- New Orleans State of Mind
Fri, 09 Sep 2005 02:40:03 +0000
For about nine years, the 50-mile stretch of road from Destin to Pensacola was my home. I went to high school and college there. The culture, night-life, and cuisine of New Orleans or ‘N’Awlins’ was a three hour drive away and I made that trip mulitple times monthly while attending college. As [...] - Hurricane Katrina disaster relief

I had an errant checkbox checked on my spam blocking software causing a lot of reader/listener comments to get deleted. These problems have been fixed and I apologize. Please, gab away! - A Wine and Food Experience
Wed, 15 Jun 2005 23:20:14 +0000
The title of ‘Wine Tasting’ was a bit misleading. What Casa Ludovico held was a cuisine and wine experience. Most wine tastings are pretty similar. I expected an array of five or six wines, a few plates of bread and crackers, a bunch of people standing around talking quietly among themselves while [...] - Wine Tasting at Casa Ludovico

Tomorrow (6/14/2005) a local Italian restaurant is having a wine tasting. I will be there to see what they have to offer. I believe there will be some more affordable wines involved although I know a few of the offerings will be rather expensive but I am hoping to find some values. [...] - Bogle 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
Sun, 05 Jun 2005 10:20:47 +0000
Bogle has a reputation for high quality wines at affordable prices. The Bogle 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. Made in the fruit forward ‘New World’ style, this wine offers a bright bouquet of cherries plumbs and black pepper on the nose. As the first taste fills your mouth, you get [...] - Everyday Wine, Once a Year Honors
Thu, 26 May 2005 11:51:31 +0000
Andrea Immer’s book Everyday Dining with Wine which I suggested in a previous post was mentioned in an article in the St. Petersburg Times. It appears that the International Association of Culinary Professionals agreed with me on the value of Immer’s book awarding her the IACP Major Honor for the wine, beer or spirits [...] - Like His Films, Coppola?s Wine Worthy of Awards

I have an immense weakness for good blends. My favorite high-end wines come from Chateauneuf du Pape in the southern Rhone River Valley where the French government allows as many as 13 varietals to be included in the wines. I feel that artfully blending a wine in such a way that all [...] - Kings Estate Pinot Gris 2002
Tue, 17 May 2005 18:13:39 +0000
This is one of my favorites. Kings Estate Pinot Gris has long been my favorite casual drinking white wine and I am very happy to say that at $13 a bottle it is easy on the cash flow. Served nice and cold, it’s lively acidity springs forth at first taste - bursting with [...] - Supreme Court Rules!
Mon, 16 May 2005 11:32:50 +0000
I grabbed the link to the full article on CNN.com about the ruling by the Supreme Court declaring laws banning interstate wine shipping unconstitutional! It is a great day for wine lovers! Read the Article - The Supreme Court Rules!
Mon, 16 May 2005 09:38:26 +0000
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:10 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states may not pass laws blocking outside wineries from shipping directly to customers. The 5-4 decision strikes down laws in New York and Michigan that make it a crime to buy wine directly from vineyards in another state. In all, [...] - More RSS issues

Well, I’ve changed the show format to include my brother-in-law Mark. We do another podcast together about football called The Field Position and we have such a good time doing that one, I thought we’d enjoy doing this one as a team. Mark is a wine geek as well and I hope our [...] - Podcast Delayed
Tue, 12 Apr 2005 12:06:46 +0000
Sorry for the delay on the next podcast. I wasn’t having fun with the wine label sequel and I felt you could hear it in the cast so I am not going to publish it. I didn’t like the tone of voice I tended to get while talking about the subject. I [...] - Turner Road Cabernet Sauvignon - 2003
Wed, 06 Apr 2005 07:15:52 +0000
At $11 a bottle, this California wine represents the ‘New World’ style of Cabernet with a flourish. The price tag makes it an easy dinner companion. It is fruitier than I generally like my cabernets. The tannins are very ripe and soft - which means that there is not much of a [...] - Supreme Court Bans Interstate Wine Shipping
Sun, 03 Apr 2005 08:58:43 +0000
Supreme Court Makes Interstate Wine Clubs Illegal. Happy Governor gives civil rights the finger saying "F**k the f**king Constitution ... All you whiny ass liberals need to realize that the constitution doesn't mean squat. The only thing that is important is who sits behind the governor's desk ... I'm the governor. You know what that means? It means what I say goes. Hell, screw the legislature. If they won't pass the bill, I'll just use an executive order to get my way. And while I'm at it, I'm going to order the State Police to search every legislator's home. If the police find alcohol there, those legislators better be able to produce a receipt to prove they bought it at their local Kroger and not outside Indiana." Be proud and vote Indiana. I feel for you. - Toad Hollow?s Mystery Wine
Fri, 01 Apr 2005 23:33:35 +0000

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 00:14:12 +0000
For those who celebrate Easter with a feast, wine is incredible with any meal that has traditionally been served on this holiday. Easter is known for rack of lamb or a huge baked, spiral cut ham. Some enjoy a hefty afternoon brunch. If you are having friends over to eat or just want to enjoy the meal with your companion, may I suggest the wine? - RSS Problem Resolved
