I LOVE Prosecco and Bebé Prosecco by Siema Wines is one of my favorites! It's fruit and floral aroma are followed by green apple and tropical flavor with a crisp refreshing acidity. Just popped open a bottle to celebrate this last weekend of summer :) Baby Prosecco, or Bebé meaning young in Italian, is from the vineyards [...]
Yesterday was the 2nd annual #Cabernet Day, virtual wine tasting event + some live events hosted in a few cities. While I typically wouldn't be drinking red wine yet (I like reds when its cold outside and/or I'm eating Italian), I jumped on the bandwagon, got out a few Cabs from my wine rack and [...]
This growing season's crazy weather conditions with extreme frosts, early summers and no summers have created quite a mixed bag for wine region harvests from California to Champagne to Chianti. Many spots in Europe are already half way through their harvest creating the earliest harvest season many can remember. Reports from Greece last week showed [...]
Yesterday at this great little Alexandria, Virginia neighborhood cheese & wine bar / specialty cheese shop, Cheesetique, I saw the biggest display of 'box wines' I've seen (other than the grocery store display of Franzia types). Being in a specialty shop I assume they are relatively good but wondering if anyone's tried them. Yellow + [...]

As as wine lover, I enjoy doing wine tastings and learning more to 'hone my palette.' Whatever that means!?! ;) I have two great wine tasting kits at home I've often used on my own and with friends to do wine tastings. They're full of scents and we experiment to see what smell and taste [...]
Saturday I participated in my second hour of 'live wine blogging' as part of the fourth annual North America Wine Bloggers Conference. After Friday's round one on whites/rosés, my first ever live blogging, I was ready for round two! It's like speed dating...you stay at one table and 12 wineries come by your table for five [...]
Friday I participated in my first live wine blogging as part of the Wine Bloggers Conference. One BUSY hour at a table where 12 wineries come one by one for five minutes each to introduce you to one of their wines while you tweet/blog...like speed dating. Here were my tweets with highlights of the session... [...]
