About this episode

Nikki and Michael test the SOMMO app for pairing wine with artichokes while cooking and facing a pizza dough disaster.

Artichokes are one of the most notoriously difficult foods to pair with wine. So on a spontaneous Sunday cooking session, Nikki and Michael put the SOMMO app to the test, grilled artichokes in the wood-fired pizza oven, and navigated a pizza dough disaster — all with wine in hand. Here's everything they ate, drank, and loved. Check out this episode's page to get all of the links to our favorite things, recipes and photos and videos from our evening!
