Friday is May Day! How time has flown by. Spring is in full swing, and it’s time to celebrate! I have been so busy traveling here and there to taste wines recently, that I haven’t had time to sit back and smell the roses. May 16th I can sit down, relax, and taste in my [...] France! Varietal labels! Two levels! Oh boy oh boy! I can’t tell you how excited I was when I got the invitation to taste two labels, Robert Skalli and Fortant, in a wine bar that I have been dying to check out, CAV. Since I have not had a lot of exposure to old world [...] When the box first arrived in my mail room at the office, I was slightly scared that someone was playing a bad joke on me.

As you struggle to find a few pennies [...] Recently, I was lucky enough to attend the 7th Annual Passion for Pinot Summit. This was an opportunity for the Pinot Noir lover, Press & Trade to get together and have a Pinot Noir Taste-Off. This is a unique event that really pulls the lid off of wine judging, and allows the average Josephine to become [...] You’re the Rhone that I want! That’s the theme for this year’s Hospices du Rhône event, and it’s a great one. To tie in with this annual extravaganza, Twitter Taste Live is doing a multi-national, multi-coastal, multi time zone tasting event that you can be a part of! I am a huge fan of the simple dinner. Being a single girl, I like to come home, kick my feet up and open something tasty to drink. Dinner is a necessary evil, so I look for the simple solution. Such was the case one day a while ago, when I looked in the fridge and [...] |
