Don’t Turn Down a Chance to Help at a Winery

January 30, 2010 – 9:43 am

Yesterday we spent a couple of hours at Tin Lizzie Wineworks helping, winemaker, Dave Zuchero organizing and cleaning. Other than being a very cold day, as long as one stayed inside and moved, we were okay. The camaraderie that exists when working on a common goal is delightful. We asked questions and learned more from […]

December 16, 2009 – 10:35 am

Recently while visiting family and friends out of state, we had the opportunity to enjoy a wine from Napa Valley. Our host chose a wine from Regusci Winery. This was a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Angelo’s Vineyard. The sommelier commented that this wine was in limited production. Only 794 cases were produced. I usually enjoy a […]

Winery Newsletters

June 24, 2009 – 8:58 am

I enjoy receiving newsletters from wineries. Some are better than others but they all let readers know what’s happening at a particular time of the year at their winery. Some go above and beyond by also including recipes, wine information and dramatic photos. One of my favorite winery newsletters is from Messina Hof Winery & […]

What is Your Idea of a Winery?

June 13, 2009 – 9:07 am

After visiting 400 wineries in the US, Canada, Italy and England, we have discovered each one is unique. Ultimately it brings about the question, just what is a winery? In general, a winery is a place that produces wine. This is so general it leaves many questions. To be a “real” winery, does a winery […]

Old Winery Buildings

June 11, 2009 – 9:16 am

I love old buildings. It never ceases to amaze me that what appears to be a perfectly good building can be ripped down and replaced with a new building. At times that can be a good thing, especially if the building was poorly constructed in the first place. However, buildings built 30 years ago shouldn’t […]

Laurello Vineyards

June 4, 2009 – 8:31 am

An email from Laurello Vineyards in Ohio today reminded me that summer is not really here yet according to the calendar and the temperature. After winter’s unseasonably cold temperatures, I am already determined not to complain about the summer heat at home or at wineries. However, the email suggested that anyone attending Laurello’s Friday and Saturday evening outdoor […]

Handcrafted and with 16.5 percent alcohol, this Syrah wine is spicy and fruity overall. The aroma was spicy and sweet. With a zero percent […]

Recession Proof your Wine

May 19, 2009 – 7:30 am

This cooler than average spring is coming on the heels of a cooler than average winter in the Baltimore area of Maryland. This provides ideal temperature growing conditions for the potatoes I planted the first week of April. Assuming that I get a modest two pounds per hill, with the fifty hills of potatoes I […]
