Vintage

This time of year I become more interested in white wine. During the winter months, OK, most of the time, I'm a sucker for red. Give me a Cab, Temperanillo or Pinot any day. Please don't be disillusioned that I know anything about wine. Really, I'd like to, but another day perhaps. I just enjoy it. So as the weather warms, I like a chilled white. This alone should be an indication that I am not a wine buff, but I have always liked the Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. Maybe it is a nod to Kinsey Milhone, but I've always stuck to Chardonnay when it comes to whites. I have enjoyed immensely the Pinot Grigio I had the other night and is marinating on my chicken right now with some italian seasoning and a little olive oil. Hopefully as delicious as it sounds.
Another marinade I tried the other night and adored was the fresh teryaki. I don't care for teryaki in normal circumstances, but this was delicious. 1 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup each white and brown sugar, 2 chopped green onions, 2 tbs olive oil and a little garlic. Delish if I do say so myself! Also lovely on the squash, green onion and mushrooms that we grilled as well.
After all this talk of wines and food, it is time to watch my guilty pleasure--the finale of The Biggest Loser. I suppose Jillian would yell at me. Eh.
