It's reunion time! Jennifer Schell Lirag and I get together for our first visit in years to talk wine, food, and cookbooks! She has written 4 of them and knows her stuff when it comes to the perfect pairings. Her recent book, The BC Wine Lover's Cookbook came out just before the pandemic and we talk about what awesome timing that was, among other things.
