• The One Without a Title

  Date: 2010.01.08 | Category: Wine Club, television | Response: 0

  Tonight is wine club and this month we are tasting South American wines. One of the best parts about tonight is that the hostess has THE BIGGEST chick-lit book collection I’ve EVER seen! Oh Kate, I’m bringing my library book bag to check out some books.

  Tomorrow is yoga, a facial, probably the movies, and of course starting Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. I really need to get a Blu-Ray DVD player for the basement so I can be on the treadmill while I’m watching Starbuck duke it out with the cylons.

  I suppose I could stop at Best Buy on the way home. I’m sure it’d be less than another PS3.

  And speaking of the Playstation 3, I really need a DVD remote control for it. It just seems ridiculous to be controlling the DVD player using a joystick. Which, by the way, is in the shape cylon spaceship.

• Holiday Extravaganza

  Date: 2009.12.11 | Category: Wine Club | Response: 1

  Tonight is my wine club’s 4th Annual Holiday Extravaganza so I decided to look back to see what I had to say about the 2008 wines. NOTHING! I wrote nothing. How can this be? The last time I wrote about the December wines was in 2007, that night we compared expensive wines to the more affordable wines.

  Since I didn’t document last years wines at all, I decided to PRE-document this years selection. So, if you are attending wine club tonight I guess this is a heads-up.

  Here are a few facts about what was selected:

  • Number of bottles: 8
  • Whites: 4
  • Reds: 4
  • Continents represented: 3
  • Countries represented: 5
  • California: 3
  • Italy: 1
  • Washington: 1
  • Austria: 1
  • France: 1
  • Argentina: 1
  • Most economical (that’s a fancy way to say lowest price): $28.99
  • Biggest splurge: $69.99

  Here’s what is being served tonight:

  • Gaston Chiquet Champagne
  • Buty Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle, 2008
    
  • Setzer Riesling, 2007
  • Catena Alta Chardonnay, 2006
  • Corino Barolo, 2003
  • Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006
  • Talley Estate Pinot Noir, Arroyo Grande Valley, 2005
  • Howell Mountain Vineyard Beatty Ranch Zinfandel, 2005

  All of the wine were chosen by Ben at Waterford Wine Co., who we rely on each December. Thank you Ben!
