Two New Zealand wines from Lidl that don't compromise on quality
Lidl offer several Marlborough sauvignon, reflecting the popularity of the wine in Ireland. The Deluxe and Summerhouse are both good, but so too is the Cimarosa, and it costs a euro less. Pinot noir is the most popular red grape in New Zealand, evidence of how well it performs in the cool but sunny maritime climate. It is unusual to see one from Hawke's Bay, which is better known for merlot and syrah, but this is still a classic example of the style. Cimarosa Marlborough Sauvignon 2024 12.5% abv, €9.99 Benchmark Marlborough sauvignon with aromas of elderflower and mango. The palate is refreshing, with zingy lime zest and fresh pear and kiwi fruits. Enjoy by itself or with herby Asian prawns or chicken.

Try it with seared duck or tuna. From Lidl

This Fast Food Chain Makes the Best Burgers (and You're Sleeping on Them)
Jollibee, a fast food restaurant with a cult following, is no doubt most famous for its chicken (and peach mango pies, if you ask me). But the brand recently launched Angus burgers that give the heavyweight chains a run for their money. I, a food editor, headed to the nearest location to try all three of them, plus the standard burgers (which are thinner, smaller and not made with Angus beef), to see if I could taste the difference in quality. Read on for my honest takes, original photos and overall ranking. (Note: Prices are rounded to the nearest half-dollar. Pricing and item availability may vary by location.) The 14 Best Fast Food Fries, Ranked by a Food Editor Taryn Pire What Is It: Angus beef, smash-seared on the grill and topped with melted cheese, grilled pineapple, crispy bacon, green leaf lettuce and aloha dressing on a butter-toasted bun Price: $9.50 Full disclosure: I'm not a bacon-on-my-burger type person. (Generally, the simpler the toppings, the better—in my book, anyway.) However, I thought its smoky, salty notes played well with the sweet-and-sour pineapple. There was a brown sugar-y like char on the fruit that offered tasty contrast and an intriguing aroma to the burger, which starred a very crisp patty. Learn more Taryn Pire What Is It: Angus beef, smash-seared on the grill and topped with melted cheese, pickles, red onion, Roma tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, ketchup and signature sauce on a butter-toasted bun Price: $6.50 If you're someone who gets a cheeseburger with all the fixings at places like Friday's or Chili's, the Deluxe is the way to go. With more produce to offer crisp, cool contrast to the meat and cheese, it was balanced, satiating and photogenic. Personally, I think the tomato and lettuce were superfluous, given how tasty the rest of the burger was (more on the sans-veggie version below). But this was as good, if not better than, any fast casual or chain resto. Learn more Taryn Pire What Is It: Angus beef, smash-seared on the grill and topped with melted cheese, pickles, red onion, ketchup and signature sauce on a butter-toasted bun Price: $6 This was basically the perfect smash burger, complete with crisp, craggy edges and an all-around sear. I didn't love the slightly neon color of the burger sauce, but I enjoyed its tangy, mustardy flavor. The Angus patties were thicker than the standard burgers (read on for details) and very beefy, savory and rich. I loved the range of textures between the crisp onion, the crunchy, sour pickles and the luscious cheese-topped beef. The sauces also brought plenty of tang to the party. Learn more Taryn Pire What Is It: beef patty with melted cheese and signature sauce on a bun Price: $5 Don't get it twisted: The Angus burgers are a step up in quality, but the beef in Jollibee's Yumburgers is genuinely scrumptious. It has an oniony, sweet-and-savory quality that may conjure memories of Salisbury steak or meatloaf. With cheese, the consistency is super creamy and rich. Think backyard burger, minus the char, on a soft, fluffy bun. Learn more Taryn Pire What Is It: beef patty with signature sauce on a bun Price: $4.50 I've never ordered a cheese-less burger in my life. But alas, duty called—and I was very pleasantly surprised. The sauce's slightly sweet edge played beautifully with the seasoned beef, which was tender and surprisingly juicy throughout. The TLDR? You can't go wrong with a Jollibee burger, Angus or not.

Why travel insurance is a must for seniors
Travel insurance can be a huge help to anyone, especially older travelers who may have a greater risk of health issues or unexpected travel disruptions and greater concerns about protecting their finances. CNBC Select explores why travel insurance is so important for seniors and the policies to consider if you're over 65. Whether you have private insurance or Medicare, your U.S. health care plan probably isn't valid abroad. That's where your travel insurance policy's medical coverage is invaluable. It will cover the cost of doctor's visits, hospital stays, prescriptions and more. If you need to be flown somewhere for treatment or get back home, a good policy will also cover the cost of medical evacuation. We recommend buying a policy with at least $100,000 in emergency medical coverage and $250,0000 in evacuation coverage. If you're visiting far-flung locales or are particularly concerned about your health, however, look at policies with higher limits. Travel Insured International has some of the highest limits we've seen. Plans cover up to $250,000 in emergency medical expenses and $1 million for evacuation or repatriation. Single-trip and multi-trip/annual policies and cruise insurance. Add-ons include Cancel for Any Reason coverage and a travel inconvenience benefit Add-on to Worldwide Trip Protector Deluxe or Platinum plan that reimburses 75% of nonrefundable costs when purchased within 21 days of initial trip payment Available if policy is purchased within 21 days of initial trip deposit. A standard travel insurance policy won't cover pre-existing conditions if they force you to change your plans or seek medical treatment. A pre-existing condition is any injury, illness or chronic condition that requires treatment or medication, including diabetes, arthritis, cardiac disease or COPD. If you file a claim, your provider will typically look back 60 to 180 days before you enrolled to see if there were any changes in your medical status. You can get a pre-existing condition waiver, however, which prevents your insurer from reviewing your records when processing a claim. Many companies offer waivers but require travelers to be medically able to travel and to buy their policy within two weeks of booking. We like Nationwide for its more generous 21-day window in which you can buy coverage and still receive a waiver. Single- and multi-trip plans and cruise insurance, plus add-ons like CFAR and rental car coverage. Add-on to Prime plan that reimburses 75% of nonrefundable trip costs if purchased within 21 days of booking (Not available in New York or Washington state) Available with single-trip plan purchased within 20 days of initial trip deposit (14 days for cruise insurance) Even if you don't have a medical issue on your trip, you might have to cancel your plans because of a health condition, death in the family or other emergency. Trip cancellation and interruption coverage are among the best reasons to get travel insurance. A comprehensive plan will reimburse up to 100% of your nonrefundable costs if you need to cancel and up to 150% if you need to cut your trip your policy's terms to see what events are covered, but common scenarios include: If you're concerned about your situation being covered or don't want to have to submit proof, a Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) policy will refund a portion of your expenses, regardless of why you scraped your plans. Most CFAR plans limit you to 50% to 75% of your nonrefundable costs, but Allianz reimburses 80% of expenses. Single-trip and multi-trip/annual policies and a rental car plan. OneTrip Prime and Premier plans include coverage for one child 17 or younger when accompanying a covered adult. Reimburses 80% of nonrefundable trip costs if you cancel at least 48 hours before departure. Included if policy is purchased within 14 days of initial deposit Read our review of Allianz Travel Insurance Cruises are particularly popular with retirees, who enjoy the convenience, entertainment and relaxing atmosphere, and have the funds and free time to devote to an extended excursion. Viking, Holland America and Cunard all market cruises aimed at older come with specific risks, though, including the ship breaking down or you missing your connection. We love Seven Corners' cruise insurance policies, which include up to $250 a day for missed connections, $5,000 for an itinerary change and $250 each time the ship is disabled or misses a port of call. Plus, Seven Corners gives you 20 days to buy a policy with a pre-existing condition waiver and covers travelers up to age 99. The best way to estimate your costs is to request a quote Policies provide missed and delayed tour/cruise connection coverage. Cancel for any reason coverage and pre-existing conditions waiver are also available if you buy your plan within the specified time. ***CFAR and IFAR are subject to certain eligibility criteria and are not available in all states Yes Many travel insurance companies put age restrictions on their policies, limiting coverage to travelers under 79 or even 65. The cost of a policy can also be much more expensive for older travelers. Seven Corners will approve coverage for travelers up to age 99 and Faye and Travelex don't have any age restrictions at all. One single-trip plan with optional add-ons for pet care, adventure sports and damage to vacation rentals Up to 75% reimbursement of nonrefundable trip costs if purchased within 14 days of initial trip deposit. Available if policy is purchased within 14 days of initial trip deposit. Essential, Advantage and Ultimate policies plus last-minute Travel Med Go plan and standalone plans for emergency medical and flight coverage. Upgrades include rental car, pet and adventure activities coverage Upgrade with Ultimate plan covering 75% of nonrefundable trip costs if purchased within 21 days of initial deposit and 31 days of departure. Included with Ultimate plan if purchased within 21 days of initial deposit Travel insurance averages between 4% and 10% of your total nonrefundable trip expenses. Because of increased risk, seniors pay on the higher end of that range. CNBC Select gathered rate quotes for a 65-year-old traveler and a 30-year-old traveler taking the same one-week $3,000 excursion to London and looking for $250,000 in medical coverage and $1 million in evacuation coverage. While the 30-year-old's rate was about 4.4% of their nonrefundable trip expenses, the 65-year-old was quoted a rate of about 7.3%. There can be a significant difference in price among carriers, so using a travel insurance marketplace like Squaremouth can help you compare rates in minutes. SquareMouth is a travel insurance marketplace that allows you can compare top-rated providers, including Berkshire Hathaway, Nationwide, Seven Corners and Tin Leg. Yes Read our SquareMouth travel insurance review The best policy for any traveler depends on your specific needs, the length and location of your excursion and other factors. Our top picks for travel insurance for seniors includes Travel Insured International, Nationwide, Seven Corners, Allianz and Faye. Some companies allow you to buy a policy up until a day or two before your departure, although enrolling within two weeks of booking ensures you have access to a pre-existing condition waiver and other benefits. Travel insurance typically costs between 4% and 10% of your nonrefundable trip expenses. For seniors, a policy will more likely be on the higher end of that range. We found coverage for a 65-year-old on a one-week vacation in London was 7.3% of the total expense. Money matters — so make the most of it.
