Oh Oh Opolo!

opolo vineyard2

A couple of weeks ago I hosted the Tex & Fritz Wine Club and the Vegas Wineaux Wine Club for a special night of appetizers, cheeses, and Opolo wines.  While my intentions were stellar, the proverbial “best laid plans” kind of kicked in.  My beautifully planned five-year vertical … . . . → Read More Here: Oh Oh Opolo!

ANOTHER New Look??

Vegas Wineaux

While I really liked the new look I’d come up with before (and so did others – I was nominated for a Black Weblog Award!), it still didn’t do what I wanted to do. So I sat down to figure exactly what it was that I wanted. (If you’re easily bored with techy stuff, you can stop reading now) . . . → Read More Here: ANOTHER New Look??

Summer Wine, Summer Food and ThankYewVeryMuch

table setting for brunch

While recuperating from even relatively minor surgery is, by design, ridiculously boring, it’s necessary so that one can do stuff afterward. And because there’s a lot of stuff that I want to do, I’m following doctor’s orders to the “T.” Mostly. . . . → Read More Here: Summer Wine, Summer Food and ThankYewVeryMuch

Old Vegas, the Trop, UnWine, and Me

trop

I had learned about the wine event through Vegas4Locals, a company that keeps us locals up to date on events going on in town. I’m always looking for wine stuff, so this was a treat. At $25, the price was more than reasonable, especially for a Strip property. As soon as I strolled into the pool area, I knew I’d done the right thing. The venue was gorgeous. . . . → Read More Here: Old Vegas, the Trop, UnWine, and Me

Don't Know What I'm Doing - No Problem!

Hug Mourvedre

This wasn’t a one-time, in-one-sitting tasting. This turned out to be a three-day adventure for him and a nearly identical adventure for me. And most of it’s ’cause we don’t know everything we should know about Mourvèdre. But we do know just enough to be dangerous. . . . → Read More Here: Don’t Know What I’m Doing – No Problem!
