Wine & Spirits Give Good Party
A few days ago I was at the Wine & Spirits Hot Picks party here in Seattle, featuring 50 of the best deals in wine for under $25. Most were under $15. If you’re just starting to get the wine bug, this show is a must. In short: an impressive and diverse line up, many […]

A Few Of My Favorite Things…
Anymore, my favorite dinners happen at home. I’ve been on a comfort food streak like you wouldn’t believe. A good bar-b-que may be hard to find in Seattle, but not at my house.
1. Trappistes Rochefort 10 - No, not the 8. This beer goes to 11… percent. Rich, dark, figgy and nutty fruit, soft spice. […]

Hey! I Forgot to Tell You A Few Things…
Sorry, I forgot to tell you can’t buy Big House Red anymore. Or Cardinal Zin. Nope, none of that either. Bonny Doon sold off all inventory and grape contracts along with the brands to Underdog Wine Merchants.

Gawd, I Feed You… Don’t I?
YOU’RE writing asking why I’M not writing much on wine this summer. Answer: Cuz it’s hot. I’m drinking lots of beer and generally fucking off.

Beer! Big Gulps of Cold Draft Beer! At Home!
Oh, you didn’t know I knew about beer? Yeah, but I never set out to actually learn about the stuff. It’s just a decade of barnacled factoids adds up after a while is all. I may be writing about it a bit more in the future… Safe to say, just like wine, I like […]
