2007 Iron Horse Chinese Cuvee Is The Toast of White House for V-Day Luncheon for Chinese VP
While the rest of us, mere mortals, were home or at work with our Valentine’s Day plans, Joy Sterling was in Washington D.C. – more specifically at the State Luncheon to welcome the Chinese Vice President. Thank you Joy Sterling for sharing your ‘insiders’ view of yesterday’s White House gala. We were thinking of you all day!
Here’s highlights from her email to Women & Wine today.
It was a great thrill being at the…
Thinking About Making Your Own Wine – Here’s A Personal Story from One of Our Women & Wine Fans
Several years ago my husband and I made a trip to Napa Valley with two of our good friends and were introduced to the Finkelstein family, owners of Judd’s Hill Winery. At the time they were located up on beautiful Howell Mountain. We had a lovely tasting and visit with the owners, Art and Bunny. We met Judd, their son and assistant winemaker at the time, and his lovely new bride Holly.

I have to level with you, before I researched wine glass shapes, I thought the whole thing was just a great marketing ploy. After my research… I can say that there is actually logic behind the concept. To check out the subject, I went to the web, Wikipedia, Riedel wine glass company, a five-star hotel and a bunch of wine-geek sites (light research at…
What Wine is Your Republican Candidate? A Quick Guide
Can’t keep all the Republican candidates straight?
Want an easy way to remember who is who in this crowded field? We thought we would have fun tagging them with wine varietals based on their personality and views so here goes (even though some abstain from alcohol).
Mitt Romney. Definitely an expensive Napa Valley Cabernet. With his well-coiffed hair and those movie star looks, we bet he has great legs too.
Ron Paul. He’s quirky and…
10 Favorite Songs With Wine Lyrics and Links to the Music Videos
My husband is always bugging me to make a playlist of songs that I love to listen to when I’m drinking/tasting wine. Not so simple, as depending on the time of day, the season, whether it’s with or without food, there’s always a song in my head when I’m drinking wine.
So this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see Kris Chislett from http://blogyourwine.com had done most of the work in creating this compilation of…
Need a Last Minute Gift for a Wine Lover on Father’s Day? Here’s 10 Tips On How You Can Help Organize Their Wine Storage
Now I’m not super picky about things being tidy and I have been known to possess an expired coupon or two. But I am insistent on wine storage being neat as a pin.
It all started back in 1994 when we were moving out of our first house. Next to the washer and dryer that were housed in our garage was a carton that looked worse for wear.
“What’s in this box?” I asked my…
A Mother’s Day Tribute to Non-Moms & Pet Moms
Mother’s Day is always a strange one for me as a Non-Mom – but I’m a Pet Mom too.
I try not to be upset that our dog Abby doesn’t know how to tie a bow on her own tail or feel too silly that I still coo and smile every time she wags. Oh, what a REAL mom I might have been!
On our http://facebook.com/womenwine page, we Raise a Glass many nights of the…
If you’ve been watching tv lately
If you’ve been watching tv lately, you can’t help but notice all of the scenes where the characters are now drinking wine. We love to shout them out here – and if we’ve missed your fav – tell us where you saw who drinking what – we’re dying to know.
White Collar Neal’s a sexy con-man and wine connoisseur to boot. He’s worked his way (masterfully I might add) into uber-A list parties using a…
