Burgers and Beaujolais
July 27, 2011 By · 1 Comment
My litmus test when buying a new top or heels is “can I wear this with jeans?” I have a similar test for my red wines. “Will this taste good with a burger?” Yes, dear readers, I am quite the snooty sommelier! Last night, I hosted a WineTwits live tasting event: Burgers with a Side [...]

I lost my voice. If you know me, you know that’s like my personal hell. I talk all the time. From the minute I wake up, I’m processing stuff. And if anyone is near me, I’ll process all over them. I’ll talk about the strange dreams I had about broken windows and people trying to [...]
