This Week's Wine: Merry Brunello
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012/12/so-one-of-parts-of-being-wine-rep-in.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. So, one of the parts of being a wine rep in Texas, is to actually work the shelves of your accounts. Y'all Yankee reps have no idea how good you have it. I've spent the last 3-4 weekends hanging out in my accounts talking about and selling my wines. Which is kind of funny considering that I already sold them once, to the account! Or the lady who said "if I buy this $9.99 bottle, will you give me your number? Let me tell you, retail is not easy. It's fun but not easy, you ar...

This Week's Wine: Kick off to summer, wear white, drink rose
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012/05/kick-off-to-summer-wear-white-drink.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. Kick off to summer, wear white, drink rose. So, it's not even June 1st and already the thermometer is at 99. This stuff wasn't on the "move to Texas" brochure I read last year. Sure. less taxes, bigger house, more money, but you can't go anywhere and spend it when the outside is an oven. What do you do? How many beers and Starbucks ice coffees can one drink in one day? How do you keep cool? Why are people still afraid of rose? It is Memorial Day, 4th of July is right around the corn...

This Week's Wine: October 2011
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. Washington State Pinot Noir. Oregon does eclipse Washington State when it comes to Pinot Noir, but what fun would wine be if we only drink the stuff that's on every store shelf? Even suggest it. Sometimes you hear a lot of industry insiders, talking about soil and sun exposure, pebbles and God knows what else. Wine, should be fun, from learning about it to drinking it and not about listening to experts that tell you what to and what not to drink. Sunday, October 9, 2011. After v...

This Week's Wine: Golf and Chablis
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012/05/golf-and-chablis.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. What happened to this guy? He is the one who put golf back on TV, who all he had to do to win was show up. Lee Trevino put it the best on The Feherty Show: " he is the best ever at the game, why does he need to change things? Give me five minutes with the guy, all he needs is a good slapping around not a new swing". Me, just like other Tiger fans, I am left wondering what could have been, and drowning my sorrow in a glass of Chablis. Open one now and drink it, you can thank me later.

This Week's Wine: October 2013
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. Has he been a huge influence on the market? Do I like the guy? I'm not a big fan of selling wines based on points, but it sure helps. Shelf tokens, case cards, posters whatever helps. 9 out of 10 people that walk into a store to shop around, can be influenced because of points, and if anybody ever tells you that the points and the package don't help selling the wine, he's full of it. There should be more people like him. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

This Week's Wine: January 2012
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. I started this blog when I first moved to Dallas. Out of boredom, and because after going to wine shops/grocery stores in the area, I was completely dumbfounded by their selections. Row after row, stack after stack of California wines, some Italian and South American and not one Burgundy or Bordeaux in sight. I am not bashing wines (yes I am) from the west coast, but where is my Burgundy? Sunday, January 22, 2012. 75 degrees in Tx, so Sauvignon Blanc. Saint Clair Vicar's Choice ...

This Week's Wine: June 2012
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. So, in a couple of days, we are going to have a baby. My wife is due June 12th, and our doctor decided that Mandy is going to be induced on Tuesday. This kind of takes the surprise out of the whole water breaking, crazy driving to the hospital, breathing, Lamaze thing. But hey! Not complaining, just want to make sure that my wife and my son are OK. I guess best place to be in preparation for the birth is a hospital room. Corton is basically a hill in Burgundy. It is not a big h...

This Week's Wine: Spam and Pinot
http://thisweekswine.blogspot.com/2012/12/so.html
Saturday, December 1, 2012. Sobeen out of touch for a few months now, but hey! We had a baby 5 months ago. Our life hasn't been the same since, and writing on my blog has been the last thing on my mind. Spencer is an awesome kid though, sleeps like nobody's business, both mother and kid are perfectly healthy, home sound and safe. I come home with a big smile on my face every night. Lamb chops, roasted potatoes and asparagus garlic and oil. at least that's what I had the second time I had a bottle.
