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 […]

Poll Results: More Wine Sickos Than Expected

The polls are closed, and there were no voting mishaps that I know of. I asked you, drinkers and readers, a little while ago—how much wine you usually buy when out wine tasting for the day.  Whether it be Napa, Anderson Valley, or Virginia….you’re taking the goods home.  Happily, I found I’m not alone in […]

Poll Reminder:Do You Have My Sickness?

Just a reminder about my poll, as I’ll be closing it on Friday. I’m trying to see if other people suffer from the same problem I have: being unable to say no to buying wine, especially when at the winery.  No matter the budget or space issues, I have to give in.  No backing away slowly.
And […]
