Yikes. It doesn’t happen often. And I just hate it when it does. But…there comes a time in every wine lover’s life when you take that sip and say, “Blecchh.” And yes, that is the scientific term. And no, it’s not a positive one. I was excited to see a bottle of the just released…
It has been said of Thomas Jefferson, one of the great wine aficionados of his time (oh and he also founded our nation and wrote the Declaration of Independence and was our second president…), that he would find a wine he liked and BAM – that was his wine forever!!! Well, I think I had…
I am having what I’ll call a random day. Seriously, this was my Facebook status this morning: Random thoughts: 1. how did we run out of so much food when we’re never here? 2. Finished “50 Shades of Grey” – cannot understand the hype – no plot and the main character is an idiot. 3….
My recent trip to northern California included a 2 day stay in wine country. As I’ve said before, you have your pick of billions and billions of wineries to tour and sip at. It’s enough to make you want to unpack permanently. But, The Winey Hubby and I did have to eventually return to Ohio..so…
Heading to California wine country for the very first time is a little daunting. Especially if you love wine. Why? Oh I don’t know, maybe it’s the billion wineries that line the streets, all with welcoming signs that say “Tasting Today”. Talk about sensory overload. When The Winey Hubby and I made the trip a…
As part of a significant birthday present trip for the Winey Hubby (significant being any birthday that ends in a “0” and makes the Winey kids tease you a lot), we recently spent a week in the San Francisco area. I had never been, and the last time WH was there he was a passenger in…
Happy Spring! As a welcome back to days of green grass and sipping wine on the patio, The Winey Mom is giving away a vanilla scented candle made by her pal at Vino D’Light. In a previous life, the bottle held Project Happiness Chardonnay, but it has been upcycled to light your evenings! To enter,…
Cookie is a happy word, isn’t it? Add the word “gourmet” in front of it and the happiness just ramps up another notch or two. But…what if you added the word “wine” to those two words? OK, calm down now. You need to read the rest of this.What if…you could buy some gourmet cookies that…
There are many things you have to choose sides on in this life: dogs or cats, Coke or Pepsi, Yankees or Mets (I grew up a Yankee fan, as proclaimed by my father the day I was born) and cooking or baking. According to me, there is a big difference between cooking and baking. When…
It’s happening. Again. I can feel it. Here it comes…spring fever. And I have it a bit worse, because I am a gardener..so I have spring garden fever, which is a bit harder to cure than the regular strain because if you try to cure the fever, it snows. It’s been in the 70’s here…
