My other wine blog, Wine Outlook, mainly serves to give people information about Rosenblum Cellars, where I work. Upcoming events, interesting characters, wine club updates, and the weekly tasting menu that I write every Friday. That is actually one of my favorite aspects of the job–something that wasn’t even in the description. When people remark on […]
I’m not the kind of girl who has to have Riedel and a perfect white backdrop to enjoy a good bottle of wine. It can be drunk out of plastic glassware on a slightly rough picnic table by the light of a Coleman lantern. Saturday after work, I drove to a campsite at Lake Chabot. All I had to worry […]
I took this photo and made notes on a cocktail napkin the first time BK and I ate at Kamakura in Alameda. Having been told by co-workers and customers that it was the best sushi in town, I was happy to judge for myself that it was. Plus, the owner is a sweet little lady […]
My friend Chris, who works as a chemist in the Rosenblum lab, came back from another trip to Thailand and brought back with him some wine made in the northeastern part of the country. I was surprised to find out that there even is Thai wine, though, I guess I shouldn’t have been, what with […]
Not exactly wine news, I know, but it was fun to be a part of something big and just down the road from the winery where I work. Last night, I tasted Absinthe for the first time–in Alameda, the night before St. George Spirits started selling to the masses today for $75 a bottle. Forbidden Island, […]
When you buy a bottle of wine for three or four dollars from a bargain grocery store, it’s hard to know what to expect. Especially when the wine comes from a country you don’t normally associate with wine. When I picked up the bottle of 2006 Golan Heights ‘Yarden’ Gewurztraminer from Israel, therefore, I had […]
I have to show you, readers and drinkers, a picture of the food because I forgot to take a picture of the bottle. Too bad, as this wine is a very interesting one: 2005 Woodsman’s White made from the Cserszegi Füszeres grape, which is a cross between Gewurztraminer and Irsai Oliver, itself a cross. It’s […]
Thanks to Fork & Bottle for hosting For Wine Blogging Wednesday #29.
Once the winemaker at Fogarty asked me to help him with a letter to his Martella club members, concerning his attraction to biodynamic wines and decision to make more of them. So I read Hugh Courtney’s 40+ page introduction to What Is Biodynamics?: A […]
