We've always loved sharing recipes as part of our member newsletters, since food and wine go together like peas and carrots (or macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs... you get it...) we've decided to make it a major part of our blog.
In these unprecedented times, many people are in their homes, seeking the comfort of cooking, making meals for their families, or collaborating in the kitchen with their kiddos. We wanted to regularly share our family recipes with yours, so check back often for new recipes and wine pairings! Cheers!

"Fettuccini Alfredo is just macaroni and cheese for adults" - Mitch Hedberg
Our first recipe is an easy, cheesy, classic comfort food with a bit of a kick courtesy of Old Bay, a seafood spice blend hailing from the mid-Atlantic region. If it's not already a pantry staple in your home, it should be! Adding shrimp instead of chicken gives it a lighter feel and can be a nice change-up from the weeknight regular of poultry.
