In January the devastation of Haiti’s capital dominated the news and many people gave donations to different organizations such as the Red Cross and Catholic Relief Services to help those who were homeless, lacking medical care and food. This was an urgent situation and many people were in great need. Numerous people around the world […]

Suggestions for Wine Lovers When Visiting Las Vegas

February 9, 2010 – 8:32 am

This week due to the weather conditions I just can’t recommend visiting the east coast area of the US for wineries soon. Do make plans to visit the area wineries when the weather is a bit better. Our street was finally plowed yesterday and sidewalks have not been touched. We had plans to visit a […]

Wine in Scotland

February 8, 2010 – 8:51 am

There are wineries in England, a few in Wales and a vineyard has been planted in Scotland next to the Ardeonaig Hotel and Restaurant. According to the Daily Record, Chef Pete Gottgens planted Riesling vines four years ago. If the weather this summer cooperates he will make a Riesling wine. The article was complimentary until […]

Recipes for Super Bowl and Snowpocalypse that Use Wine as an Ingredient

February 7, 2010 – 9:15 am

In Maryland we are buried under two to three feet of snow. I have a lot of shoveling to do to reach the street that isn’t plowed yet. Since it will take a couple of days, I won’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. Cooking with a slow cooker is perfect. […]

Hunker Down with Wine and Food

February 6, 2010 – 9:17 am

We have been told to hunker down and wait. I expect our street won’t see a plow until tomorrow if then. With ten more inches of snow to fall we probably won’t shovel the 300 foot driveway until tomorrow at the earliest. So the time affords an opportunity to cook with wine. The very first […]

7:30 am Buried

February 6, 2010 – 7:34 am

The 14 1/2″ wine bottle is completely buried. I didn’t post a picture, just look at a blank sheet of white paper. However the picture below is a photo of the top cordon of a grape vine. This is the most snow that has blanketed the vines.

8:00 pm About Half Covered

February 5, 2010 – 8:13 pm

The snow has covered about half of the 14 1/2″ wine bottle. It is now falling at a rate of about one inch an hour. It’s days like today that I wish I was visiting wineries in New Zealand.

5:15 pm Up a Couple More Inches

February 5, 2010 – 5:29 pm

The snow continues and is now sticking to everything including people. Soon, I’ll have to start removing it so I can get to the wood pile that helps to keep the house around 70º. As daylight fades you notice an artscape that can only be painted by nature. The grapevines have a one-inch blanket on […]

3:45 pm EST Accumulation on Ground

February 5, 2010 – 3:49 pm

The snow’s intensity for the last three hours has increased. It is now sticking to trees, shrubs, wine bottles and wine glasses. Compare the two photos. The few pieces of grass are now covered and the bottom one inch of the label is covered.  Luckily, here in Howard County the snow is not sticking to roads […]
