From time to time, we have the opportunity to partner with some of our wine maker friends to create a full wine dinner event. Our wine buyer and accomplished chef, Tim Paulus, creates a menu to perfectly pair with each wine maker's wines. Over the past few years we've had the pleasure of hosting Clay Fritz from Fritz Winery, Sean Minor from Sean Minor Wines, David Whiting from Red Newt Cellars and Peter Stolpman from Stolpman Vineyards.

Have you ever fallen into the cycle of unhealthy food choices, feeling sluggish and craving junk food? Have you ever noticed that when you eat better you feel healthier and have more energy? Nikki Tierney, Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer and co-owner of A Healthy Balance in Quincy, will be talking about how to break the unhealthy food cycle, the connection between mood and food choices, and what foods can actually boost your mood and energy levels. After the class, stay for the "store tour" with Nikki.

Nikki Tierney is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Rhode Island, where she also studied exercise science, and then moved on to receive both her RD, and training certificate. Nikki founded A Healthy Balance in 2009 with the philosophy that living a healthy lifestyle isn’t about giving up your favorite foods and restricting yourself; it’s about finding a balance of proper nutrition, fitness, and incorporating healthy habits in your everyday life.

Milton resident Connie Spiros welcomes guest chefs from Milton into the kitchen to share their favorite recipes.
