Okay, so that’s not the real theme. That’s me: completely forgetting about WBW until I read the tweet Dr. Debs left on Twitter last night about her turn at hosting. I had thought about it several times over the past month and had plans to compare the Rhone white hanging out in our collection to several […]
Dr. Debs has just announced the theme for Wine Blogging Wednesday #46: Rhone whites. She isn’t being picky about the location; you can choose France or California, or— for bonus points— both. White grapes that are used in the Rhone Valley include Bourbolenc, Clairette Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains, Picardin, Picpoul, […]
Luckily, this month’s Wine Blogging Wenesday theme fit in nicely with my tasting group assignment. Old World Riesling, meet Alsace. Two for the price of one. However, when Tim from Winecast, our busy host (he just recapped Wine Book Club 2), does his round-up…he’ll find that my purchase is not one to recommend revisiting. In […]
This month’s Wine Blogging Wednesday finds our host as the slightly well-known Gary Vaynerchuk. You know, that guy who chews his wine, along with his dirt. He picked a fairly narrow focus this time: it had to be French and it had to be Cabernet Franc.
Well, the Loire Valley immediately jumped out, and within the Loire, the […]
Last night my fortune cookie told me my enthusiastic leadership would earn me a promotion when I least expect it.
So maybe I will enter Twisted Oak’s back label contest, after all. I missed out on the rubber chickens last month and last year on the label contest for the white Rhone blend (%@#$!), my entry […]
I’ve been thinking about this Wine Blogging Wednesday assignment for a while, different wine styles and varieties running through my head like determined marathon competitors. Would the winner be Petite Sirah: the first unusual variety I fell in love with over ten years ago? Gewurztraminer: that wonderful match for Thai food? Pinot Noir: the one I […]
With the approach of Wine Blogging Wednesday #43 and its focus on comfort, I was thinking about what wines make me feel all warm and fuzzy. Often, it’s closely related to the memories associated with them—either in the consumption or the acquisition.
And as I was also thinking how I needed to report on more of […]

jack and Joanne have posted their round-up for Wine Blogging Wednesday #41: Friuli White Wines. There was quite a bit of Tocai Friulano and Pinot Grigio (which is what I tasted) but not much overlap between specific wines. The next assignment is ready, and listen, folks, cause this one’s a bit wacky. Ready? […]
This month’s Wine Blogging Wednesday finds us travelling to Italy, where I’d love to revisit some time for more than just a day. (Granted, it was a day in Venice and amazing to a 16 year old who’d never been anywhere, but I need to get back, especially with my no longer picky palate.) This […]
