I’ve been diving back into my own wines lately. You would too if you saw the state my basement is in. It’s actually quite frightening as there are boxes everywhere, wine spilling out of them, and absolutely no room on the racks, even though I just bought another 112 bottle storage rack. So this evening [...]

We actually dug into our own wines the other night…it’s been a while and trust me, with my club shipments back on for the season, it’s been piling up like there’s no tomorrow. All of our wine racks are totally full, as well as at least 9 styrofoam shipper bottoms and a good 4 cases [...]

Affectionately referred to as the ‘ho, I’m really talking about the 2007 Twisted Oak Verdelho. I love this wine…everything about it…the price, what’s in the bottle, yum! I’ve reviewed the 2006 and the 2005 in previous years. This latest bottle arrived in my Twisted Few Club shipment and retails for $16, but at the club [...]

My entry for Take Your Chicken to Work Week 2009 is considerably shorter than my entry last year. It’s been damn cold here these past weeks, including a couple days of snow and freezing rain, so my chicken Bob didn’t get the pleasure of seeing the sites of DC this year. Plus, the theme this [...]

He was really excited to participate in TYRCTWW this year and proved it by taking 72 pictures of his chicken!! He even got his customers in on it, and everyone wanted to be in the pictures. My Dad [...]

Or wine with breakfast, whatever your poison. Our host for WBW this month is El Jefe of Twisted Oak. He’s asked everyone to choose a wine that goes with breakfast for this WBW, with the caveat that you couldn’t choose a sweet white, a rose, or a sparkler. It had to be a dry white [...]
