Happy Easter to those celebrating today. I love Easter and was looking to buy Peeps this morning but could only find pink ones. I can't abide pink food unless it is strawberry ice cream so no peeps for me. What to pair with peeps and an Easter brunch? Moscato is actually the only wine that... Continue Reading →
For breakfast this past Saturday, a group of fortunate bloggers and I had wines from Brazil. While it certainly doesn't sound like an onerous task, at times it can be if you have to taste very heavy wines. Luckily, none of the wines we tasted were too heavy although all the wineries were proponents of... Continue Reading →
Today's post will be brief because I don't have a lot of information on this grape variety. This red grape variety hails from Calabria, a region that I have become intensely interested in over the course of the past year. It can be made into a mono-varietal wine or can be used as a blending... Continue Reading →
Happy Passover to those who celebrate this holiday. Each year I try to bring a kosher wine to the Passover Seder and in the last years, it seems to be the same Italian winery that provides my kosher wine, Terra di Seta.

This wine Wednesday I am compelled to write about a Turkish wine that I had recently at a local neighborhood restaurant, Turkuaz, in New York City. I like Turkish food but the reason I went this time was for the belly dancing, oddly enough. I just started a class on belly dancing and have been... Continue Reading →
I am jumping out of my skin today. Partly because it's snowing, it should be spring and because I am participating in the New York Half Marathon tomorrow. No I am not running, I am walking it as part of Team in Training's team that raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). The... Continue Reading →
Habemus Papem. Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires is the new Pope. He will be called Pope Francis I. I know, I am neither Catholic nor Italian nor in this case, Argentine but I do believe that the Pope matters and this choice seems interesting to me. He is the first Latin American to...
