Sauvignon BlancGrapes I know that it sometimes it seems like there’s a day for every little thing under the sun. In the month of June alone, you can celebrate National Yo Yo Day (June 6), National Bubba Day (no I don’t know and don’t want to know what it means but it’s on June 2),…
I seem to be a weather driven wine drinker. To me, a snowy, blowy night just begs for a big warming glass of something red, to be sipped on next to a roaring fire. But now that the weather has turned to warm breezes and green trees, my taste buds are guiding me to the…
The Winey Son turned 20 yesterday. There was no Thomas The Tank Engine wrapping paper. No Harry Potter gift bags. No Cleveland Indians paper plates. No throng of hungry boys in our backyard. Nope, my 20 year old spent his day on the training fields of West Point, learning to be a soldier and a leader. (And…
I often get asked how I choose the wines that I review, but there really is no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes I’ll have read about a wine. Often, I’ll try a new wine at a party, or a friend will recommend it. And sometimes I just wander around the wine aisles at stores…
I have every faith that when I buy a bottle of wine (or case, if I happen to be at certain stores with the initials “Trader Joe’s) that it won’t kill me. Or at least that it won’t make me sick. Or wrinkle my nose and shout “Ewww!” And I’m not talking about a wine…
It was the rare – and I mean RARE – Memorial Day weekend in the Winey Household: nothing to do for three whole days! Oh, this doesn’t sound rare to you? Well, we here in Winey World have raised two Winey children. Both of whom play/ed travel sports. So if we weren’t in West Virginia…
Now that the Winey patio is open for business, the Winey family grill is up and running. I love to grill out! Maybe it’s just the idea of getting out of the kitchen, but grilling holds a special appeal to me. I have been the family griller for over 20 years now (since bk, which…
I have nothing against frogs in general. As slimy amphibians go, they’re really not that bad. They are cute little tadpoles when they’re born, have big, funny eyes and I really love their legs breaded with garlic and butter. (Oh stop, like you’ve never had frogs’ legs before? Have you had chicken? Tastes just like it. You knew that was coming,…
There is an old expression that talks about “everything but the kitchen sink”. It refers to a crowded place, as in, “That closet has everything in it but the kitchen sink.” It can also refer to a somewhat senseless question asked by husbands at certain times of the year: “Why are we taking everything but the…
In addition to being a Winey Mom, I am also a proud, card (um I guess that should be book) carrying bookworm. I love to read. In fact, if you ask me what a perfect evening would entail, I’d have to include the following elements: good book, glass of wine, fire (fireplace or patio fire pit, depending on…
