  There’s nothing quite like having wine friends. After all, our mutual topic of interest is a social lubricant. But there’s so much more to it, as Snooth’s recent blogger trip will attest. Earlier this month we had the opportunity to explore one of the country’s oldest and up-and-coming wine regions: Lodi, California. It still amazes me that a si... Read More

  There were three of us, or actually 2 1/2 since my wife didn't drink much and doesn't like whites. The burgers were going to be 50/50 bacon/beef, which opened a world of possibilities so we decided to go all-American. Halcón Vineyards Prado to start, a 50.50 Marsanne/Rousanne blend that would have gone really well with the mushroo... Read More

  While the ABV of a wine cooler is a waifish version of the 13- and 14-percenters you may be used to seeing in California, that hasn't stopped the Golden State's quaffers from enjoying a Renaissance of the drink once relegated to high-school parties and the neon kaleidoscope that was the 70's and 80's.  Earlier this week, Los Angeles Magazine rep...

  Ron, I am getting sucked deeper and deeper into your quandary.  I had not really considered any decision you may have regarding the 5 bottles that do not show damage.  I am curious, are they five different botles?  If you purchased multiples, I would certainly open up one soon and check it out.  Then you can make a decision whether or not you wa...

  Tonight we met with our Fidelity financial advisor to discuss our 'green line'.  We are in good shape and I'll no longer be on a bread & water diet just to make it to my senior years.   We celebrated by walking across the street and having a glass of wine at the Whole Foods wine bar.  I selected the Rose from Provence, France, while Sandra chose...
