We did it! The Winey Family is just back from a long awaited trip to Italy, a country we have been saving and scheming to visit for about 2 years. To misquote Julius Caesar: “Venimus, vidimus, omens nos” (translation: We came, we saw, we did it all!) From the sightseeing to the eating and shopping…
“Hey, Mom, did you know that America’s oldest winery is right near here?” Oh, the joy in my Winey heart as the Winey Son, calling from West Point, uttered those happy words. He was planning some trips for us the week of graduation, and Brotherhood Winery of Washingtonville, NY was one of the first outings…
It was quite a day. We woke up at 5 am and were out the door of our hotel by 5:30. It was a damp, chilly fog shrouded Hudson Valley morning. We pulled up to the gates and were waved on through. And then again. Then it was onto the shuttle bus, into the football…
As I write this review the Winey Family is just days out from the Winey Son’s graduation from West Point. This will be our first graduation of the week, since three days after, the Winey Daughter will graduate from high school. So as you might image, The Winey Hubby and I have been doing some…
Last Friday was International Sauvignon Blanc Day. As I said in my review that day (Novas Sauvignon Blanc) I tend to be very suspicious of made up holidays. That does not, however, include the ones that have to do with drinking wine. On that note, let me wish all of you a happy National Chardonnay…
OK, am I the only one who is very suspicious of made up holidays? Did you know there is a frog jumping day? A sea monkey day? An accounting day (eww…math…shudder)? Don’t get me started on Sweetest Day, as we here in the Winey Household ignore that one completely. I suppose you could find a…
Whenever I hear the word “penny-wise” (or is it penny wise? In which case I should say words.. OK, whatever) I automatically add the phrase “and pound foolish” after it. I know that this is a very old saying, in fact, according to Miriam Webster, this phrase was first used in 1607.1 That may be very…
I give you proof that my family is made from ice cream.This is the FIRST place the Winey Hubby and WineyDaughter went upon boarding our cruise shipthis past Spring break. We hadn’t even left port yet. I am a loner in the Winey Household. At least, I stand alone when it comes to the ice…
The Winey Family (minus the Winey Son because he took his own spring break trip with his buddies) has recently returned from a wonderful spring break cruise. Yes I said “cruise”.. and don’t start with me. No, we didn’t get sick, the boat was fine, the toilets worked and all was well. If I sound…
I love the grocery store! I don’t have to try anything on, I don’t have to search for sizes, I don’t have to worry about if the color will look good on me. I don’t have to measure to see if it will fit on a wall/in a room. Nope, at the grocery store, it’s…
