Wineberries grow like weeds where I live in Connecticut. I make jelly with them.
Along with writing about restaurants and chefs, I write about cooking at home, something I’ve been doing almost every day for 30 years. I’m fascinated by the process and the transformation.

This strong (8 to 10 abv) brew has sweet malt, spicy and fruity flavors and mild hoppiness, and it mixed beautifully with Cabot Creamery Cheddar in Belgian Tripel Ale fondue. I’ve judged craft and European brew contests with my colleagues from Yankee Brew News.
