The polls are closed, and there were no voting mishaps that I know of. I asked you, drinkers and readers, a little while ago—how much wine you usually buy when out wine tasting for the day. Whether it be Napa, Anderson Valley, or Virginia….you’re taking the goods home. Happily, I found I’m not alone in […]
Just a reminder about my poll, as I’ll be closing it on Friday. I’m trying to see if other people suffer from the same problem I have: being unable to say no to buying wine, especially when at the winery. No matter the budget or space issues, I have to give in. No backing away slowly.
And […]
Not too long ago I was lamenting where to stuff all the excess bottles of wine, and then I had to go and make the problem worse. But I had to. My trip to the Mendocino coast and Anderson Valley was long awaited and more than worth it. The wines were ones that I had to take, due to […]
I did not make a conscious decision to drink less wine this year. Just the opposite. Ok, I think my exact words were actually more like hoping to get my rate of buying wine nearer my rate of drinking it. But as I lug in four bottles from today’s wine tasting, I know that isn’t going to happen. With […]
My problem is certainly not the worst one you could have. But working at a winery and visiting other ones often (tomorrow, in fact) only brings out the symptoms of my already present and ever-growing sickness. Wine bottles are everywhere. Since Santa didn’t get my request in time, I had to take matters into my […]
Dear Santa,
I know it’s a little late, and you’ve probably loaded the sleigh already. And even if you haven’t, what I’m looking for might be too much for the reindeer to cart around the world. But I’m giving you a heads up for next year. My one little wine cooler is jam-packed, with bottles shoved […]
When I was in the process of packing and moving and unpacking, I put my Netflix account on hold (a handy feature if you’re super busy or on extended vacation).
Just recently, I started it up again and decided it was time to open a new account: on Wine Q. Now, if you haven’t heard of […]
Readers and drinkers, things are finally getting organized. I feel like I’ve been absent from blogging for so many reasons. New job, new relationship, so much time spent driving to and from work, new responsibilities. Well, now that I’m settled in Alameda, I feel renewed and ready to get back to writing on a […]
Thankfully art and wine both travel well in suitcases. I was concerned about the condition of a few pieces I bought from The Attic Gallery in Vicksburg, MS, including a painting plagued my thoughts since I first saw it and some sculpture work. I wrapped and taped the pieces in bubble wrap and put them […]
