Kids Write the Darndest Things!

This was sent to me by a school-teacher friend a couple of days ago. She thought I might enjoy it. She was right! According to her text messages, the exact conversation went as follows: Kid: “Why are you taking a picture of my work?” Teacher: “Because my friend sells wine…” Kid: “Your friend sells wine?” Teacher: “Yes. He’ll like this…”

Pairing Wine with the Cast of Downton Abbey: The Staff.

Ok! The long-awaited second part to my: Pairing Wine with the Cast of Downton Abbey series! Once again, just so we’re all on the same page, if you haven’t seen Downton Abbey, this is all going to make absolutely ZERO sense to you! Then again, if you haven’t seen Downton Abbey, this is a perfect reason to do so! I would like to point-out that there are a few “spoilers” lurking within this article…so read…

Just a Couple of the Amusing Wine Test Answers I’ve Received.

I couldn’t help but post this….with the particular students’ permission of course. As some of you may or may not know, I have spent the past year teaching a wine class at the local Art Institute here in Jacksonville. It’s only part-time, which turns-out to be perfect, since it enables me to keep my other “side-gigs” going, but it’s also actually extremely rewarding. Seeing students go from literally never tasting a wine before, to being…

Winebulance: The Sequel!

Well…..how’s about this! A Winebulance! So, I stumbled across this image today on The Facebook. The photo is of the “Winebulance” delivery truck from The Selsey Off-License in West Sussex, back in my Motherland (England). What a genius idea! I wish I’d have thought of it first…..oh wait…I did…. …back in July of 2012 (click here for the original post). Notice my logo in the bottom-left corner. I thought the idea of…

Pairing Wine with the Cast of Downton Abbey: The Nobility.

If you haven’t seen Downton Abbey, this post is going to make absolutely zero sense to you! Then again, if you haven’t seen Downton Abbey, this is a perfect reason to do so! I would like to point-out that there are a few “spoilers” lurking within this article…so read at your risk! The one thing to know about this post is that I didn’t pair a wine with every Downton character – mainly because there’s…

“I Like Wine” The Latest Hit from C Money.

I still can’t decide if I love this or hate it. I think it could have done with being half the length; but for the most part it was a good attempt at sending a wine-related video viral. Sidenote: It’s PG13, so don’t show it your kids!

What’s a “Good” Wine?

It’s often said that: “There are no stupid questions when it comes to wine!” but for the sake of this article, I’m going to disagree. I HATE the word “good” when referencing wine i.e. “Oh, you’re a Sommelier? What’s a good wine?” is a question I get thrown at me just about every week. I can’t lie, it makes me want to impale myself onto a wine opener every time hear it! It’s probably the…
