Rather than traditional wine writing notes, I decided to write haiku, a form of verse that requires one to count syllables. The first and third lines contain five syllables each while the second line contains […]

Evening Dinner Wines FAM Day 1

January 29, 2012 – 2:15 am

I recall the advice from Eric Asimov at the 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference in Virginia. Mr. Asimov suggested that wine writers change the way they write about wine.

Vacation Over

Wine from Casale Marchese at Rome Cavalieri

January 27, 2012 – 1:02 am

After walking and walking and more walking today, we decided to take a taxi back to the hotel. Staying at the Rome Cavalleri definitely has its highlights. One of the hotel restaurants is located on level -1. Terry thought that using the numeral -1 on the elevator was great. The numbers actually started at -2, […]

Across the Pond

January 25, 2012 – 4:51 am

We landed in Rome early this morning watching a beautiful sunrise from onboard the United flight we took from Dulles. Our flight was restful. I am a believer in acquiring airline miles and hotel honor points. We flew to Italy in United’s first class. This allowed us to turn our seat into a bed and […]
