PAIRINGS/MEALS
Ratings on wine and food are all personal and range from 7 (yuck) to 10 (divine) as follows: divine(10), wonderful (9.9-9.5), yummy (9.4-9.0), ok(8.9-8.6), blah(8.5-8.0), and yuck(7.9-7.0).

CREATING THE 3X EFFECT
When food and wine meet, lots can happen some of it good and some not so good. However, when a certain wine combines with a certain food in just the right way, there is a harmonizing of flavors that creates something magical. A wonderful third flavor is created, combining the better of the two, but altogether new and different. This is the 3X Effect, and the main reason we sit down at the table every night. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, the 3X Effect is one of those moments you want to last forever.

RECIPES (Most recipe amounts yield two servings.)
Disclaimer: It should be noted that as an improvisational cook, when I created many of these recipes, the measurements are approximate and to my personal tastes no stainless steel test kitchen with two dozen tongues wagging and commenting. I hope these personal recipes will be inspirational springboards for your own experimental fun and enjoyment. Remember, always taste as you go, adding a little bit of ingredient or flavoring at a time. Create something that is uniquely yours, making every meal, no matter how simple, very special! And always...listen to your mouth!!

Recipes, being improvisational, allow space for that magic to happen, the 3X Effect.  

WINES TASTED
We've tried to pick a wide range of wines both in price and type. Lots of experimentation went into the wine lists you will see. The ratings range from 7.0 (Yuck) to 10 (Divine), with most of them somewhere in between. These ratings should give you an idea of what we believe is good and not so good with our food selections. As you get to know our taste preferences, they can guide you in purchasing wine for your next meal.
