J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is a pale, youthful, straw yellow color with a complex aroma of grapefruit, dried flowers, gun flint and faint herbaceous freshness. On the palate, the wine has excellent weight and bright acidity with clean fruit flavors reminiscent of the aromas. S

Admit it, yes you wine aficienados...you do not look at the price tags of wine...okay you are all liars, in this economy I look at the price of everything even at the dollar store where everything is a dollar.
So you can imagine that $9 bottle of red table wine I bought that I thought would be great to add to spagehetti sauce but, you never made said sauce.
Well, don't be too shocked, it was a FABULOUS bottle of wine rubber cork and all!
Yes I said

Very recently some proposed they would make plum wine at home.
I don't know why I am not familiar with the Portugese way of making plum wine but, I nearly bolted out a "Hell, no" at the mere remention of this somewhat curious talent the person wanted to share with me.
I admit my wine snobbery goes as far as "if you don't go to Fermentation Solutions and carve out a part of your home into a distillery or you don't have wine grapes growing already...don't say you c

I believe that it is okay to celebrate or let people know you like wine. What I apparently forgot that sometimes my boss will read about my love for wine. My sister will read it and a few innocent, well meaning people will read it and....make assumptions.
Hence, I got a job, I don't drink wine at my job and my job doesn't involve wine but I didn't stop drinking wine and I do not drink wine because of my job.
Yet, I got this little reminder the other day about my

On one of my trips to the Disney Food and Wine Festival I noticed on the schedule a wine and cheese pairing. Being a lover of cheese I was intrigued, even more so when wine is involved.
Standing in lining for about 45 minutes, just to get the tickets I began to wonder if the cheese was worth my time. Once the ticket was purchased and allowed in to sit down we find 3 pieces of cheeses and 3 wines.
Well, my attitude changed when our presenter began to tell her story. Barri
