Wine, the elixir of life...

and beer too!

Great Burgundy wine is like an orgasm. "If you're not sure whether you've had one, you haven't. If you have had one, you want another one as quickly as possible".

Opened this 63' Cockburn in 2013. Half a century in the bottle and it was perfect except the cork was a little worse for the wear. Just goes to show, 50 is AWESOME!



An great 95' Chateau Angelus from Bordeaux.

Eddie taking his Bordeaux wine class. It was tough. 16 wines in 4 tasting over 2 months. I think I should retake the class ;-)



Another Bordeaux class with my class mate, Sheena. She always lets me peek at her notes if I "put out".

   Our love of wine didn't start until we lived in Germany. While we were there, we had the pleasure of taking some local wine classes and spending time in excellent wine bars that were always happy to teach newbies about wine.
