We just had a Thanksgiving edition one so I’ll keep this (sort of) short of sweet. Here were my fave tagged pics last month: Haven’t ever had this wine but have heard it’s great, and here was further proof: Kerin, love the pic but hate the hashtag! You need to become a Giants fan, despite … Continue reading

Tawny port with roasted nuts is absolute perfection. It’s often described as having a roasted almond flavor, so pair it up with some actual roasted almonds and you can imagine how awesome it is. Throw in a fig or two, and you’re good for lots of end of meal happiness. Keep the tags coming @grapefriend … Continue reading

What do you drink when you’re out and just grabbing a glass? Everyone has their go-to’s. I know people who don’t even look at the wine list and just order “Pinot Noir” or “Sauvignon Blanc” – something that drives me crazy and was part of the reason I started this whole blog.
