As we bid goodbye to summer, what better way to do it than with a refreshing white sangria and a mouthwatering chicken and ribs paella? Imagine sipping a cooling cocktail made of raspberries, green apples, lemons, oranges and a subtle kick of Enchanted Rock Peach Vodka. Then, pairing it with a savory paella that hits all the right notes. Sounds tempting, right? Well, we’re not just painting a pretty picture here, we're going to teach you how to whip up this delightful combo yourself.
As we transition into fall, we’re turning our attention to some fun-filled alcohol appreciation days. Ever heard of National Dawn Day? We thought not, but that doesn't stop us from suggesting it with a cheeky grin. We'll walk you through how to celebrate National Red Wine Day, National Beer Lovers Day, National Drink Beer Day and so much more. Now, who said autumn has to be dull?
Lastly, we shine a spotlight on the vibrant Texas festival scene. From the deeply meaningful Dia de los Muertos Festival to the culturally rich Diwali Essay, and the exquisite North Texas Wine Festival, we give you a rundown of all the must-attend events. Of course, we couldn’t possibly forget to share our personal favorite, the Austin Food and Wine Festival. It’s a feast of flavors amidst the stunning Austin backdrop. And yes, you’re cordially invited to join us on this gastronomical journey. So, tune in, let your taste buds be tantalized, and let's toast to a splendid fall season together.
