Last night my best buddy and I enjoyed a beef stir-fry with a bottle of Institut Agricole Régional Cornalin, from Valle d’Aosta in Italy, vintage 2006.

So these are the celebrities I most closely resemble, Marcia Cross being the top match, according to a fun app at MyHeritage.com. That’s me in the middle, by the way, not some devastatingly attractive supermodel (guffaw). They also have an app that morphs your face into your top look-alike. I found out about this utility [...]

(Note - I’ve changed my handle from s_r_m to bloviatrix on Twitter to help establish my ‘brand’). This was a virtual group tasting amongst several well-known [...]

I’ve been a Vayniac (fan) since early November ’07 when I discovered Wine Library TV after reading this article in Slate. [...]

The theme this month is summery white wine varietals generally associated with the Rhone Valley in France, to quote: “The varieties that I think best exemplify summer are white varieties associated with the Rhone: Bourboulenc, Clairette Blanc, Grenache Blanc, [...]
Last night I attended a pleasurable tasting/class at Gordon’s Fine Wine & Culinary Center featuring winemaker/producer Olivier Humbrecht (pronounced oom-bresht) of very well regarded winery Domaine Zind-Humbrecht of Turckheim, Alsace, France.
