Reminder:Wine Book Club & Wine Writers

In case you missed the announcement, or you read it and have since forgotten….
Go ahead and pick up your copy of Tasting Pleasure: Confessions of a Wine Lover by Jancis Robinson.  You can get it from Amazon ($16.20 new or as low as two bucks from other sellers), Overstock (same price new), or your library (Free!). […]

New Poll: Who Do You Like to Read the Most?

I know I probably left out some obvious choices, so I hope the ‘add an answer’ option works this time…
EDIT:  I did add the Winehiker’s choice, though Brian didn’t seem to have any problems getting one on the list.  I also added the writers from the second Wine Book Club…and this last one.

Of those found in print, […]

Poll Results: Get Thee to Work

I gave you 12 possible jobs and the option to add new answers, which apparently didn’t work. It seems that if you had your choice (and perhaps a trust fund so that you could do whatever your heart desires), the largest segment (28%) would like to own a winery, which I guess would mean you could […]

Reminder: Pick Your Dream Job

Readers and drinkers, I’m getting ready to close my latest poll sometime this weekend.  So if you haven’t had a chance to weigh in on the wine track you’d most like to follow, let your voice be heard now.

If money were not a concern, what would you most like to do in the wine business?

Make […]

What’s Your Dream Job?

When it comes to wine, what would you most like to do? With so many options out there, I may have left some out, so feel free to add an answer, as long as it’s wine related.

If money were not a concern, what would you most like to do in the wine business?

At Least I’m Not the Only One…

When I closed my poll on Saturday, it was a relief to see that I was not the only one to spend too much money at wine shops, on wine clubs, and whatever other random bottles fill our racks and fridges.  In fact, almost 50% (46%, to be exact) did as much.  Wow. The next most […]

Poll Reminder: Spending Habits

I put up a poll a couple weeks ago, and I’m getting ready to close it.  I was hoping to get a few more responses, first, though.  Tell me how you spend your money! Is it on wine, dining out, savings, etc? (Mine used to be the first, but now it needs to be the […]

New Poll: Where Does Your Money Go?

Now that I’m planning on getting serious about saving, a real budget is on order.  How else will I ever be able to stop renting?  Looking back over my past spending habits, it becomes blatantly obvious that one area of interest takes up the majority of my extra money.  Now I’m curious to see how […]

The People Have Spoken: No Perfume

Well, there it is, readers and drinkers. 
33% of you wish that fellow tasters would lay off perfume and cologne. (Here, here. I found this especially distracting while teaching my component analysis seminar, which is all about the senses. A gal wearing patchouli even drowned out the ground coffee beans and the liquid smoke.)
20% of you […]

Poll Reminder: Which Wine Behavior Makes You Whine?

Don’t forget about the poll I’m taking to see which actions turn you off in tasting rooms. I put my answer in early, but after last weekend found myself wishing I had entered a different one. With one entry out front for the past couple weeks, another one is slowly catching up. Have your say if […]
