Dear Natalie, February 24, 2012

Have you chosen your wine for Oscar night? If not, there's still time ...

My top nominees include a Best Supporting Chardonnay in a chicken dish role, along with a heart-breaking Pinot Noir that's a diva in the glass and satin on the tongue. 

I've also given the nod to a number of undiscovered indie bottles in my latest wine picks that out-perform their price point. Snap them up now before they become famous.

You'll also find links to award-winning recipe for warm cheese gougeres as well as memorable "wine moments" in various movies below. 

This Sunday evening, I'll be breaking out the champagne and potato chips ... that's my version of Hollywood baby!
