I have some exciting news I’ve been meaning to share and somehow forgot. Last Monday, when I posted about my Open That Bottle Night party, I also sent an e-mail about it to John and Dottie, who created the event. I told them how it was my second OTBN and how I was much more […]
As much as I went on about Open That Bottle Night (the contest, tie-in to the aging seminar I thought up…) you’re probably expecting that I had a big to-do on Saturday night. And I did… but a relatively low-key version. I had a group of wine-lovin’ friends over to share in the event, asking that […]
Richard A from A Passionate Foodie takes the prize. My selection process was very high-tech, as you can see—using my Longaberger wine basket. Once I get his info (he lives in the strict shipping state of Massachusetts but has an address he can use in NH, I think), I will ship him the two bottles […]
Don’t forget: Open That Bottle Night contest ends tomorrow at midnight (Pacific Time).
All you have to do is check the guidelines here and let me know which wine you’re planning to open this Saturday, February 23, for the big event.
You can win two bottles of Rosenblum Cellars Zinfandel just for leaving a comment!

In case you missed it, you’re just joining me, or you’ve forgotten….I’m having a contest based on Open That Bottle Night. All you have to do is go here and tell me in the comment section which bottle you think you might open February 23 for this much-celebrated event started by Dorothy Gaiter and John […]
My recent post explained what Open That Bottle Night is about: no longer waiting for the perfect opportunity to make the most of a special bottle of wine. The internationally celebrated event will take place the last Saturday of February, when guys and gals will pull out their waiter’s corkscrew, Rabbit, Ah-so, Laguiole or whatever opener […]
I found out about Open That Bottle Night last year when I was reading Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher’s book Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion : Red, White, and Bubbly to Celebrate the Joy of Living. Right then I knew it was a remarkable idea and couldn’t wait for February. To put forth this idea […]
