For the purposes of clarity, in the following review, I will refer to myself as Mommy and my mother as Mimi. She was christened with that name about 17 years ago by my now 19 year old West Point Cadet. (For the record, she thought “Gran” was the way to go – really cool and young – but when…
I really, really didn’t need another bottle of wine. I had just bought some a few days before. I wasn’t even planning on using them for a dinner party or some special occasion – I just like to have a few bottles around for cooking and of course, for sipping (in between high school basketball game…
Finding this wine is yet another good argument for doing my grocery shopping on Saturday. Yes, the store is a bit more crowded and yes, if I happen to meet up with a pal I haven’t seen in a while I do tend to walk by the things I need (like milk)….but my wonderful, locally owned, gourmet filled…
We are two weeks from Turkey Day, and you know what’s on your mind: Whattheheck kind of wine can I serve that goes well with turkey and a roomful of annoying relatives?

It’s funny how sometimes a certain item seems to “follow” you around. You’ll hear a song mentioned and then suddenly it’s playing on the radio. Or you try a new food and the recipe then pops up in a magazine. It was that way with me and Apothic Red Wine. I had seen it in…
It is a well known fact in my house that certain Halloween candy will mysteriously disappear from my children’s stashes. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard, “Hey, where did that big Snickers bar go?” or “I had some Peppermint Patties, I know I did.” I say if you can’t keep track…
There are quite a few wine bottles out there with some very naughty little names on them. Some of them have a double meaning, some are just meant to make us blush. Either way, it’s kind of fun to announce their names at the dinner party and see all the different reactions. Hence the first…
