For me, it has to have a certain taste level, and this wine is immaculate.
It’s superb, it’s delicious, it’s elevated, everyone loves it.
Basically biodynamic is something that is more respected in wine because it’s holistic.

It’s ecological, it’s ethical and its next-level organic.
The winery Chateau Roubine, [led by] Valerie Rousselle, is a sustainable family business.
Its a beautiful wine and I have a great partner in a great winery that we’re proud of.

EatingWell:Favorite foods to pair with the wine?
Frankel:I would say any kind of crisp, chilled shrimp would be nice.
Any kind of seafood would be great.
A salad, a light and fresh summery fruit, caviar or chicken saladwhich obviously I’m famous for.
EatingWell:What does your ideal chicken salad include?
Frankel:I like simple things.
Lemon, a dash of pickle juice, a dash of celery juice, a dash of mustard.
I don’t like getting into big chunky grapes and cranberries and nuts.
It’s got to be pure, shredding the chicken and having it be warm before adding the mayonnaise.
True chicken salad is kind of classic and simple, but seasoned well.
What made you decide to create a nonalcoholic version of rose?
I like to have the option at my house and offer it for someone who’s not drinking.
It tastes incredible, but it does use fruit juice so it doesn’t taste like a soft drink.
It tastes like a true alternative cocktail, and it’s also a ready-to-drink mocktail.
I’ve seen a lot of mocktails that are mimicking the alcohol and it doesn’t really land.
I like the fact that it really does solve the problem.
EatingWell:We know youre a fan of Dollar Tree.
Do you have any go-to foods that you grab while youre there?
Frankel:Ive found Talenti gelato there, and Ive found all types of snacks that you see.
EatingWell:Least favorite food or any food hot takes?
Frankel:Anything bland.
I like things that are very intense in flavor.
Id rather not eat something boring and simple.
I like exciting people and exciting food.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
Frankel:Eating well means trying to eat as many foods with ingredients that you know as possible.
It means balance and it means listening to your body.
It means having a food voice and conversation versus food noise.
