Bye-Bye Wine Rituals?
in Celebrate Wine, on December 8, 2006
Of course, I've finally given up to the idea that corks will make a come back, and I am regularly buying wine now with screwcaps. However, I still haven't had been in the situation yet where I've been dining out and had the server screw open my bottle (shiver). To me, this is what I w...

Wine Etiquette for Women
in Celebrate Wine, on October 25, 2006
I'm not really sure why wine etiquette would be different for men than for women, so I was intrigued with this web page from Mirassou winery .
Then again, I can't think of a time where I've been in some high class business meeting where I've had to order wine. I usually don'...
Coffee and Wine Comparison
in Celebrate Wine, on October 11, 2006
I've only recently become a coffee drinker.
In fact, I'm still kind of a coffee wuss.
It takes me about a half hour at most fancy coffee places to order a cup of something, while it takes me about five minutes to pick out a bottle of wine.
Go figure.
But, if you think about it, bot...
More Praise for Chile's Wines
in Celebrate Wine, on October 10, 2006
I hear a lot about wines from Chile, but I have to say that I don't see a lot of variety offered in my small circle, which includes a few wine clubs and local grocery and liquor store.
I guess that means I need to look a little harder, perhaps break out of my buying routine now and then.

Attending a wine tasting event is a wonderful way to taste a variety of wines without having to spend a ton of money or get totally wasted.

in Celebrate Wine, on October 7, 2006
Okay, I think the picture to the left says it all. This is not your typical Florida event. I'm sorry folks. That picture just doesn't resemble much of what I've seen around here. Not that it isn't beautiful. In fact, this time of year it is wonderful, especially the weather, but t...
New Zealand's Premier Annual Pinot Noir Event
in Celebrate Wine, on October 5, 2006
Enjoy some Pinot Noir at this wine tasting event in New Zealand. This is a little unusual since it seems to be run by a company called the Fine Wine Delivery Company rather than an event put on by a non-commercial group, but it might still be worth checking out for those on that side of the glo...
Wine Class Is in Session
in Celebrate Wine, on September 27, 2006
It's fun to do wine tastings at home with just me and the mister, but I still feel pretty intimidate when there are more than just the two of us and I have verbalize my wine thoughts so to speak.
A wine class would be fun, and I think it is a great way to get used to speaking up (in a hopef...

For those lucky enough to live in the area, you have plenty of time still to plan your trip for this next weekend, September 23 and 24...
Wine Tasting Parties
in Celebrate Wine, on September 1, 2006
While we aren't into throwing huge parties, every once in awhile we like to have a few people over to enjoy some wine and a little munchies. It can be tricky though because not everyone has the same tastes when it comes to wine, let alone food.
Our most recent attempt at this turned out oka...
