These plums are best enjoyed with a glass of 2008 Primoroso from Oso Libre Winery. Primoroso is swirling with dark berries and minor floral notes. The blend has just a hint of spice which makes it the perfect pairing for this dish.

This recipe should be enjoyed with glass (or more) of 2008 Nativo from Oso Libre Winery. The wine is lush, dripping with strawberry jam and subtle notes of lavender and anise. With a hint of eucalyptus, this fruit forward wine is great for...Read the full story on TreeHugger

I wondered before why I find myself apologizing to vegetarians for eating meat, even though I don't feel bad about it. At the time, I concluded that it was a similar issue to why any and every green lifestyle choice—even if kept completely to ourselves—what we choose to do, or not do, can be seen by others as a judgement on what they do. It seems that Mirra, the veg...Read the full story on TreeHugger

This dish was created specifically for Treehugger's Green Wine Guide by The Tomato Tart. It pairs perfectly with an off dry Riesling or any full flavored white with bright citrus notes balanced by deep minerals.
You never know where inspiration for a dish will come from. I recently read somewhere about a white salad- it sounded lovely- with cauliflower, potatoes, toasted, bread cubes and blue cheese. This white salad stuck in my mind, but, I wondered, could it be lightened up, made for summer and a little more wine frien...Read the full story on TreeHugger

This recipe was created exclusively for Treehugger's Green Wine Guide by The Tomato Tart. It pairs perfectly with a crisp summer white. Look for something with minerals and not much fruit so the cheese's nuttier flavors can shine through.
I believe that tomatoes are the ultimate taste of summer. They are bright in every way, color, smell, and their sweet tart taste as ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

I took issue before with an argument from a "conscious carnivore" that going vegetarian would not stop factory farming. After all, whether you eat more humanely reared meat, or eschew meat all together, both options clearly reduce demand for intensively-raised factory farm products. Vegetarianism and veganism have a hu...Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Slow Money movement has been pushing for more localized, more connected financial systems—asking what the world would be like if we invested 50% of our assets within 50 miles of where we live. But what's so green about local money? After all, it's not as if we are trucking around large shipments of gold, burning up fossil fuels in the process, when we invest elsewhere. But, just as Read the full story on TreeHugger

Farm Sanctuary's Walk for Farm Animals hopes to raise $1 million for abused farm animals across North America. The walk, which will take place in 35 cities, increases awareness of wide spread abuse of farm animals, particularly on larger factory farms.

Lisa Casali is an environmental risk expert by day, and an eco-food blogger by night. Her passion for cooking got her to think about all the stuff that usually doesn't enter the recipe, such as the outer leaves of artichokes, the stems of asparagus, peels, pods, cores,... A few years ago she asked herself: Is it really necessary to throw aw...Read the full story on TreeHugger
