Larry marathon today at my place! Oh man, Burn Notice, how I adore thee. Let me count the ways ( Read more... )

I went Spanish wine tasting today (shocking, right?) and tasted some lovely lovely things--for free! I splurged on a 10 year old bottle of red (since the 20 was just a bit out of my price range...) and of course brought home a white rioja (7 year old, very oxidized and actually reminds me a little of a nice red, rather than a white). These both ( Read more... )

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!!! Today I will be wearing bright green and gold eyeshadow to go with my Packers sweatshirt, which is the only gear I have. :-( Last night I took myself out on a date to the Red Lobster for raspberry margaritas (these are divine!) and managed to hit a lovely pothole on Route 1 and blow out a tire, which meant ( Read more... )

Two wines to report on, both Spanish whites ( Read more... )

I don't have too much to say about wine right now because I've been drinking mostly tequila for the past week or so. Margaritas...yum. :-) Also, I am currently wearing (and obsessed with) Chanel's Black Pearl. If you love Chanel nail polish and don't mind splurging for it, this one is definitely a must. It's second only to Paradoxal for me right

Tonight I am foregoing wine in favor of milk and Haagen-Dazs coffee ice cream while I wait for a repeat of TVD...I may need an icon for that soon... It is a good night!

ETA: Digging through my old One Tree Hill stuff to find my Athlete album. What is up with the recycled music on TVD?

I am almost ashamed to report that I am still working my way through the Chardonnay. Only one glass to go I think, and then I have a box of Pinot Grigio (a Bota Box) all ready to go. More on that once I'm actually drinking it. This holiday season I have really been into Gluhwein and Amaretto, if only because it is much harder to get here in the US ( Read more... )

Well, it is now one month since I moved back to the US, and I think I can fairly solidly say that I have the blues about this. I am bored in my new job, I despise the east coast, and I am contemplating moving back to Europe. My mother recommended a good cry and some wine. It is fairly nice, for a Chardonnay:

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job. I gave notice THREE MONTHS ago, and the time dragged on until abruptly two weeks ago it started to fly by. I haven't even found the time to expound upon my love of all things Burn Notice, and Saturday I leave to see as much of eastern Europe as I can in just three weeks, before coming back, packing up my ( Read more... )

In the true spirit of summer, tonight I had wine out of a box. I am a big fan of wine out of a box. For one thing, you can keep a white for up to six months this way, and, at 5 liters at a pop, it's great for both a single glass or entertaining a group of people.

The white on offer this evening was French, and a little sweater that I typically like ( Read more... )
