Brim to the Dregs: March 2014
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Thursday, March 06, 2014. The Ethics of Meat. Are you a vegetarian? Pescetarian, flexitarian or omnivore? Don’t even get me started on meatatarians. Maybe you’ve gone paleo? When it comes to food politics, the divisions can be just as contentious as regular politics. And we all know how that is these days. Almost ten years ago, I started changing my food-purchasing habits. Thanks to an increase...

Brim to the Dregs: November 2010
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Friday, November 26, 2010. It feels like the day after Thanksgiving. Leaves are coming down in waves. Hardly any cars are passing outside. A light rain gives us the perfect reason to lay around and do very little. I'm thankful for so many things in my life: family, friends, a full refrigerator and an overflowing wine stash, among them. Baron-Fuenté Rosé Dolorès NV Brut ($18, Cellar on Greene. As we...

Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Today I'll leave you with this link. Regardless of your perspective, it's a topic worth considering. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Me and Julian Assange. This post has nothing to do with Julian Assange. It’s about writing for the web. For lots of bloggers, the key to success is to write posts with little or no substance and give them catchy titles, like “Your Mom Thinks ...

Brim to the Dregs: One of a Kind
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-of-kind.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. One of a Kind. Before I start, I’ll warn you that this post is not about wine, a little sad and very sentimental. If you’re not a dog lover, you can probably stop right here. Peanut lived a fine and long life – 14 years and some change. We were fortunate to have enjoyed her presence in our lives. A dog like her only comes along once in a lifetime. A friend of mine describ...

Brim to the Dregs: Dig Deep
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/dig-deep.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Thursday, April 21, 2011. One of the curiosities about winemaking is that the best grapes do not grow where you might expect. Although grapevines may thrive in fertile soil and perfect weather, the best wine grapes come from less than ideal locations. I get stuck in a routine all too easily. My weeks frequently look startlingly similar: the same schedule, the same rituals, the same meals, the s...

Brim to the Dregs: Playing in the Dirt
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/playing-in-dirt.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Saturday, April 23, 2011. Playing in the Dirt. I spent the better part of the morning working on my garden. I planted nine tomato plants, seven basil plants, two eggplants, one squash plant, one zucchini plant and one mystery plant in the squash/zucchini family that was donated by a kind neighbor. I'm inclined to believe it because I feel pretty good right now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Brim to the Dregs: October 2010
http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Sunday, October 10, 2010. The leaf pictured above is from a beautiful dogwood tree that sits just on the other side of our driveway. The unsavory person who owns that property once informed me that she planned to cut it down. Thankfully, she was too cheap or lazy to actually do it. Every year it's one of the first trees to change color and announce the coming of fall. Most people think of rosé as a...

Brim to the Dregs: August 2013

Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. After a two-year break from writing this blog, it’s hard to pick a topic for a comeback post. Eventually, you just have to pick something and go with it. Some my favorite posts have been about our dogs, so that seems like a safe bet. The picture above is our latest dog, Abi. She came to live with us about a year and a half ago. One day a friend sent me a link to a rescue...

Brim to the Dregs: February 2011

Brim to the Dregs. A conversation about wine, food and other related pleasures from a Southern perspective. Friday, February 25, 2011. Don't miss this post. From The Pour about using words to describe wine. If you write about or talk about wine, you inevitably end up describing it. It's easy to lapse into winespeak. Wine is fermented grape juice. Sometimes the best thing to do is eat, drink and enjoy. Sunday, February 13, 2011. One of my goals for this year is to ramp up my gardening skills. I come b...
