Episode notes
When you just want a glass of wine… and your daughter shows up with a microphone, a bottle of Virginia sparkling and a bowl of caramelized onion dip.
Zena surprises her mom, Elaine, with a sparkling twist for Virginia Wine Month: a Thibaut-Jannison tasting paired with Beauty’s famous caramelized onion dip and salty potato chips. There’s musing and memories of France, including that time her parents took a Harley across Bordeaux.
Elaine is inspired and gifts us this magnificent quatrain:
“The fruit of the vine,
Virginia’s sparkling wine,
A drink for romance,
Like a secret night in France.”
Because sometimes, the best pairing isn’t wine and food.. it’s raising a glass with your mom. 🥂
