Here’s the thing about me; try as I might, I have a type-A personality. Spontaneity and general risk-taking do not come naturally to me. This penchant for order and structure has certainly served me well throughout my life and I came to accept my place in the world as a rule-follower long ago. I created foodie-girl in 2011 with the …
It is impossible to walk into 21c Museum Hotel and not be inspired. I have the distinct privilege of calling this my workplace and on my very best days I am treated to the carefully curated delicacies turned out by Levon Wallace and the team at Proof on Main. Levon’s deft hands craft beautifully creative dishes utilizing the very …
Glynnis and me at Ehlers Estate Matt and Glynnis were in the midst of a pilgrimage when Z and I met them. Beginning in Georgia, they made their way to Miami before eventually landing in Louisville for a four year layover.

‘Adventures On The Wine Route: A Wine Buyer’s Tour of France,’ by Kermit Lynch I found myself reading Kermit Lynch’s “Adventures On The Wine Route: A Wine Buyer’s Tour of France” with Anthony Bourdain’s voice in my head.

Considering that only …
Z and I at Bodega Salentein in the Uco Valley The serenity in the air buzzes with an undercurrent of excitement. We are in the small hamlet of Chacras de Coria, located just 20 miles south of Mendoza and nestled right in the heart of Argentina’s most prominent and burgeoning wine country.

It’s been just over two years since we visited Argentina. After five incomparable days in Buenos Aires, we traded the metropolitan energy for the peace and serenity of Mendoza, Argentina’s most renowned wine region. We toured a variety of wineries during our time in Mendoza, slowly making our way toward the Andes, the flavors of the grapes evolving as we steadily …
Guess who was given a video camera for Christmas?!?! Z and I are very excited to begin incorporating vignettes to foodie-girl.com! This process does not come without a steep learning curve so we are starting small and toasting our new method of expression with this tasty and refreshing citrus cocktail. Vodka, cointreau and simple syrup are brought together by a …
Champagne and New Year’s Eve… there are few things more synonymous with one another. It will come as no surprise to you that I find champagne to be appropriate for any and all occasions.
