The title of this pic is “Worried Girl,” and that’s what I am right now, so it seems the appropriate image to use for this post. I planned to post my review of Catch Restaurant tonight, but some things came up today with my Dad still being in the hospital, and I didn’t manage to get it [...]

Chateau de Segries Tavel Rosé 2008, oh glorious Tavel Rosé!
I saved the best in our three-part Rosé series for last. This Rosé is a bit pricier than the previous two, but worth it, and I’ll tell you why.
Tavel is a wine region in France (part of the southern Rhone region across the Rhône River from Châteauneuf-du-Pape [...]

Hello dear readers, who I love enormously.
It’s Wednesday, so it’s time to delve into our favorite newspaper food section, today’s NY Times Dining and Wine section, and see what we can find. Some Wednesdays, there’s not one thing in there that piques my interest, but today’s section was lousy with interesting reads.
First up, a gossipy piece on [...]

“Where’d all those songs come from?”
“Life, unfortunately.”
What does the movie “Crazy Heart” have to do with food or wine or eating/drinking/cooking, and why am I writing about it on this blog, you may ask? Well, I’ll tell you. For one thing, there is a lot of drinking in this movie, as you can probably gather [...]

So.
It’s 10:00 p.m.- ish, and I just spent the last 30 minutes reading the long list of food and wine blogs in my “Favorites” folder, hoping for the creative lightning bolt to strike, giving me some kind of inspiration for a post.

I follow a great blog called Benito’s Wine Reviews (you’ve been seeing the link to it over there in my Blogroll for a couple months now), written by one Benjamin Carter, aka Benito, from the great state of Tennessee; Memphis, TN, to be exact. You will find links on Benito’s blog to lots of other Southern [...]

I just read an inspiring free report online that I want to share. And the reason I want to share it is because after reading it, I got really, really excited all over again about the things I am doing in my own life that follow the precepts of this report. See, it’s all about [...]
