Drugstore Wine, Screwcap Corkscrew, Chinese Merlot
There were no smiles, just puzzled, furrowed brows. Except for mine, of course. I had a barely-contained evil grin.
Pinirvana (That’s Pinot Nirvana)
The finish was exquisite, lengthy, and sensual, which gave me a “moment” which the men around me immediately noticed.
Big Dog’s Food and Beer Pairing Tapping Party
If you come into this bar to cheer for the other team, you do so at your own peril.
California Pizza Kitchen – Good Food, Good Wine, Good Cause
It’s a stick of butter disguised as a cake. It’s so good. So rich. I felt my thighs fluff and my arteries harden from just one bite.

Atascadero Wine Trail
If they make it rich, then kudos. If they don’t, I can imagine that they would continue to make wine until the very end.
Grocery Stores & Box Wines – Part 2
I will write more on box wines after the Vegas Wineaux Wine Club box wine tasting next month. (insert evil gleeful cackle here)
