Can you see why Chloe is the perfect dogfor The Winey Household? Another wine for the “empty nest series” that I have decided to dedicate to my two dogs, since they are the only “children” left in The Winey Empty Nest. But, unlike my last entry in this category (Fred’s Red), the wine I’m reviewing…
There is no better way to spend a crisp sunny Saturday than on one of the Lake Erie islands. And if you happen to spend it with three good friends at the put in Bay Wine Fest, well all the better. That’s how I spent last Saturday, courtesy of the Miller Boat Line and Island…
With the Winey Daughter’s departure to college, I suppose you could call the Winey House a Winey Empty Nest. But that really would not be fair to the two Winey “children” who are left in the nest. Sure, they might not be human (in the “scientific sense” of the term), but they are our children….
It’s kind of a well known fact that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to get a great bottle of wine. (And yet, I still can’t resist telling the Winey Hubby I’m going to order the $300 bottle of champagne every time we go to a restaurant that carries such bottles. He…
Why am I telling you about wine from North Carolina? I mean, I could talk about wine from anywhere in the world, right? Well, I have good reason for my interest in this lovely southern state. You see, three weeks ago, my Winey nest emptied out as the Winey Daughter headed south to start college….
I will admit to enjoying my wine with a side of giggles. Any wine that can make me smile after I read the label is very likely to end up in my cart, especially if it’s a little bit naughty in nature. I always smile when I spy a wine by Menage a Trois, mostly…
The first few things that come to my Winey mind when I hear the word “port” (in the wine sense of the word, not the nautical sense) are: English manors, dark wood libraries and men in velvet coats sipping port. Unfortunately, these men are not the Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice type guys. (A…
Oh to spend a day on the Italian Riviera, wandering through the streets of some of the most enchanting little towns you’ve ever seen, boating between the towns themselves, paddle boarding on the Mediterranean Sea. What could be better? Well, maybe if there was wine. And there was!!! The terraced hills of Cinque Terre Main…
Hee hee hee. I’ll bet you all took one look at that title and thought, “She went to Target while she was in Rome? Seriously?” The Winey Family at St. Peter’s Allow me to let you in on our little family joke. While we were in Rome this past month, we stayed at a great…
One of my Spritz breaks. I saw them servedmostly in this oversized red wine type glass. Another post about sipping like an Italian, or as I call it, “What I Did On Vacation.” This time, I’m going to tell you how to make a Spritz. If you want to sip like they do in Italy, you’ve…
