- My GILTy Holiday Addiction by Lauren Buzzeo1 December 2011, 5:46 pm
Many women (and some men) already know about the members-only designer and luxury flash sale site appropriately called Gilt. I confess I was a huge fan of the concept, especially when it was launched in 2007, but my obsession slightly dwindled when I finally came to the realization that my closet was bursting with garments [...]... - Wine Show Highs and Lows by Joe Czerwinski29 November 2011, 5:24 pm
That's me, digging into the Pinot Noir class. Senior Judge Cameron Douglas, MS, and Associate Judge Emma Jenkins, MW, are in the background. For years, I’ve resisted commenting on wine shows. I’ve read some of the online bashing, about how medals are given away like candy on Halloween; about how some show judges don’t know [...]... - Travels with Corkscrew by Tim Moriarty16 November 2011, 8:22 pm
When Jerry Seinfeld created his classic comedy series, he vowed that there would be “no learning, no hugging.” I thought about that when I foolishly volunteered to blog about my summer travels and what I “learned” on the road. I think of travel as a process of discovery; learning is absorbed gradually; connections and insights [...]... - Gifting Outside the Box by Lauren Buzzeo27 October 2011, 9:27 pm
The holidays are undoubtedly a special time of year. What other time do you spend thinking about the cherished people in your life, thoughtfully planning out the best presents to get them, until you get so frustrated and/or annoyed that people seemingly already have everything and conclude there’s nothing you can give that they don’t [...]... - Here’s to Better Beer by Lauren Buzzeo22 September 2011, 7:21 pm
Statistics released last week by the Beverage Information Group indicate that overall beer consumption in the U.S. is down, as it has been trending over the past few years.

Recently I tried something delightfully unique: Moët & Chandon’s new “Ice Imperial” Champagne. Ice Imperial is a traditional Champagne (a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay) with a bit of extra dosage. The extra sweetness lends itself well to being supremely chilled. As such, it is meant to be served over ice. It [...]... - Great Summertime Reds by Joe Czerwinski21 June 2011, 7:36 pm
During summer’s hottest months, it’s tempting to stick to whites and rosés. Even the most insipid examples can be chilled to within a few degrees of freezing and provide simple icy refreshment. But many reds are fated to be left slumbering in the cellar, waiting for cool temperatures to return, and rightfully so. The mere idea of [...]... - Care for Some Joie de Vivre? by Lauren Buzzeo2 June 2011, 7:43 pm
This Monday, June 6th, marks the launch of the Sud de France Festival in New York.

We can’t live on liquor alone, but we can have the best of both worlds by pairing it with food—and the most glorious pairing? Spirits and cheese, of course. It can make for some surprising and mind blowing combinations. The goal when pairing spirits and cheese isn’t to be stringent about complementary flavors. Rather, take [...]...
