to wine with food at a young age was so much fun! None of my friends at this age had ever tasted wine. However, I think I was so fortunate to do this because I learned moderation and the wonder of wine and food pairing. My Mom had these little tiny wine glasses she served our wine in at the table so truly just maybe 2 oz of wine. Not much but we all felt included in the family celebrations because we got to sip wine with dinner.
What is your wine culture from the past?
Moms Wine Pairing
Mom paired her spaghetti sauce with a Cabernet Sauvignon and she added it to her sauce so the flavor of the wine and the sauce always complimented each other! I still do this to this day when I make Mom’s spaghetti sauce! It didn’t matter if it was spaghetti or lasagna her sauce made everything better. We also had Chianti an Italian Red wine in the house often and Mom paired this one with pizza. My grandfather on my mom’s side of the family was 100% Italian and he loved his wine with dinner! I love it also with meatloaf and a salad with strawberries.
