If you drink too much one night, wine can certainly be your own personal Highway to Hell. Now AC/DC thinks so too! They’re teaming up with an Aussie winery, Warburn Estate, and getting grapes from the Barossa and Coonawarra regions. They’re making Back in Black Shiraz, You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato, Highway to … Continue reading

dallas most eligible wine
It’s official. I will literally watch anything on Bravo. I thought it couldn’t get worse than Miami Social, but last night along came Dallas Most Eligible. It was quite bad, but I did like that many people were drinking wine. My favorite scene was when Tara sits down with the Ferrari guy whose name I … Continue reading
rushing the greek system
The strongest memory I have of Greek wine is when I was doing a summer share in the Hamptons years ago and we all went to a fun but cheap Greek restaurant where they only served really bad Greek wine. We got a bottle – I think it was Retsina but can’t even remember. It … Continue reading
beyond everything
In my ideal world, from now on I wouldn’t drink any wine younger than I am. This was top 3 on my list of Best Wines Ever. Words can almost not describe, but I was an English/Creative Writing major so I have to attempt. The smoothest wine I’ve ever had. Can’t even put into a … Continue reading

I got one the other night at this place Bluebird in Chicago and it’s really unique and you should check it out. It’s made in the Basque part of Spain, which is in the north right off the ocean. … Continue reading
i completely lied
I lied. I’m at La Bottega and I’m not drinking Pinot Grigio. This Verdicchio, however, smells a lot better than it tastes. Why put up with Italian whites. Except Kerner. And Kanye isn’t here. Continue reading
ryan gosling – he’s just like wine!
This is a very exciting edition of “stars – they’re just like wine!” because it stemmed from a request! I had to do the reverse, where I wasn’t thinking of what star was like a wine but what wine was like a star – in this case, Ryan Gosling. I’m actually not obsessed with him … Continue reading

grigio griping
OK. I give up. If I hear about one more person drinking Pinot Grigio my head will fall off. That’s because I keep shaking it wondering WHY when there are SO MANY OTHER white wines out there, WHY you would choose this one!!! The latest offender? Kanye West. He was apparently at La Bottega the … Continue reading
