Dare to Pair: Grilled Cheese | Feb 19th, 2014

It’s been awhile since I got the daring gang together (and brought enough wine to make the pairings really daring), and what’s better on a long President’s day weekend than putting wine with one of America’s most traditional foods? Answer: Nothing Obviously this wasn’t a turkey pairing, but cheese...

About Laura Uncorked

I love wine and I love life. This blog is a hodge-podge combination of the two. Like many 20-somethings, I’m still figuring out just what I do (and don’t) know about vino. Too often, realizing how much I didn’t know gave me a headache worse than the morning after two bottles of Bordeaux, so I created Laura Uncorked to deliver a helpful, humorous window into the wine world. Whether I’m enjoying a fine young beaujoulais, bargain-basement boxed wine, or just trying to figure out how to open Pinot Grigio without a corkscrew after a long day at work (Hey, we’ve all been there), the results will be here. Drink up. Cheers, LB
