This could be one crazy weekend for me. It’s Open House, which is crazy enough by itself, but I think this one is going to be super busy. We sold tickets online for only the third time, and yesterday afternoon found the cap of 800 for today already reached, with plenty of people calling to […]
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 […]
That’s the topic of our next wine seminar at Rosenblum Cellars. Not that there’s any magic answer to how long to hold on to a bottle, but we will explore ways you can make an educated guess. Plus, I timed this class to come right before Open That Bottle Night 9 so that I can […]
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 […]
Everyone gets so worked up about sparkling wine for New Year’s Eve. Which one to have, how much to spend, whether it needs to be the real stuff or not. Not that I think anything other than Champagne isn’t the real stuff. I adore sparkling wine. Hell, I’ve written it a sonnet. So I don’t need New […]
Though my blog is still in its early stage, it’s quite sad to me that Wine Blogging Wednesday #40 was the first time I had to add Petite Sirah to my list of categories. Though I have talked about it before, as in my intro post and when talking about my visit to Twisted Oak […]
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about the teaching part of my past before. It was something I was interested in as a kid and later in high school when I taught Sunday School at Holy Savior Catholic Church and with my Girl Scout troop who was always teaching younger girls songs and crafts. But […]
When I was growing up, sweets weren’t all that important to me. My mom always decorated for each holiday, including M & M’s and Kisses in their appropriate colors, and my friends would be munching on them weeks and months later. But as I’ve gotten older, the craving has presented itself, and I can understand […]
Lucky you, readers and drinkers, that I keep coming across these fun posts that almost got lost in the new blog/old blog adjustment. I just found two pages, folded up and a little stained, from our camping trip back in July. Here’s what I wrote:
This is my second morning waking up in a tent. I […]
