An Erin Cooks Holiday Gift Guide

December 1, 2008

Buying gifts for friends and relatives during the holidays is never easy. I tend to over think every possible permutation, run out of time, and end up giving hastily purchased gift cards. If it’s the thought that counts then I guess I’m the Queen … just not in the good way. If you have a [...]

Go Green with Beaujolais Nouveau

November 22, 2008

CK picked up our annual supply of Beaujolais Nouveau last night at Best Cellars. I was a little taken aback when I pulled the bottles out of the bag and discovered that they were made of plastic. I’ll confess, my inner wine snob initially reared her ugly head, and at first I wondered if CK [...]

CK ♥ Erin (Ultimate Osso Buco)

March 16, 2008

Wednesday night I met Chris after work for some Thai food and afterwards we stopped by Best Cellars to do a little impromptu wine shopping. Now, I’ve always been a big fan of Best Cellars.

Erin Cooks The Internet: September 14, 2007

September 14, 2007

I was happily flipping through my October Rachael Ray magazine when I came across a product that definitely made my eyebrows raise. Rachael was promoting BLT Candles. Yes, you read that correctly: bacon, lettuce, and tomato scented wax. For the “bargain price” of $33.95 your house can smell like a cheap diner. I could see [...]

September 7, 2007

The killer combination of two of my absolute favorite things in the whole wide world (wine and ice cream) has finally come to fruition. Wine Cellar Sorbets offers the following delectable dessert appropriate flavors: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sangria Rojo, Riesling, Champagne, and Rosé. Most of us can only purchase the pints online, but if [...]
