I seem to be on a Sauvignon Blanc kick these days. It may be the direct result of summer finally arriving here in Cleveland. And the temperature is finally in the 80’s instead of the humidity level and/or chance of rain being in the 80’s. It seems that these conditions have me reaching for a…
I know that I’ve talked about fun wine labels before, but as I wandered the wine aisles recently, I spied a really different type of wine bottle label. It was blank. And it had a little tag around the neck of the bottle, with a little pencil attached to it. The instructions on the tag…
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…
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,…
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?

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…

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….
