They say, “Joe, why do you drink?”

Date: Sun, Mar 7, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I have a shameful confession to make: I am a Detroit Lions fan. There, it’s out there and I can’t take it back. I root for a team that has won 3 out of their last 39 games, holds the NFL record for the longest drought of road wins, and is the only team in [...]

A Tale of Two Meals

Date: Sat, Mar 6, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

To be honest, it made me want to go back in the kitchen and cook each course properly so that the chef and the proprietor could taste the difference. I can't help it, I have a Gordon Ramsey complex. "Have you $@#%ing TASTED it???"

Early estimates put the loss at $975 million due to spillage from barrels and storage tanks damaged in Saturday's 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile. Not since Prohibition has this much wine been spilled in one day alone.

Sonoma Coast Jewels: Freeman Vineyard & Winery

Date: Mon, Mar 1, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Part of my motivation to visit Freeman Vineyard & Winery was reading that co-owner and assistant winemaker learned about wine from her grandfather, a Japanese scholar. And that she shared the same first name as my study abroad hostess, Akiko.

Fish for Lent?

Date: Sat, Feb 20, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

This isn't going to be another one of those tired old articles about how to not suffer too much during Lent. In fact, if you are a believer who devoutly gives up meat for the horrors of something like shrimp or sushi, you should probably stop reading right now and go get yourself some *&#%ing tilapia.

Date: Thu, Feb 18, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I see this relentless need to beat a dead horse as posturing and turf battles between bloggers who see themselves as citizen journalists, giving their opinions to those yearning for knowledge and entertainment, and writers, whose livelihood is threatened by the "insurgent" bloggers.

Stay home for Valentine’s Day!

Date: Sat, Feb 13, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I have my way, it will be the last time that I ever set foot into a restaurant on Valentine's Day. It is a day when the lure of a huge payday entices restaurateurs and chefs, who have spent years building a following and reputation, to over-book and under-deliver.

Why I don’t like anything

Date: Tue, Jan 26, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Many years ago my mother wanted to see Bob Seger when he was in town. While I liked his old stuff, I had never been much of a fan of anything from about Night Moves on. But mom wanted to go, and one of my friends wanted to see him too, so we all got [...]

Who Dat?!?

Date: Sun, Jan 24, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Our visit to New Orleans last month as part of Harrah's Greatest Weekend Ever was met with such hospitality and warmth that we feel like extended family. We cannot think of a city that deserves a trip to the Super Bowl more!

Wines rated 90 and above by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator's Top 100 didn't earn a medal.
