I am all about simplifying. I'd rather get to the party than be stuck muddling drinks forever!

My pleasure! Hope you try it out! - 🥂 Erin

Thanks for the feedback! 🥂 Erin

I'm so happy to be of help! Good luck with new job! 🥂 Erin

Haha! We fancy like that 😄🥂 Erin

Thank you! These are always big hits at parties! 🥂 Erin

You too! 🥂 Erin

You are so kind!! Let me know if you make this PS syrup... it's super easy! 🥂 Erin

OMG, you are so sweet. Thank you for the kind words and I'm so happy to have you here! For mashed potatoes I personally prefer to make them while the resting. However, you can make them in advance. When it's time to reheat, put the mashed in a saucepan over med-low heat, with a splash more milk/cream and a dollop of butter. Cover and gently cook until they're back to being smooth and creamy. Other TDay items that hold up well to advanced prep: any baked goods that can be frozen (pies, cookies, rolls etc.), soups (freeze for a week or two or keep in the fridge for a few days), salads and veg sides (make the dressing a day before, and chop all the veg the day before), assemble casseroles and either freeze for a few weeks, or assemble the day before and store in the fridge overnight. I hope this helps! We'll have a lot more ideas for Christmas dinner coming up in the next few weeks so stay tuned! 🥂 Erin

@@TheWineSisters THANK YOU for The answer and the other ideas! Happy Thanksgiving!

@@ckmucci My absolute pleasure! Let me know how it turns out!

It's sooooo good! I hope you try it! 🥂 Erin

I'm glad you like them! I hope you can put them to good use! 🥂 Erin

Thank you Carolyn! Let us know if you create one for your holiday parties! 🥂 Erin

Don't be!! You will rock it, with just a little planning! We swear by lists and never, ever deviating from the original plan (no matter how tempting 😅) You've still got a a little over a week, so check out our video on planning Christmas Dinner in 7 Days ... it's a fast-forward version of our three months plan! Good luck, Danea! Let us know how it goes! 🥂 Erin

Hi Carolyn, we just serve them like chips or nuts! Put a cocktail fork or spoon in the bowl and let guests eat them as they are! (But if you wanted to top a crostini with the beans, it's your party!) 🥂 Erin

Oh, it's my absolute pleasure! I'm so happy you're here! 🥂 Erin

Thanks for watching! I hope you found it helpful! 🥂 Erin

Thank you, Tina! So happy to have you here. 🥂 Erin

Thank you! I hope you can put it to good use!🥂 Erin

They've come in very handy! 🥂 Erin

Hi Caroline! Haha! Yes we love a great party and a party theme. We put out videos every week so hopefully you can tune in some more! Take care! 🥂 Erin

ew

W rizz

sort of! Orange wine is simply skin-contact white wine. Normally, white wines don't require any contact with the skins, because, well, they're white. Red and rosé wines get their colour from the skins soaking with the skins for a little or long time. When white grapes are left with their skins, there's a reaction that turns the clear juice turns orange. Hope that helps! 🥂 Erin

It is A LOT, but hopefully it helps make food and wine planning easier! 🥂 Erin

Hi! I"m so happy you liked it! We post new videos every week... often with cocktail ideas, so stay tuned! 🥂 Erin

Hi Sandy! Sorry about that... it's 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree. You can find the written recipe on our blog with all the measurements as well. www.thewinesisters.com/blog/category/recipes-and-food/fall/post/homemade-pumpkin-spice-syrup Let me know if you make this! Erin

Good eye, Ally! You're absolutely correct! A lot of sommeliers and restaurants now prefer to pour bubbly into wider bowl (ie: regular wine) glasses. The reason being is that it allows you to appreciate the aromas better than a narrow flute will allow. This video was taken right before a sparkling wine class that I teach at a College in Toronto and this is the glass we use for wine appreciation. However, for my home entertaining, I must admit I love the stylish look of a nice flute. Cheers! 🥂 Erin

Ice-cold pitcher drinks are definitely the way to do summer right! 👍 Cheers - Erin

I'm so happy you approve! Can't beat a mojito to cool off in the hot weather! - 🥂 Erin

baking soda

I think it’s bicarbonate of soda. UK here 😅

I'm so happy you liked it! Stay tuned - next week we have a super delicious watermelon-mint daquiri to share! - Erin

Haha! I'm glad everyone enjoyed. Ice is key - not only to keep the drink cold, but for dilution. But of course, you can always, adjust the ratios to best suit your tastes, and those of your boss (I hope you get a big bonus!) Happy holidays! - Erin

In this particular video I'm actually using Hellmann's! Though don't tell anyone, but I've found really good luck with vegan mayo - taste, texture the whole bit. But if you love Hellmann's, then stick with it! There's no point in forcing yourself to use something you don't like. Life's too short :) Best of luck and let me know how it turns out! 🥂 Erin

Thanks! And they're so easy!

I could not live without my lists! Enjoy your (well planned) holiday! - Erin

Haha! You're definitely not alone! For Christmas, I'll share a video on our 7-Day Plan to Hosting A Stress Free Dinner. Stay tuned and good luck! - Erin

I'm so delighted! And this list works for all the big celebratory dinners you host, from Mother's Day to New Year's Eve, so keep it handy! Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving! - Erin

Thank you so much! Have a great Thanksgiving :) - Erin

Thank you Rachel! Happy Thanksgiving! - Erin

It most certainly was! Thanks for coming along!

Hi Dianne - great question! I'm guessing by "dressing" you mean a bread-based stuffing (that's what we call it here, even if it's not actually "stuffed" in the turkey.) In this case, look to the strongest flavours, that's likely going to be the spices of sage that you mentioned, and maybe some celery and onion etc. Consider an earthy Pinot Noir from Oregon or California; it's bright red fruit will liven up the turkey (like cranberry sauce) and its spice flavour will compliment the dressing. As for the glazed ham, which has a deliciously sweet coating but salty meat, Riesling works really nicely here as you will need a wine slightly sweeter than the food, otherwise it could taste bitter. If you only want one wine for both the turkey and the ham, go with Riesling. Let me know how it goes! - Erin

@@TheWineSisters thank you very much!

Hi Vivian, I go through them all in the video explaining which is which. 🙂 Basically, they're a selection of Cheddars, Mimolette and Sauvagine. Happy shopping! - Erin

@@TheWineSisters thanks Erin,

It’s certainly disappointing when everyone fills up and ruins the dinner you spent so much time making. This is why we like these lighter snacks; so guests can have something to munch on with cocktails, but not get overly full. Happy Thanksgiving! 🥂 - Erin
