This year, we fell for delicious Pinot Noir and Tempranillo, Muscat and Muscadet. But we—like the rest of you—were especially pleased when we found a good value in wine, whether in boxes or bottles, under screwcaps or fat Champagne corks.

Patriotism runs deep in the American consciousness. You see it everywhere with flags hanging outside of people’s homes, bumper stickers on cars espousing the driver’s pride at being an Army mom or dad, military aircraft fly-overs at the opening of football games, and joyous reunions of troops returning home shown on the evening news. We [...] [...]

By New Years Eve, I’ve thrown and attended more than my fair share of holiday parties. I’ll admit I’m a little worn out (can you get carpal tunnel from canapés?) and my wallet is feeling noticeably lighter. So to get amped for one last holiday hurrah in 2011, I turned to Linnea Johansson, a celebrity event planner, Elle contributor, chef, and author of Perfect Parties. In addition to sharing her top party tips, she shares recipes for smokey deviled eggs, black truffle & Parmesan popcorn, and a Prosecco cocktail. [...]
