The Winey Family came through for Christmas this year, as far as their Winey Mom is concerned. There was an Elon University wine glass from The Winey Freshman (i.e.: Daughter), a wine fridge from The Winey Hubby (dual control for reds and whites!) and four bottles of Arizona wine from The Winey Son. You did…
The Winey Family’s OfficialBrutus Buckeye Having now lived in Ohio for over 25 years, specifically Cleveland, I can honestly say that it’s a wonderful place to live and work and raise your family. The only drawback that I can see (and no, in my Winey World, snow is NOT a drawback) is that sometimes, our…
I hate to admit this, and it really goes against my grain to do so, but I had a great bottle of wine all ready to serve on Thanksgiving, and I forgot about it. This is something that no self respecting Winey Mom should probably admit to, but it did happen. And in my own…
I am of the firm mind that a good Pinot Noir is a wonderful thing to find…but that doesn’t mean it is an easy search. So a few weeks ago, I was sitting at a wine tasting dinner, just minding my own taste buds, when a good…no, dare I say…great Pinot Noir just plopped right…
One afternoon a few weeks ago, I was texting with The Winey Daughter. We do it a lot – a little text to say hello or to ask a quick question. (I am convinced I hear more from my freshman because of text messaging than my parents ever did in the days of land lines…
Please note that the above reference to vertical sipping does not mean you must be standing up to drink this wine. I mean, you could, if you wanted. But it’s not a deal breaker. What I mean by a vertical tasting is that we are going to compare two of the same wine – same…
Happy 2014 Tempranillo Day! I know, I know, and you without a present. Well don’t worry, there is still time to celebrate..and thanks to the Lodi Winegrape Commission I recently got to sample some of that California appellation’s Tempranillos. A little background, courtesy of my very entertaining on-line tasting with the Commission. Tempranillo means…
You know you’ve reached a certain milestone as a Winey Mom when Winey Friends start giving you their leftover wine. I have reached that milestone. And I’m proud of it. A few weeks ago, one of my Winey Besties (and by Bestie I mean someone who has sat by my side through countless high school…
Halloween is such a fun time of year….the candy, the costumes, the parties, the candy. And thanks to the enterprising minds of some winemakers, there is also the Halloween themed wine. Boo! It’s really not wrong. This year, as I was looking for such a wine, I came across some pure Evil. There it was,…
Another article celebrating the only children left in the Winey Empty Nest: the doggies. Except this post could sort of be called a throwback post, because today I am going to celebrate the doggie that I grew up with: a black Labrador Retriever named Scamper. Scamper, circa late 1970’s Scamper (aka Scamper-damper, Scamper Boo-Boo, Scamper…
