Cozy winter bars and Texas wines pair with holiday meals

The articles offer ideas for enjoying food and drinks, from cozy winter bars in Edinburgh and an arts-and-events-focused cocktail lounge in downtown Fresno to new Philadelphia dining spots. Quail State, in particular, combines cocktails and a full food menu with live music, art and social events aimed at building community. For holiday meals, one article recommends pairing Texas wines with local foods such as turkey, ham, pot roast and chocolate desserts. Another makes the case for affordable, easygoing wines as a small midweek pleasure, highlighting sherry and reasonably priced bottles. Philadelphia’s roundup also features a new brewery-arcade and Honeysuckle’s pay-what-you-can lunch celebrating Black food traditions.
