Everything Comes With A Cost (Besides Just Monetary)

As our journey together on this blog draws close to its conclusion, I need to take a moment to be somber. Everything comes at a price. Although wine is truly God's sweet nectar, like all types of alcohol, it has negative effects. According to WebMD (aka the website that has at times led me to …

SLAP THAT -Fill in the blank-

WINE BAG! "Slap that wine bag!" is probably a phrase I have heard over a dozen times every year at some stupid, frat party. I think the first time I had wine was actually out of a wine bag. Now that I have upgraded to somewhat nicer wines, I forgot all about wine bags/boxed wines …

You Can Taste Wine Somewhere Besides Your Couch And Favorite Fancy Restaurant!

If you are a female who loves wine or has wine loving friends, you will inevitably succumb to a trip to a winery. And if you are a male, you too will inevitably succumb to taking a trip to a winery (although you probably will not be as willing or eager). Here is everything you …

Wine Can Be Dry? Aren’t Liquids Are Supposed To Be Wet?!

My rating scale for wines used to be simply put as either "sweet and good" or "bitter and nasty". I know now that there is a more sophisticated way to rate a wine's sweetness. Instead of using bitter/nasty, the correct term is dry, and I no longer find dry wines to be unappealing. I actually prefer them, …

Looks Do NOT Get Better With Age, But At Least Wine Does

My blog title says it all. If only we women could age like wine. Well actually Asian women can age quite well, but it is like you're good, good, good and then BAM! you turn into a wrinkly old raisin looking granny. (But maybe I am just biased because of my own ethnicity). Anyways, to …

You Can’t Drink Wine In A Red Solo Cup!!!

Okay so there is no law or rule that explicitly states "Thou shall not drink wine from a red cup!", but there should be! It is time to leave our college party days behind us. Now is the time to enter adulthood (for me at least) and pretend like I actually have the patience and …

A Different Type of Wine Opener For Each Type of Wine

I'm just kidding! All wine bottles can be opened with any type of wine opener. However, just as there are many different types of wine, there are also many types of wine openers for them. Below is a list of a few of my recommended ones! Most of us are most familiar with the twist …

How Being Stranded On An Island With Only A Bottle Of Wine And A Shoe Wouldn’t Be So Bad

Besides socks and car keys, I think the wine opener is the third on the list of "Things That Always Go Missing When I Need It The Most". One time I was so desperate to open a bottle of wine that I seriously contemplated smashing the top just to crack it open. Thank god for …

Keeping It Simple: Wine & Food Pairings

Sometimes I like to just sit on the couch, binge watch a Netflix show and casually sip on wine. However, most of the time I prefer having something to eat with my wine. There are no real rules, just preferences and what type of food highlights certain wines. The wine and food pairing combinations are …

My Favorite Wine of the Month (And You Better Not Judge Me For It)

When I first started drinking wine, I could NOT stand red wine. I have always hated grape flavored things. I legit used to chuck all my grape flavored candy at my friends after every Halloween trick-or-treating. Maybe this is why I started off with white wine. Either that or it is just because I am a …
