An Escape to Europe: Affordable European Wines for Summertime
*Sidenote* My apologies *AGAIN* for disappearing. Life is crazy. Life is good. Life is making me BACKLOGGED! Recently, I was able to attend a tasting with some affordable Italian, Croatian, and Macedonian wines. And when I say affordable, I mean under $20/bottle retail, for the most part.

WBC Day 2, part 2 – Speed Dating Part II
Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m waaaaaaaaaay behind on this. Between craziness at work (helllloooo mandatory overtime…and no, I don’t work in retail!!), being sick for god only knows how long (the bug overstayed it’s welcome) and in light of the events in recent weeks (if you’re not familiar with what’s happened, google “Clackamas mall shooting” […]

Defining Value…
Recently, in my real life job, this question was posed… “What do you spend way too much money on?” Without skipping a single beat, I answered, “Wine.” That garnered a funny look for a split second from the trainer who posed that question, but he rolled with it. “Okay. I can see it. You appreciate […]
