If you like to cook or eat,
we probably should meet!
Lately, I have been drinking less and saving champagne from the region of champagne – pronounced Rance…. (like France without the F), as a treat. I still enjoy the bubbly so I switched to Prosecco. Here’s the research from a ‘how to buy guide‘ I found online which tells you How to Pick Prosecco. Surprise! … Read more
Have you ever wondered….. Should I buy a Screw Top or Cork? Does it matter? Well, I was thinking about that. I know that wine out of a box doesn’t matter if it’s under 10 wine. And the history of screw on’s goes back many decades and I associate it with jug wine. But now, … Read more
Wine Magazine tells us there are new things on the horizon: Wine & Beer Hybrids. Combining brewing and winemaking. You knew it was just a matter of time! In an article by Jay C. Williams, he quotes a Brewmaster: “By blending two seemingly opposite worlds of beer and wine together, we’ve discovered they collide quite nicely”. Thanks … Read more
I was reading Dave McIntyre, Food Columnist for the Washington Post, who says America is Drinking Less Wine but Better Wine.

Today, July 17, 2016 I received an email from Dima Galkin, who gave me more information about a block I wrote about Von’s Liquor Return Policy in May of 2012. It’s great to see with over 400 blogs now, people are actually going back in time to read and still get some value from what … Read more
I was so blown out this week when I realized that Coconut Water is NOT what you think it is. Very, very disappointing. One of the things I know for sure is I need to drink 8 – 12 full glasses of water every day. I also know that wine is dehydrating and Coconut Water is … Read more
Now, my friend Michael is someone who is constantly experimenting with wine and came across some Shocking News about the French and Milk. Now I haven’t dug further, so I can’t say for sure….. but when I am told something from a reliable source who is big on the cutting edge of wine…. I feel … Read more
GMO Coffee? Really? Really? I know that there has been quite a ‘counter culture’ buzz out there lately about perhaps genetically modified anything might not be so bad. Yes.
