It can be really hard to tell if the Winemaker has had too much to drink.

But then again... Every wine does tell a story. In France they know all about it because they have been doing it for a really long time.

Hey Kathy...can you do a blog on the 25 year old weed in Schenectady? I want to know if it ages like wine does. I hear '85 was a good year.

Hello, Kathleen. Thanks for adding me! I enjoy wine, especially Pinot Noir. I would love to try any wines you suggest from New York, since I was born and raised here. Im sure you know of several which would be wonderful. Thanks again!

Yummy! My fav pairing for a dessert is a Late Harvest Zin or a Port with a semi-sweet or dark chocolate! It's fun to do a chocolate that comes in a jar, place a small amount in cute lil' dishes and serve with cute lil' salt spoons. Take a spoonful of chocolate, then pair it with your fav. port or late harvest zin. It's wonderful! Have fun at your party, and enjoy! What's your fav. pairing for dessert? Give me some new ideas!

Oh No! I can't actually DRINK the wine! My daddy still thinks I'm his little girl.

Thanks for the add.

In the video you have on this page, you seem to be *talking about* drinking wine. Instead, I'd prefer to see you actually drink it rather than just talk about it!

I didn't realize that Californians, Jack, in particular, discriminated against non-Californians. I guess my short-shorts made me an honorary Californian, cause I scored me 3 Jack heads the day I wore those puppies. Hot!

Pop Quiz. When I walk into Jack in the Box am I there for the a: yummy food, b: the fabulous customer service or c: the Jack antenna ball? Yeah, that would be c! So why the #!@$ did they not have any???
