When we planned the house, one of the things I suggested was finding a place in the kitchen for a wine fridge. The way we redesigned the island, moving some cabinets and extending the length, gave us the perfect spot at the end nearest the dining room.
We found the right one for the space and best of all, it holds 48 bottles. We only had a few to bring from the apartment so we need to get a few more.
We found these deals.
This was a curated set of twelve different wines that we found online and it gives us a nice mix of reds and whites and again, they are all different.
Then, we love the O'Leary wines (Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank). His wines are really good and we saw a collection for sale that was also twelve bottles, with two each of different reds, whites and rosé.
We got these 24 loaded in with the others we brought (including some sparkling on the bottom shelf) and we still have space for more. But these should last us for quite a while, allowing for an occasional gift from somewhere or a special treat.
What goes best with a couple glasses of wine? A cheese board/tray! We got this set as a gift from our mortgage broker after our closing and put it to good use. I picked up some small cheese pieces to try: Beemster Swiss, Westminster Rustic Red Cheddar, and Sartori Montamore Cheddar. We added some assorted crackers, wonderful plump and sweet grapes, Sicilian marinated olives and red pepper jam.

So lovely. I’m so happy for the two of you. I’ve been following along for years and it is so wonderful to see your dream of living in a beautiful home in the country come true. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA perfect treat for your screened in porch as well.
ReplyDeleteYou now have a nice assortment of wine in your wine fridge. With your new cheeseboard, you’re all set for some relaxing times sampling good wine and good cheese. In your beautiful new home. Sooo happy for both of you now living your dream.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought of trying your hand at food artistry (not sure if that's what it's called.)? So many of your food photos are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteLivin the dream!!! Good on ya boys!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! A perfect complement to the wine is your cheese board. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and useful Charcuterie Board.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you both will get much use out of it. Board filled with variety of meat, cheeses and crackers along with a glass of wine or 2 on the side; nothing could be finer; except maybe some fruit on the side.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Stay safe and stay warm.
Fort Worth Stock Show going on, so can always expect nasty weather; freezing temperatures, rain and cold. Just crappy weather all week long and into the week end.
