How do we 'wine' this summer? Cans in hand, of course! H-E-B has some of the COOLEST varietals right now for less than $15.

The Most Perfect Pecan Pie |
It's National Pie Day this Wednesday, July 12th -- an essential southern tradition! The Houstonian's insanely popular Pecan Pie is served with "Texas-love" at both Olivette and The Manor House. Pastry Chef Catherine Rodriguez likes hers warm with house-made bourbon ice cream, pecan streusel and creamy caramel sauce.

Bon Fête Nationale! Join the folks over at Rainbow Lodge for a celebratory four-course dinner in honor of Bastille Day. It's your opportunity to taste great French wines from Liberation de Paris, a winery owned by Houstonians Jean-Francois and Nathalie Bonneté, paired perfectly with Chef Mark Schmidt's cuisine! |
