To Your Taste!: August 2008
http://toyourtastekit.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A blog about wine, not wines. Monday, August 4, 2008. Tasting etiquette at large, crowded walk-around tastings. And you guys who are doing the pouring of the samples, you are just as guilty. What's the proper way? That's my biggest complaint about this type of event. What's yours? Labels: rude etiquette tasting walk-around festival. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

To Your Taste!: September 2008
http://toyourtastekit.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A blog about wine, not wines. Monday, September 22, 2008. Each of us wine lovers has had at least one "Wine Epiphany," where you suddenly "get" what wine is all about. For me, it was on Thursday, March 9, 1989, at Jean-Louis at the Watergate in Washington, DC. It was the "Graves Tasting Tour and Dinner with Jean-Louis" sponsored by Les Amis du Vin (the storied wine tasting group that warrants a post all its own! For those of you who don't know Jean-Louis Palladin, here's a little background from the.

To Your Taste!: Spring Wine Tasting Extravaganza
http://toyourtastekit.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-wine-tasting-extravaganza.html
A blog about wine, not wines. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Spring Wine Tasting Extravaganza. Although this blog is about wine, not about wines, I do have to single out one of the wines I tasted at the event. It was the Ch. Doisy-Daene Grand Vin Sec, Bordeaux 2006. I'm very familiar with the Ch. Doisy-Daene Sauternes with it's honey notes, silky texture and clean mineral finish. I didn't note the name on the label until after I tasted it. It was a "wow!

A blog about wine, not wines. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Maryland Direct Shipping Bill (Finale for 2009). Rather than tell the whole sad story here, I recommend you read The Wine Classroom. Blog by the Wine Novice:. Obit written again on Md. direct-shipping bill. The note came Friday morning from Adam Borden, who became one of the principal spokesmen for a bill that would allow Maryland wineries to ship their product directly to home. It was brief, to the point. Labels: Maryland Direct Shipping Bill Dead.

To Your Taste!: May 2008
http://toyourtastekit.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A blog about wine, not wines. Monday, May 19, 2008. MADD attempts to outlaw social drinking. This one has me seething mad! Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Has come up with a diabolic way to prevent any adult in the US from enjoying a glass of wine in a bar, with dinner at a restaurant, or at a wine tasting or wine festival. This organization will not be satisfied until. Alcohol can be arrested for "driving while impaired," aka "DUI" in many states. How do they plan to do this? Why am I mad about this?

To Your Taste!: June 2008
http://toyourtastekit.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A blog about wine, not wines. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Picnics, parks and wine. Today I attended an invitation-only picnic at a city-owned park. I was told when I accepted the invitation that alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the park. I was disappointed, but I went anyway. It's a beautiful day, the first full day of summer, and the weather is sunny and hot. A nice chilled rosé would have gone nicely with my hot dog and tomato and olive tapenade salad. Why is this policy not challenged? Wine Party K...

A blog about wine, not wines. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Maryland Direct Shipping Bill (Part 3). I would like to hope that my next post in this series will be in celebration of passage of the direct shipping law in Maryland. But alas, that is not likely. Stay tuned. Sunday, February 22, 2009.
