There are times when you just want someone else to make decisions for you, aren’t there? For instance, when I hear “Where do you want to eat?” or “What kind of pizza are we ordering?” or “What’s for dinner?” I would absolutely love it if some decision genie would pop up and give me the…
I am going to pause in the reminiscing about my wonderful trip to Israel (and the great wines from that country) to talk about something that has been on my mind lately. Every single morning, actually. The Advent Calendar. NOT this Advent Calendar (but I do like it) And to clarify, I’m not talking about…
The Winey Hubby and I celebrated a major wedding anniversary this year – one that ended with 0. OK, it was 30 years (yes, as a matter of fact, I was 9 when we got married, thank you for asking). What to do to celebrate such a happy milestone? We went to Israel. Yup, this…
There I was on a Friday morning. Driving to work, singing (rather brilliantly, if I do say so myself) along to my tunes when…..BAM. A lethal piece of construction equipment (I live in Ohio, aka The Land of Orange Barrels) comes sailing toward my little car. It had been lying on the road, halfway in…
“The Pareto Principle, also called the 80/20 rule, states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort. This is true in the world of wine, where 80% of wine is consumed by 20% of the people. With Pareto’s Estate, we raise our glasses to those of us that take up the slack…
It’s here…you can feel it in the air. The leaves are turning colors, there’s a coolness in the air, the colder nights, the dewy mornings. Yup, fall has arrived. I’ve never made any bones about the fact that I’m a weather driven wine sipper. And the thought of fall turns my taste buds to all…
Winey Family pic from one of ourfavorite Ontario golf courses,Sawmill Creek, 2009 I’ve written before about the wonderful vacations that The Winey Family has taken over the years up to the beach in Canada. Winey Tasting Notes: Two Canadian Unoaked Chardonnays, Eh? And in addition to the water sports we get to partake of up there, there is…
So after a busy summer, The Winey Nest is empty once again. The Winey Daughter is safely ensconced in her second year at college. The Winey Son has some new digs in Texas. It’s just me, The Winey Hubby and The Winey Dog (more on the dog in the future 🙂 I was talking with…
Our view looking south. OK I couldn’t resist the “eh” in the title of this review. And it’s meant with absolutely no disrespect at all to our neighbors up north. The Winey Family loves Canada. We have spent many, many happy times up there and this year was no exception. The Winey Hubby and his…
I seem to be on a Sauvignon Blanc kick these days. It may be the direct result of summer finally arriving here in Cleveland. And the temperature is finally in the 80’s instead of the humidity level and/or chance of rain being in the 80’s. It seems that these conditions have me reaching for a…
