• How to Celebrate Bastille Day? With French #Wine, Of course!

  

  Every year since 1880 the French celebrate La fête nationale, or French National Day, on July 14. The day is to commemorate both the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, and the Fête de la Fédération on July 14, 1790. English speaking countries recognize July 14th as France’s Bastille Day.

• Rockin Alsace Riesling with #Winophiles

  

  When you were a kid did you enjoy playing tug-of-war? I remember at times enjoying this game and other times disliking it. I loved being paired with a bunch of strong kids and winning the match. I especially loved it when it was girls against boys and the girls won. However, I also recall receiving…

• Iconic Winery Retrospective: Maison Trimbach

  

  Is Stuart Pigott correct when he claims in his book Best White Wine on Earth, that Riesling is the best white wine on earth? It may not be the best but it is certainly high up on the list.

• Beat the Summer Heat with Delicious Food & Wine

  

  I don’t know about you but things have certainly heated up in Dallas this August. Gone are the days of endless rain; we are in full-fledged heat and humidity. During this time of year I like to eat light, clean foods paired with crisp, refreshing wine. Additionally, the hot Texas summer offers a perfect time…

• Happy Anniversary Baby

  In early September I suggested an anniversary plan to my husband that he accepted. Rather than exchanging material gifts what I wanted most was quality time with him, so I suggested we head down to Pogo’s (one of our favorite Dallas wine retailers!) to buy a really good bottle of Bordeaux or Châteauneuf-du-Pape and I…

• Spending the Summer of Riesling in Alsace

  The last time I participated in #Winechat was in May when we were exploring the wonderful wines of Cairdean Estate. (Click here for review) I was looking forward to once again joining the conversation, especially with a lovely Riesling from Alsace.  #Winechat is hosted by Protocol Wine Studio. It is an hour long educational wine…
