I was just watching Top Chef and I realized how inspired I am by food/wine. I know it sound’s weird to name a baby after food, but it is such a huge part in my life. Memories that come from culinary experiences really stick with me in my life. It makes me think of the happy times in my life, love, and travel I am not a huge fan of noun names (thyme, sage, etc) so it would be great to hear some names associated with culinary or wine, but maybe not so literal. Maybe some names in different languages associated with this topic?
