ravenswood wines Joel Peterson sold the winery he founded, Ravenswood, for $148 million, but he didn't just take the money and run. He stayed on with Constellation, the world's largest wine company, and manages the Ravenswood brand.

The Wine Selection of the Week is Cabernet Sauvignon from the Central Coast, with 2003 Smith & Hook Grand Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands Cabernet Sauvignon from Monterey County earning the highest rating of the listed wines, three stars. To pair with any of the Cabs, make Marinated Skirt Steak and Onion Wraps. On the bargain side, there's a list of Sauvignon Blanc, most under $10.

Old-fashioned cottage cheese is a rare find, but they found Nancy's Lowfat Cultured Cottage Cheese.

If blondes have more fun, than the golden yellow tomato take on the Bloody Mary, the Blondie Mary, is having a blast.
