Wine

I am a frequent customer of Lot18, and this is part of the reason I love it so much: Lot18 is a wine store.  Occasionally, they give you promotional credit.  This promotional credit applies to shipping.  So, whenever I get some promotional credit, I make sure to use it rather than …

I’ve placed wine in my checked luggage using the wine diaper.  I even tried pouring an entire bottle out, and my luggage was unscathed. But what about transporting a case of wine?  I found a cheap way of doing it with some items intended to help with moving.  While it …

I mentioned before I was taking fifteen bottles of wine to Tiff and trying to figure out what to do with the remaining 3.  I solved this problem with the JetBag and kept my clothing safe from leaks. I tried ordering the wine check and couldn’t wait for it to …

This is what happens when you give someone who wanted to be a film documentary producer at the age of 8 a video camera.  I’ve tried to capture people’s thoughts on the bottles they brought, as well as on the other champagnes.  Here are Keri’s thoughts.  My video editing skills …

Here’s a link to get you free credit to OpenSky today! I joined this shopping website called OpenSky.  The concept is basically Pinterest-like in that you are “following” different celebrities who have a feed of items they suggest you should purchase.  I (strongly) doubt the celebrities are choosing the items …

Keri described my love for Grgich Hill’s Violetta during our trip to Napa in February.  When you have a bottle of wine you are looking forward to, great food really can add to the experience. Dessert wine is tricky though.  Violetta is described as having ripe white peach and orange …
