This isn't your mother's kitchen pantry. Or maybe it is, and she's assembled a carefully curated, picture-perfect pantry where everything from a bag of Cheetos to next year's Thanksgiving dinner has a place, container and precisely-printed label. Nice job, Ma. As food hoarding hit a fever pitch in 2020, so did the desire to organize our food items. Goodbye, closets and cupboards. Hello, walk-in pantries. |

As part of Mansion's food and wine issue, we visit vineyard properties in places like South Africa (look at the views!) and Germany's Moselle region, where the grapes are good and the wine estates are pretty reasonable, too. We also show you how to organize your food storage spaces like the aforementioned pantries, or at the very least, make them respectable enough for Instagram. And if all else fails, you can belly up to one of these five home bars. This year, it's 5 o'clock everywhere. And before we wrap it, we'll leave you with a little bit of news: Ellen DeGeneres is the buyer who bought Dennis Miller's Montecito estate for $49 million back in September. Read more about the deal right here. —Kerry Barger, digital editor of Mansion |
