Sip of the Day

Did you know there is an entire day dedicated to bagels? National Bagelfest day celebrates this traditional Jewish bread that is now a staple in American culture and carbohydrate rich diets! Enjoy these boiled (the traditional Jewish bagels are completed by a step of boiling) bites for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner with a healthy scoop of spreadable cheese and a meat of your choice. As somewhat of a bagel purest, I like mine savory with cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, and smoked salmon. While you might think it’s sacrilegious, this kind of bagel is a hearty treat for a lazy Monday night dinner; however, you might want to offset the quick-digesting carbs with a helping of steamed spinach on the side! Pair this surprising dinner with a high-end Pinot Noir like Résonance Découverte Vineyard Pinot Noir. The wine is smooth, with a moderate intensity which won’t overpower the delicate salmon flavors. Breakfast for dinner anyone?
