My Beaujolais wine goblets don’t get enough play so I stopped by my local wine shop to pick up a bottle of Beaujolais wine. Although there are plenty of producers of Beaujolais I went with the popular Georges Debeuf label. First off Beaujolais is an area in (center) east France. There are thousands of [...]

That would explain why I snagged two bottles of wine from the office that had been shamlessly buried behind cleaning products and old mold-crusted rags under the sink of our communal kitchen. After a little Google’ing I figured both at [...]

I was still pretty indifferent the week of the surgery so unfortunately I’m writing this post op, but I was scared shitless this week [...]

Although i live in a city with arguable some of the best restaurants in the world I typically opt to cook at home than to go out to eat; this [...]

I hate how running leaves very little time for wine drinking. And when I do decide to squeeze in a glass of wine it’s that darn Carlos Rossi Burgundy [...]
Continue Reading →I’ve always known I’d be a better partner to a nascent 30-something Hello Kitty obsessed woman. My differentiating for high-end baby strollers, well-dressed dogs, high arches on a woman, and exaggerated pinkies disallows me to date someone normal. Last night I was out on a date and I fear I struck out with this lovely [...]
Continue Reading →I think I found a wine for all you Moscato drinkers. It’s semi-dry bright red wine from Armenia. I’ve never had wine made of fermented pomegranate juice, but it’s quite good! It reminds me of ice wine. Mardik has a ripe cherry palate with a touch of spice, and a very pleasant strawberry syrup [...]
Continue Reading →I’ve been drinking a ton of jug wine lately; mostly reds. Which is either a testament to my holiday season wine consumption, or the economic feasibility of feeding my wine cravings and still having money to holiday shop. Jug wine tends to be a relatively inexpensive table wine, and cosmetics aside some are quite palatable. [...]

I’ve been looking for a wife, but many speed dates, blind dates, unblind dates, and date with a small person who was under 4’ tall (I’m 6’2), I’m left with just this bottle of Riesling in my hand. …which now that [...]
