I believe very strongly that you should always do your research for both sides of an issue. Dark or milk chocolate? Of course I’ll research. Relaxing beach or busy sightseeing vacation? Bring them on. High heels or wedges? In the interest of research, buy them both. Beer or wine? Well, the time had come for me to…
I live in Cleveland. And since we’re talking Super Bowl here, let me tell you that Clevelanders automatically go into whine (and a need for wine) mode as the day for the big game approaches. The Cleveland Browns have never – no never – won a Super Bowl. Kind of hard to do when you haven’t…
It’s happening again…the sparkly snow is being replaced by slush and rain and mud. Could it just get any uglier outside? At least you can walk in the snow without having to scrub the floors every time you come back inside (thank you, doggie dearest). I know that some of us might not be snow…
As much as I love to go out and troll wine stores, slowly walking up and down the aisles, sometimes you really just don’t know where to go with your next bottle. How to choose, how to choose? So in a flash of inspiration a few Sundays ago, when my mother in law (aka Grammy) asked…
It was a tough assignment for any wine, I’ll fully admit that. Here’s how it started: January. Northeast Ohio. Those of you from this area will need no further explanation. For you foreigners, imagine if you will the color gray. Gray skies. Gray slush. Gray trees. Gray air. Gray hairs (oh, wait, that’s another issue…but…
As I have stated before, I do not normally buy $25 bottles of wine. I leave that to other people to do for me. I know I should probably bite the bullet and up my price range, but there are so many good wines out there that are under $15, that I just don’t see…
The following falls under my personal “duh why didn’t I think of that?” category. It also solves a winey problem that I have been struggling with. Ever find a great bottle of wine that, even after it is empty, you just want to keep? Maybe you found it on a wonderful vacation and brought it home…
The first thing my eye about this bottle of wine was the big number 120 on its label. 120 what, I wondered??? 120 grapes? 120 blends? 120 proof (wouldn’t that be the mother of all wine hangovers)? Nope, the 120 refers to 120 Chilean patriots who hid in the Santa Rita wine cellars during their fight…
“By making this wine vine known to the public, I have rendered my country as great a service as if I had enabled it to pay back the national debt.” ~ Thomas Jefferson Well, now we KNOW what our founding fathers really thought. Go Jefferson! Cheers! Tweet Follow @TheWineyMom Facebook: The Winey Mom
There is something infinitely special about sipping on a wine in the place where it was “born”. Which is why I love to visit and eat at wineries. Now, living as I do in Ohio, you might think that I need to travel quite a ways to actually do this. But no!!! Ohio has some…
