Vegas Tastings, Baby!

Just in case you were wondering what happened to me this week (or even if you weren’t. whatever.), I’m a much happier woman today! My daughter brought the kids up, and we’ve spent a great family week together, with four generations (my mother, me, my daughter, and my grandchildren) doing the Vegas thing. I’m exhausted! But very, very happy and still grinnin’ from ear to ear!

Meanwhile, one of my long-promised Vegas Wineaux features is finally up and running. Vegas Tastings is now a large, beautiful slideshow that showcases some fun moments in tastings at some of our favorite wine shops and retailers. They are in no particular order, not in location, retailer, date, or season! I even have a couple of pics from Jimmy’s Cafe, now gone lo these many months.

So enjoy the photos from Khoury’s, Steak, Marche Bacchus, Valley Cheese and Wine, Vino 100 and more, as we reminisce over the fun tasting moments that we’ve all shared over the years.

The Home Tastings and the Travels (was Paso) pages are being worked on now and will be available shortly. You can be sure that I’ll let you know when they are!

2005 Vines on the Marycrest - My Generation

Like the other reds in its portfolio, Vines on the Marycrest has named this, its flagship wine, after a song - in this case, My Generation by The Who.

Visitors had come by, and I wanted to share a bottle of a nice wine with them and spotted the My Generation in the wine fridge. I was in a celebratory frame of mind (almost the end of my “medical house arrest” woo hoo!) and wanted to open a bottle of something special.

Of course I’d only open this bottle with real “wine people,” and I’m almost glad that I did. I love sharing, but damn . This was so good that I wish that I’d been a little more selfish!

Cruising the Wineries of Mexico - History and Schedule

The upcoming wine cruises in October and December are creating a lot of buzz among Wineauz in Vegas! Before we talk about the details, let me tell you a little about the history of the wineries in Mexico. There are many skeptics who are still stunned that such wineries exist. I had a great time doing the research, and found quite a bit of surprising information. What I’m relating here is just a microcosm of the information and history of these wineries and wine region.

Wine Down Wednesday

Okay, so I’m a little late in reporting this, but that’s okay. Sunny 106.5 had its spring season of Wine Down Wednesday events at the Casino MonteLago in Lake Las Vegas, and I made the long trek there in spite of living at the other end of the world. That would be Northwest Las Vegas for those of you unfamiliar with the area.

Sunny 106.5 FM is Las Vegas’ “Adult Contemporary” radio station with probably the best on-air personalities in town. Two of my favorites were there last Wednesday, Tom Chase - late morning and the station GM - and Michael Neal, the early morning guy who is a great foil to Melanie. I *really* like Melanie because I share her single-woman angst. But you’d have to listen to understand!

Enjoy the Slideshow!  Wine Down Wednesday Returns!
