Ever wonder what #LifeWithMark is like? In this episode I’ll show you what a typical dinner with me is like. This is definitely a long video (70 minutes) but I’m doing a fully coursed out dinner from pre-dinner cocktail to digestif along with great info on each of the beverages.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still making eating out a less than ideal experience, I enjoyed my birthday dinner at home with my dad. We enjoyed a takeout dinner from Paesano’s and a Tres Leches cake from Central Market here in San Antonio, TX.

All beverages paired with each course were ones I already had at home. It presented a good exercise in working with what you have. Luckily I have a pretty decent wine collection still. My wine and entrée pairing is a bit unusual, but I think you’ll find it works. I did at least.
