As we take a moment on Monday, January 20, to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., take the time to find activities that include service and offer reflection.

No, we’re not talking about the weather! Dry January is here—a time to hit reset, embrace well-being, and explore the perks of going alcohol-free for the month.

She shares what’s currently simmering in her kitchen as well:From Nycci Nellis:The minute I feel the winter chill, I lug out my trusty 9-quart Le Creuset and keep it busy on my stove until the jonquils start popping up in my backyard. My soup season always begins with a triple batch of chicken stock—it’s such a versatile base. From my grandmother’s classic chicken noodle or matzo ball soup to a bright and tangy Greek Avgolemono, or even a flavorful noodle bowl with aromatics, fish sauce, and soy, chicken stock enriches everything.Over the last few weeks, my stove has been working overtime with batches of my hint-of-a-kick tomato soup (so good with open-faced melty three-cheese bread), a hearty minestrone, and that beloved noodle bowl. But when it’s this cold—like really cold—I crave something extra rib-sticking, like my Italian Farro & White Bean Soup. I always make a triple batch of it, too, so I have some tucked away in the freezer for those nights when I’m not out and don’t have time to cook.Italian Farro & white Bean Soup-Make a Mirepoix of 1large onion, 2 celery stalks and 2 carrots-In the aforementioned Le Crueset or heavy bottom pot, saute in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.-Season with salt and pepper and cook down on low heat for a good 10-15 minutes-Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 cup of farro, 1-2 cans of white beans (I use whatever I have on hand: navy beans, great northern beans, cannellini beans, etc), 1 32 oz can of fire roasted dice tomatoes and 6ish cups of stock.-If you have on hand you can throw in a Parmesan rind or two.-Bring to a boil and let simmer for about an hour. Farro and beans should be tender. If you want a soupier soup add more stock or water.-Add a couple handfuls of spinach, chopped parsley, basil and any other soft herbs you like. Season with salt & pepper and simmer until wilted.Ladle into bowl. Top as you like: squeeze a little lemon juice, dot with your favorite hot sauce, add a dallop of sour cream and add lots of freshly shaved parmesan. Find more soup here: - All Set Restaurant - Classic New England clam chowder, served with Old Bay crackers - Anju - Kimchi Jjigae, pork belly stew with aged kimchi - Augie's Mussel House -  Pesto mussel pot, with cherry tomato, white wine, cream, onion, and house made pesto- Balos - Avgolemono, the traditional Greek chicken soup, with lemon, rice - Bluejacket - Grilled cheese with tomato soup, featuring NY sharp yellow & mild white cheddar, smoked tomato jam, sourdough loaf, and tomato soup for dipping - Brasserie Liberte: Creamy chestnut soup, topped with crispy prosciutto  - Centrolina - Roasted tomato soup with calabrian chili, thyme, crispy eggplant - Chaplin’s -  Chaplin A.S.S., with asian spicy sour, chicken chashu, scallions, lemongrass, coconut milk, red chili, cilantro in chicken broth - Corso Italian - Creamy tomato soup, made with san Marzano tomatoes, Peroni, basil and ricotta - King Street Oyster Bar -  King Street gumbo, with chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage - L’Avant-Garde - French onion soup gratinée made with 3 types of onions, a rich, winey broth and most importantly, topped with a generous portion of gruyere, appenzeller and comté cheese (Cheese Pull Alert) - Lapis - Nask is a combination of yellow lentils, celery, carrots, potatoes & cilantro - Makan - Curry mee, a noodle soup with egg and glass noodles, chicken sausage, tofu, pickled greens, and sambal in a creamy coconut broth - Mandu - Dduk mandu guk (rice cake dumpling soup) made of beef broth, beef & pork mandu, rice cakes - Nobu - Spicy seafood soup features seafood and is prepared in the style of Chef Nobu, which has both Japanese and Peruvian influences. -The Point: Creamy lobster bisque-Prescription Chicken: Spicy Hangover soup, broth made with ginger, jalapeno, turmeric, and fennel to help settle you and sweat it out, plus the pulled chicken, egg noodles, and sauteed veggies. - Saint James - Callaloo soup, pureed spinach, chilies, coconut milk, topped with crab meat - Tony & Joe’s - Boston clam chowder, with bacon and potatoes

Matthew has a Level Two certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers, along with hands-on experience at Joseph Drouhin and Domaine Drouhin,Let’s end the year on a Wine Journey with Matthew Fisk. In the world of wine, building a personal cellar is an exciting venture that blends art, science, and passion. To guide aspiring collectors on this journey, we spoke with Matthew who shared his expertise on everything from cellar fundamentals to wine selection and building valuable industry relationships. Here, Matthew offers insights on balancing personal enjoyment with preservation techniques and expanding one’s wine knowledge. Goals for 2025!When starting a personal wine cellar, what foundational elements should one prioritize to ensure both functionality and quality preservation?Start by evaluating the space in your home that’s naturally more stable in terms of temperature fluctuations. Whether you're considering installing insulated walls or a high-end HVAC system, you’ll benefit from choosing a location where temperatures change gradually rather than suddenly. In some of the old European wineries with underground cellars, temperatures aren’t necessarily at the "ideal" cellar temperature, but they fluctuate very little. This stability is key for your collection.With so many varietals available, how should a collector choose wines for long-term aging? Are there certain types you’d recommend for a beginner’s collection?Do your homework, trust your instincts, and buy what you love. If you’re interested in long-term aging, consider leaving room for larger bottles, especially Champagnes, as they tend to age more gracefully. Remember, only a small percentage of wines improve significantly with age. Some, like Rieslings, retain their quality over time without much change, which can be impressive in itself. And don’t feel like you have to wait forever—many wines are fantastic at 5-10 years old. If you’re collecting to trade, classics like Bordeaux, Cabernet blends, vintage ports, and high-quality Rieslings are great choices. What are the ideal environmental conditions for aging wine, and how do fluctuations in temperature and humidity impact the wine?Stability is crucial. Aim for around 60% humidity to keep corks in good condition. Too high (above 70%) and it can lead to mold; too low (below 50%) and corks may dry out. A steady temperature around 55°F (13°C) is generally ideal. While natural cellars in Europe often experience a temperature range, it’s the slow, gradual changes that matter, not rapid fluctuations. Quick temperature shifts flatten wine over time. Wine collecting can be both a passion and an investment. What advice do you have for those building a cellar on a budget while considering future financial returns?Build your collection with a blend of what you enjoy and what others value. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Cabernet, but I collect it because it’s popular and valuable for trading. Sometimes, a single bottle of a sought-after Cabernet can be swapped for a case of Riesling or Champagne that I truly want. Doing your research and collecting some high-demand wines can allow you to trade for your preferred bottles later.For collectors with specific tastes, how would you recommend balancing personal preferences with the desire to expand their palate?Use tastings at wineries, restaurants, or wine events to broaden your palate. Your cellar should reflect decisions you’ve already made—wines you know you want to explore over time. Personally, I collect mostly whites and sparkling wines because that’s where my interest lies. Collect according to your taste and let your cellar reflect your individuality.Building a diverse collection often requires access to exclusive wines. What’s your advice for developing relationships with suppliers or wine shops to secure rare bottles?Relationships are everything in the wine world. Get to know restaurant buyers with wine lists you admire or trusted local retailers. They can help you acquire specific wines, and sometimes even introduce you to winemakers. Building rapport with them makes a difference when it comes to accessing rare bottles—they’ll remember you when allocating stock. What are some best practices for maintaining and managing a wine cellar?Always store your bottles horizontally to keep the corks moist. Avoid cleaning with bleach, as it can lead to cork taint, which can spoil the wine. Instead, use caustics like sodium hydroxide if needed, and rinse thoroughly. Perform weekly or biweekly temperature checks to catch any problem areas in your cellar and adjust accordingly.Education is key to a rewarding wine-collecting experience. What resources or practices would you recommend for collectors who want to continue enhancing their knowledge?For ongoing education, subscribe to resources like JancisRobinson.com—her reviews are insightful and largely unbiased. Stay connected with drinking partners, retailers, and your local wine community. And don’t underestimate the power of creating a personal syllabus that incorporates all of these resources to guide your learning.
