There are friends that will be forever friends, no matter how often or little you actually see them in person. I am blessed to have found a number of friends like that and they’re from all different times in my life. They are from high school, college, my early married days and from work. But,…
I know that we all need oxygen and the air it resides in order to live. But I learned a big lesson when I started sipping a red blend recently: wine needs oxygen and air more than we do. Not always, mind you. But when a red wine needs to breathe – you’d better let…
They say that it’s the little things in life that count. Sure, there are big epic moments in all of our lives, but when you think about it, the little moments are the ones that add up to be bulk of our experiences. So when you have a few little victories in one day, you…
In wine, there are no coincidences. If someone mentions a wine to you, and you are destined to sip it, the universe will conspire to get you that wine. That’s what happened to me with recently with Red Diamond Chardonnay! It all started when The Winey Family was in Arizona. We met up with a…
Since the Winey Nest has become a Winey Empty Nest, I have dedicated a new series of wine reviews to the children who will never leave for college and career: The Winey Doggies. They are a pair of little characters: Chloe, an 11 year old Maltese and Rory, a 2 year old mostly Maltese (she…
Judging by the gifts that The Winey Children bought for The Winey Hubby and I this past Christmas, we can honestly say that we have taught them well when it comes to choosing presents. The Winey Hubby has very good taste when it comes to shopping. He has his artist mother’s eye for decorating and…

When I say favorite I am referring to chocolate and wine. Together. Because there’s no other time of the year when…
A few weeks ago, I reviewed a pair of Wente Vineyards reds and, the best of my winey ability, talked about the difference between a single vineyard wine and an estate grown wine. (Winey Tasting Notes: A Pair of Wente Reds, A Few New Wine Words) And I’m going to do it again this week,…
It was the perfect reminder of our summer trip to Italy, and it landed on my doorstep on a chilly December day, thanks to my buddies at Banfi Wines. “It” was a bottle of Castello Banfi’s San Angelo Pinot Grigio (2013, 13%, Tuscany, Italy) and just looking at its pretty lightly golden color made me want to…
Wine words. If you spend any time around wine (ahem), you’ll get your fill of them. Tannic. Varietal. Dry. Off-dry. Sweet. Vineyard. Estate. You get the idea, right? Sometimes, it’s good to know them. For instance, you don’t want to buy a wine that’s described as “off-dry” if you don’t like sweet wines. But what…
