WINTER & Family Features
Wine
Winter is a great time to experiment with culinary creations that incorporate bold flavors of wine. If you’re planning a menu for just you and your mate, a small group of close f r iend s or a d i n ner party, stock up on great wines to complete the menu. Smoky Chili & MurphyGoode Homefront Red
The smoky f lavors of seasoned steak cubes and dried chili pods will please the palate when united with MurphyGoode Homefront Red. This wine is comfort food friendly and full of f lavors of black cherry and raspberry, vanilla
and toast. Plus, for every bottle sold, the winery donates fifty cents to Operation Homefront, a national nonprof it for service members and their families. Classic Roast Chicken & La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Fresh oregano, fragrant garlic and buttery Castelvetrano olives star in this traditional dish which pairs wonderfully with La Crema Sonoma Coast Ch a rdon n ay. T he Sonom a Coast Chardonnay is beautifully aromatic, with lively cit r u s a nd subt le toa sted oak, laced with just a kiss of butterscotch.
Toasted S’mores and Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Pinot Noir
Take the traditional fireside treat to a new, gooey level with homemade, wine-infused marsh mallows served with a glass of Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Pinot Noir. Handcrafted from the top seven percent of all the winery’s lots, with 70 percent sourced from the same vineyard blocks year-to-year, it ensures greater consistency and enhanced complexity with each vintage. Please your sweet tooth and palate with this pinot noir, with lively berry pie notes defined in wild strawberry and black cherry, with hints of vanilla and earthy aromas.

The story of one of Coweta’s more unique cottage industries can be traced to the banks of the Cumberland River in Kentucky. As the founder of Shay’s Soaps, Deb Coleman attests that her family’s history can be found in the products she creates from her home. “It’s pretty neat when I think about it,” she said. “So much of my
life is found in my own creations.” Growing up in the small Kentucky town of Burnside, Coleman can recall speaking with her grandmother about the various healing properties that various herbs possess. Calendula, Comfrey, lavender, camomile – all these have a specific purpose and use. She learned about creating a homemade poultice. Mashing herbs and plant material along with oils or warm water to make a paste, it can be applied directly to

Coweta County’s Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy is a non-profit public foundation with the mission to “provide books for local communities to prepare all Georgia preschool children for reading and learning success.” Each month, the organization mails a book free of charge to each registered
child from birth until five years of age. Ferst Foundation representative Nelda Boren said this year schools collected $14,414.57, and at the cost of $2.33 per book, this amount will put more than 6,000 age appropriate books into the homes of Coweta County preschool children.
