Sippin' Saint Louis: Back at it (again)
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2012/10/back-at-it-again.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. Back at it (again). Wow 10 months since my last post. Bad blogger, Kyle, bad blogger. Well, in case anyone has actually been checking in on this thing, here is the skinny on what has happened since my last post:. The Mrs is doing well- she retired from roller derby after the regular season was over, and is now working part time at Russell's Cafe in Fenton (if you haven't been, you need to go.). Until then, cheers, and drink something good! October 15, 2012 at 6:01 PM. I am a Mid...

Sippin' Saint Louis: January 2013
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. Happy New Year. How far into the year can one get away with saying that without sounding weird? My opinion is that the end of the first full week in January is it, no later. Or (assuming you still write the date on anything) as soon as you stop having to think about writing the 3 in 2013. I wonder why this is. Is it cost prohibitive? I wouldn't think so- you can get into decent Champagne for $40 per bottle. Are people intimidated by it? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a Mid-30'...

Sippin' Saint Louis: November 2010
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Can we just all agree to quit using the word? I realize this post sounds grumpier that it should. I'm actually in a really good mood today. I am just trying to figure out another adjective to describe the Dorm Room Dinner last night, prepared by Anthony Devoti from Five. The courses were well thought out, delicious tasting, and had a bit of whimsy that was fun to be part of. Was it Epic? No Was it Awesome? Monday, November 22, 2010. One of those weird weeks. If you want to pai...

Sippin' Saint Louis: March 2013
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. It's been a pretty good day. I woke up on time, did the stuff I needed to do around the house, ate a healthy breakfast, and headed out the door to a reasonably productive day at work. Toward the end of the day, I got an email regarding an issue that pisses me off. Retail pricing of wine and how the winery gets involved. I saw this online for x and they charge 4x for it at Caustalauta Bistro Cafe Wine Bar." You get my point, however this isn't what I'm talking about. What is most ...

Sippin' Saint Louis: January 2011
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. The Restaurant I Wanted To Hate. We mentioned that we were hungry, and literally had Babbo's Spaghetteria recommended twice in 45 seconds by people at the tasting. "Surely there can't be decent Italian in the Valley" I thought to myself. But, hunger overtook pride and we made the trek. Upon entering, my snobbery continued. No bar? The Margherita pizza was pretty darn good, too- fresh tomatoes and basil on top of slightly greasy cheese and crust that actually had enough salt in it.

Sippin' Saint Louis: December 2010
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. Looking back at 2010, I would say that it has been a tough year, but also a lot of fun. I'm going to do the requisite blog post of reviewing the year in terms of snapshots- I'm going to pick some of my favorite moments from each month, and talk about them, and what beverage was in my hand at the time. You bet. I'm sure I had a beer in my hand, and it was probably a can of Guinness. April- April was a great month, and I'm having trouble picking one particular moment. One is ...

Sippin' Saint Louis: August 2010
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Back to the old. I also realized that this blog has been a lot about me and the new company- probably not the most enthralling reading for those of you who simply want to know a little more about wine and the restaurant scene in St Louis. Drink something good today, and let me know all about it. Saturday, August 28, 2010. Justus, Blue Stem, Ernie, and Bert. Blue Stem was Bert. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Check them out here- www.missionstl.org. Last night it went rather smoothly...

http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Updates from the land of Charitable Wine. Many people have asked me where they can buy Ludovicus wine in order to support Mission: St Louis. Here is an updated list of the accounts that have purchased it in November and December. St Louis Wine Market. Market Grill in Soulard. One 19 North Wine Bar. Wine and Cheese Places. Friar Tuck- all locations. So, get out there, buy some wine, and support a great cause! Thursday, December 1, 2011. What an amazing month November was!

Sippin' Saint Louis: Retail wine pricing

Sippin' Saint Louis: Why Wine-on-Tap?
http://sippinstl.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-wine-on-tap.html
Thursday, December 1, 2011. What an amazing month November was! Because of the generosity of those in St Louis that are buying Ludovicus, I'm already going to write Mission: St Louis a check for over $500, and we still have December to go! Keep up buying that wine! Well, the short answer is that with wine-on-tap, you get the same benefits that you do with beer. The long answer is, well, longer. Here are the crib notes:. 1) It's more Eco-friendly. 2) It's less expensive. 3) The wine lasts longer.
