Beach House Chardonnay
$9.99
Perfect for any occasion, Beach House Chardonnay has flavors of ripe and juice sunny peach and pineapple lifted by a swirl of citrus that finishes with tangy lemon freshness.
EVIL Cabernet Sauvignon
$10.99
Chris Ringland has done extensive work with some pretty serious Spanish labels already like Alto Moncayo. Enter Evil, en Espanol. Persistent, rounded, expressive red fruits, soft tannins and low acidity, this is ‘evil’ by intent. The style of Aragona is more red berry fruit driven and slightly floral with brown spice notes. The palate is open, engaging and more honest. As Chris Ringland has pointed out, ‘evil’ is ‘live’ backwards.
Mom can eat like a queen!
A quick impromptu survey today on DoingItLocal.com’s Facebook page indicated that mom’s are just looking to spend time with their kids and maybe be pampered a little or receive a handmade gift. Not every mom will want to go out to dinner, especially if getting around is a challenge.
Seafood at Swanson’s Fish Market at 2439 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield is the perfect answer! An oven set at 375 degrees 
I have certainly learned the big difference of FRESH seafood this week. I always hated when my wife would cook seafood indoors, it would smell the house up for days. But she purchased her fish at the supermarket. This is NOT the case with Swanson Fish Market. FRESH fish should smell like he sea, if it smell like fish it is NOT fresh! I prepared the meal pictured to the right and then day later a tuna fish in the oven and it never smelled the house up. What big difference!
Don’t forget to treat mom and you with fresh cocktail shrimp. The freshness can’t be beat, the cocktail sauce is awesome!
