About Us

A clinical pharmacist by day and passionate foodie and wine connoisseur by night. Tiffany's interests include traveling to eat at Michelin star restaurants, collecting and drinking great wine, visiting awesome wineries, cooking and baking, food and wine styling and photography, watching cooking shows, and blogging. The Cabernet Gourmet simply started as a way for her to document all her meals and as a wine journal and turned into something much bigger. Living half way between Boston, MA and Providence, RI she's a local expert on all the area restaurants and a go to for recommendations. The wine list gets handed to her when it's time to order a bottle for the table. Her favorite wines are Napa Valley Cabernet, Champagne & Ice wine, but she has a good palate for any varietal. Food pairings are a special interest area of hers.  She's the daughter of former MLB All-Star pitcher Billy Travers who she's often comparing food notes with.  Tiffany spends her free time volunteering for local charities like animal welfare and veterans organizations.
