I forgot to post a link to my column last week. I did an article about Witbier, the little Belgium gem, and it’s rightful place beside NW oysters.
White Bread in a Glass, in the Seattle Weekly
In this week’s column, I give a few sure thing pairings for wine and cheese. Not to imply that you […]

You never heard of it? Yeah, you’re not the only one. It’s funny, Wine X is getting more press in death than it ever did during its publication. Decanter has a nice round up on the situation. (You can read more of my comments if you scroll down the page.) Basically, Wine X Magazine spent […]

So, I’ll be a guest on KUOW’s Weekday with Steve Scher this Thursday, along with the Weekly’s Jonathan Kauffman, talking about taco trucks in the 10am to 11 am hour. This is a super happy fun day for me, as I am a complete NPR nerd, and I listen to the program religiously (I loves […]
