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.
YOU HAD ME AT CHABLIS...
What can a girl say about Chablis? It’s kinda the middle child of Burgundy. You know, the amazing, kick a** kid who is left in the shadows of the younger and older siblings?
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!).
HELLO, LODI! NO WHINING HERE!
Lodi, CA. MY friends look baffled when I tell them where I’m going. My kids ask if they have a Target in Lodi. “Can you get us presents?” Really, they don’t care – they just want something shiny! And pretty much everyone else only thinks of Napa when they hear ‘California wine country.’
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
CHEAP AND EASY! (PART ONE)
When traveling, try not to end up at a ‘dry’ place on #nationaldrinkwineday! Please. Although, let’s be honest, what day isn’t #nationaldrinkwineday? Especially for this mother! Magic kingdom would earn the title ‘happiest place on earth’ if it actually had wine!
