In the summer, a crisp white wine with fresh, fruity notes can be an exceptionally fitting beverage for the season. As summer marks the beginning to many fruits coming into season, a wine with similar notes and aromas can be exceptionally pleasing on a beautiful summer day.
Whether it's a picnic, barbecue, or quiet dinner at home, I think you'll be pleased with Handley Cellars 2007 Riesling. You'll find flavors of apricots, green apples, peach, and even exotic fruits like starfruit or guava. With this complex yet delicious balance of fruity aromas and tastes, you'll certainly be reminding your taste buds that yes, it's summertime.
As a brownie lover, I've come across the acute pain of having uneven brownie pieces: some mushy and gooey, other's chewy and delicious. If you're an end person, check out the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan. Instead of undercooked middles, this pan makes sure that every piece has two chewy edges to compliment the softness of the perfectly cooked inards. The pan uses a zig-zag pattern wide enough for solitary brownie slices (though who can ever have just one?). If you're a gooey middle fan, forget it, this is not the pan for you, but if you're a perfectionist brownie lover, then jump on board.
The best part? No struggle to get those treats out of the pan and into your mouth. Each pan is non-stick, easy to clean and even comes with a miniature spatula. Trick: When making your brownies in this awesome pan, substitute the oil in the brownies with a half cup of almond butter. It leaves the treats moist, gooey and rich.
Why keep yourself on edge? Enjoy a delicious brownie without the struggle, courtesy of Baker's Edge Brownie Pan.
Craving an all-you-can-eat Israeli feast? In the center of busy Tel-Aviv, alive with markets, shops and eats, you'll find Dr. Shakshuka's packed with tables full of colorful plates of food. Shakshuka is a traditional dish with roots in North African culture, consisting of hot tomato sauce and poached eggs that arrives in a steaming iron pan.
Dr. Shakshuka's will have the food to your table in a zip and will keep it coming. Besides the shakshuka, our long, wooden table was filled with baked beans, couscous, lettuce salad, cucumber salad, cooked carrots with cabbage, and dips for pita served family style. Although you'll think you're full, stick around for dessert of sweetened hot tea and moist cakes with raisins.
Tip: Join a friend and split their lunch for two: shaksuka, salad, a spread of small spicy dishes, bread, lemonade and tea, for just 88 NIS total (about $23). Great price for great food.

If you're anything like me, you've been craving a good burger ever since the temperatures outside hit 70. But gorging yourself on a delicious meaty sandwich does not always mean you have to leave class at the door. Enter B Cellars Blend 24 from 2005, a glorious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Petite Syrah. With notes of currents, black cherry, mineral, sage and smoked bacon, it's the perfect match for a juicy burger or discreetly charred steak.
The best part? Since this wine is not as young as some of its counterparts, it is best sipped slowly between 2010 and 2016. Tip: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen and into the wild with this wine! Since it has smooth, rich undertones, it'll pair nicely with a roaring campfire and ghost stories.
