When I first began this blog, it never occurred to me that it could be such hard work. How hard could it be for me to talk about wine, food and beer? I am very passionate about all three. While I do love writing about them, and all of the research that goes into it, having a successful blog requires a commitment. Commitment is never an easy thing, but that’s what makes it worthwhile.

It also means that you have to deal not only with the expected things like apathy, lack of inspiration, and writer’s block, but also, as I am finding out, hurricanes and “Comcastic” connectivity, or the lack thereof. Commitment gets you through it all.

Between October 24th and the 26th, I will be joining over 160 other folks in who have made the same commitment. I am really looking forward to meeting these people at the Wine Bloggers Conference in Sonoma, CA. and blogging from Wine Country for a few days.

Here is a list of the people I will have the honor of spending the weekend drinking, eating, talking, and writing with:

Delicious Sunday Brunch Quiche

Joe Power

This is what my family will be waking up to this morning. Breaking with my usual way of doing things, I will post this recipe in traditional format. Just don’t get used to it.

Natural cork, synthetic cork, or screwcap?

Who cares? Just pour the damn wine already! It tastes great with all three kinds of closures.

More good news for wine drinkers

Joe Power

Sometimes it seems that us wine drinkers may just live forever. In fact, we may be the only people, besides repo men, that get much good news these days. Take this article about an Israeli study showing that red wine is effective at making red meat more healthy:
Taking a sip of red wine with a [...]

Some unrelated thoughts…

Joe Power

“I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.”
