Now, I may be a Winey Mom, but that’s because I love wine! I normally do not advocate using this wonderful beverage to drown your troubles or to get you through stressful times. That’s what Diet Coke with lime is for. But 3 days ago, I REALLY NEEDED A GLASS (OR 2 or 3) OF WINE….
There are A LOT of decanters on the market these days. They are sleek and modern or quirky and fun. Some come with aerators, some with foil cutters and corkscrews. I own none of these. I do own two decanters though. They are not sleek. And they are years removed from being modern or probably…
I have to admit – I have always thought that penguins were one of the cuter birds out there. Even if they don’t fly. They swim. I was a swimmer. And once you get past that fishy smell, honestly, how can you resist a guy who always dresses formally? “the Little Penguin” wines are named after…
As a former theater major, I was intrigued when I heard that actress Lillie Langtry had founded the estate that this wine comes from. All the way back in 1888…staying power, huh? But what really got me interested in this wine was the United States Military Academy at West Point. And yes, there is a…
You know how there are certain things in life that you can always count on? The black pants that go to and with everything. The best friend who will always listen. The fact that if you just run into the store for milk and have on your oldest sweats, no bra or makeup and haven’t…
I have nothing against naked. I loved it when my kiddies were tots, shedding clothing (randomly – I worried a bit til I found out that WAS a toddler thing) and running through the house. My beloved dog is an avowed nudist. (I will never give up my fight to get her into her Halloween…
I could also title this review: How I Got Punked By My Mother. So go ahead and take your pick, but either way, I, an intelligent thirty-eighteen year old woman, pretty much got snookered when I tried to serve The Crusher Rosé of Pinot Noir to my mom. As you may or may not know from…
As I have previously stated, Cheryl Durzy, the mom behind Mommy Juice Wines is a genius. Not only did she get MY mom to like a Chardonnay (see Winey Tasting Notes: Mommy Juice White), but she gave her wine a name that won’t require you to fib to your children when they ask what you…

If that isn’t a phrase straight out of my 1970’s childhood: hot to trot! For some reason all those old 70’s sitcoms are flashing through my brain right now (“One Day At A Time”, anyone?). Anyway, on to the wine. “Hot to Trot” really doesn’t refer to someone who’s got a certain sort of reputation. It…
