This month’s wine writing challenge is Epiphany, as selected by last month’s winner John, The Wine Raconteur. The first thing that came to mind was The Burgundy. But I feel quite certain you are sick of hearing about it….so, I thought I’d be bold and try something else. The second best thing about working in … Continue reading MWWC #17: Epiphany
What would a birthday trip be without a special birthday dinner? Granted this one was a lot more low key than the first one. It was equally as memorable–this time for the food–nor did I get drenched! First stop: dinner! at a swanky seafood and steak house in St. Paul called Kincaid’s. We started with Country … Continue reading Fabulous Not Forty Birthday Dinner #2
This month’s wine writing challenge, Success, was selected by my BFF (that would be blogger friend forever), Loie of CheapWineCurious, as a result of winning last month’s challenge. I would like to interject that the BFF title was self-appointed by me. I’m sure Loie is currently reaching for her phone to send my information to all … Continue reading Success.

I can’t beeeeelieve I haven’t posted this yet… Continue reading Sunday Comics #12
For this week’s TT, I thought I would share an email my Dad sent last week (and very appropriate for TT!): Interview with 101 year-old Hattie Mae MacDonald of Teague , Kentucky : Reporter: Can you give us some health tips for reaching the age of 101? Hattie: For better digestion I drink beer. In … Continue reading Thirsty Thursday #7
This Monthly Wine Writing Challenge (#12) theme is LOCAL. And I’m so thankful to The Drunken Cyclist for issuing a reminder, or rather letting everyone know that it’s not too late….because honestly, I thought it was too late! As I might have mentioned a time or thirty, I used to work at a wine shop … Continue reading Go Texan.
