Make Those Quick-Impromptu Visits Festive, For The Holidays...

We tend to forget that hosting for the holidays also includes what I like to call those impromptu "Fly By" visits from family & friends who just happen to be in town. These sudden "fly by" visits leave no time for cheffin' up something too complex in the kitchen, but of course, you still want to satiate your guests' appetite, while keeping things festive & fun!

See attached image, where I did JUST THAT, by making an antipasto charcuterie board shaped like a Christmas wreath! This quick DIY was super quick & simple, and I encourage you to execute your own so that you can still be crowned "hostess or host with the most," in spite of having limited time! And since antipasto charcuterie boards go so nicely with wine, I decided to pair mine with one of my favorite Cabernet Sauvignons from J. Lohr wines. You guys KNOW that I'm always opting for a bougie-on-a-budget approach to things, and J. Lohr wines does just that by not only bringing you a sophisticated, visually appealing bottle, but most importantly, a great tasting wine that satisfies an array of palettes from the most discerning wine connoisseur to the wine novice. Make sure to pick up a bottle of J. Lohr wine at your local liquor store today, so that you're always coined as hostess or host with the most! And, as always, please enjoy responsibly. Must be 21 years or older to drink in the US.
