TURKEY WINE 2018
Thanksgiving wine pairing Ahhh, it’s that time of year again. The temps are dropping, the leaves are crispy and your Thanksgiving to do list is hot on your mind.
URUGUAY, WHY NOT?
Uruguay, where are we? Does your 7-year-old know where Uruguay is? Mine does! Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with school or great parenting skills but everything to do with wine.
WINE TASTING PARTY
The school called me today to tell me a few things. The first was that my son had spent the morning loudly telling his fellow first graders that he “forgot” to put on underwear this morning.
WHISKEY DIVERSION
Whether you spell whiskey with an “ey” or an “y,”, this is for you! Excuse me, isn’t this a blog about wine? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere? Stay with me folks, I’m just keeping you sharp.
NO WHINING IN THE NO-WEST!
HOLLA! What’s this west coast girl doing in New York City? Well, that is a story for another day – but if there is one thing I love, it is wine from the west coast, and especially the Northwest region.
EAT, DRINK AND BE THANKFUL!
Just look around the corner… it’s Thanksgiving! Put aside your political comments and be thankful for one another (even for family members’ who voted for the “other” party!).
DRINKS WELL WITH OTHERS...
What’s a mom to do…and where has this mom been?
On the eve of my ‘big test,’ the odds seemed stacked against me. Child one broke out in hives. Just for fun? I don’t know. Still no idea why. Child 2 developed a 103 fever, later diagnosed with strep throat, and child 3 injured his hand, as in, OUCH. All in the span of an hour. At least I had about 6 glasses of wine in front of me. Bottoms up. #blindtastingpractice
PINOT CRAZED...
I am standing in line with a couple hundred people. We are not here for Taylor Swift or to audition for the Voice, we are here celebrating Pinot Noir at a salmon bake under a grove of old mossy oak trees and strings of hundreds of romantic white lanterns.
FREE... RIESLING?
Who doesn’t love getting something for free? Especially, free wine? No, this is not like when your toddler offers you some dirty water out of a tea cup during “tea time” but actual real wine, probably in a real glass.
SHUT UP.… (DANCE, DREAM AND HAVE A DRINK!)
“Sometimes you want to just say…” D yells as the music shouts “shut up, shut up” .
CORAVIN, READY OR NOT!
They were lined up like soldiers, armed with shiny new artillery, the Coravin.
WINE AT TARGET? I’M JEALOUS.
It’s been a long winter. Did I say loooooong? Spring break is late this year. Did I say late? I’ve been dreaming of the warmth since November.
