Wine by the Bottle

I brought dessert! From coffee to cocktails, Amarula can be used to spice up any of your favourite drinks over the holidays. Scroll on to see what I made; in no particular order except legitimately from coffee to cocktails ... 1 Coffee Surprise: Amarula, coffee, whipped cream, marshmallows, hot chocolate a nice warm up after a cold afternoon walk - believe me 2 Amarula Espresso Martini: which calls for an espresso, 1oz.Amarula and 1oz.Bourbon (yes bourbon ) but this was too strong for me so I had to cut down on the bourbon - but my whisky peeps - you'll love this!! 3Here's my espresso martini version: espresso, vodka, kahlua and Amarula - topped with a chocolate biscotti Careful, these go down too easy! 4I call this the Amuccino which is simply a cappuccino with Amarula added to the milk before frothing perfect for the holiday mornings 5 This is my rendition of a B52 (everyone knows that classic shot right?) Well this is a layered shot of kahlua, peppermint schnapps and Amarula - in that order. And I made it even easier for you with the next shot... 6 The new flavoured mint mocha Kahlua! Save a step above, eliminate the peppermint schnapps and use this mint flavour instead. Top with Amarula. 7 Amarula Citrus Creme: Amarula and triple sec - that's it! It was too easy and too delicious! Think of an orange creamsicle in a glass garnished with a twirled up clementine - tis the season! 8 Finally, only because it's pomegranate season and I still have leftover Halloween candy ... Amarula Grand Delight: pomegranate seeds and juice, creme de cacao, milk/cream, Amarula and shaved flakes of chocolate Recipe 178 can be found on @amarulacanada's website - link in bio. There's a lot of food and drink recipes there! I chose to play with ones where I had most of the ingredients at home but really, who doesn't have a little crate of clementines and pomegranates at home right now Available at the @lcbo in 750ml #342246 and 1.14L #605857 Now tell me, which one was your favourite?

I really have no other explanation except that Wednesday was National Zinfandel Day and I was craving cannelloni (ricotta & spinach filled) Happy Friday everyone!... #zinfandel #turley #juvenile #nationalzinfandelday #californiawine #cannelloni #winebythebottle #wineawarded #winebytheglass #uncorked #redwine #wine #winelover #vino #winepairing #foodandwinepairing #winelovers #winetime#winebottle #winebottles #food #winelife #drinks#wines

For the past couple of years I have participated in #TasteTheSeason through Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake which was held at several wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This year things are different therefore participating wineries are offering Taste The Season At Home which includes a six-pack of wine with recipes from local restaurant chefs to pair within the set. It was difficult for me to choose, so I opened my "cellar" and to continue my support I uncorked Marynissen Esta...tes Winery Heritage White which I had purchased during one of my stops in the previous events. Since I had received a fresh batch of mild :,-) Portuguese pimenta sauce the day before and couldn't wait to open it, I sizzled it up in some oil and garlic, added shrimp, squid & parsley and tossed it with tagliatelle. Check out the sets through the link in my bio to #TasteTheSeasonAtHome and let me know your favourites! #tastetheseason #niagarawine #NOTLwine #marynissenestates #heritagecollection #supportlocal #winebythebottle #wineawarded #winebytheglass #uncorked #wine #whitewine #winelover #winepairing #foodandwinepairing #winelovers #winetime #winebottle #winebottles #food #winelife #wines

Welcome to a meal with Amarula! Amarula is made from the fruit of the sacred Marula tree that grows wild and uncultivated inthe subequatorial regions of Africa. Unlike other cream liqueurs, Amarula is not whiskey based. It is a lighter, fruit-basedliqueur made from distilled Marula spirit. The marula spirit is aged in French oak barrels(like some wines ) which gives it a nutty flavour and long lasting finish. Light caramel colour. Rich and velvety smooth taste with hints ...of vanilla and caramel and theexotic, natural Marula fruit. Distinctive, well rounded, creamy in texture & taste and versatile in terms of mixability; here's proof...a few things I made inspired by Amarula; Start with their signature cocktail: Amarula and coconut water - light, easy drinking and so refreshing! Paired this with a spinach & strawberry salad topped with goat cheese & almond slivers. I mixed maple syrup and Amarula (but you don't need the syrup) and drizzled on top as a dressing. The things that pop into my brain Next is Amarula Mushroom Cream Sauce layered between and on top of a couple round steaks, with mashed potatoes and a couple carrots recipe in the link in my bio... And dessert: affogato taken up a notch! Topped it with Amarula! Just incredible! Amarula is available at the @lcbo in 750ml (which is on sale now for $3 off - until Nov29) but you might as well go big with the 1.14L - trust me you'll want this at home for the holidays. Stay tuned for some cocktails... #Amarula #AmarulaFoodie#MyAmarulaMoment #AmarulaCoffeeChats#HostessGift #AmarulaAffogato #AmarulaTrust #winebythebottle #wineawarded #winebytheglass #foodandwinepairing #food #winelife #drinks #wines #affogato #mushroomsauce #salad Notable Life The Refined Society

Remember last week when it was 20C and you could sit outside for an early dinner with a hot plate of tagliatelle soaked in homemade tomato & basil sugo topped with shaved parmigiano and a refreshing glass - who are we kidding, a bottle - of lambrusco... Remember... Happy Saturday!

You wake up in the morning, scroll through insta and see one too many pics and references to pizza. So, you go get a pizza Brought home a prosciutto pizza from Revolver Pizza (balsamic reduction on the side). I was also looking for an excuse (because I need one ) to open this Consorzio from Stratus Vineyards which is a beautiful blend of 48/48% CabSauv/Sangiovese - Niagara grown - with 4% Merlot. I love when things are just meant to be ... In '13 Stratus made 100% Sangiovese as well, which I had about two years ago and it was spectacular!
