October's here, so this week leans into squash, slow braises and a little heat, with dishes from Seoul, Bangkok, Oaxaca and an Irish pub along the way.
A few faves I keep coming back to:
The rest runs the gamut: a classic steak frites, a roasted chicken Caesar, steak and gorgonzola salad, spicy Korean pork belly bowls, gochujang mushroom bibimbap, Thai-style crispy pork belly, kung pao Brussels sprouts that might win over the sprout skeptics, smoky Mexican camote asado, Thai curry mussels, a cozy miso ramen, and a proper chicken pot pie.
14 ideas below, hope you find some dinner inspo! — Rhys
Why Beronia Reserva Is Made for the Thanksgiving Table
Thanksgiving is one of those meals where everything seems to land on the table at once: turkey and gravy, herb-filled stuffing, roasted vegetables, cranberry sauce and all the family favourites.
That makes finding one wine that can carry you through the entire meal a little tricky.
Enter Beronia Reserva from Rioja. With dark fruit, spice, savoury character and freshness, it has the versatility to move from pre-dinner bites to turkey and all the way through those second helpings.
Discover why Rioja Reserva works so well at Thanksgiving, what to pair with it and how Beronia’s time in the cellar helps make it a natural fit for the table.
