    A Glimpse Of New Zealand

    I wish I could say there was more than just this moment in time. There are so many places in this world to experience, but there are few that motivate me to sell every material thing I own and begin again in. This is something that can’t be explained: especially in this space I acknowledge…

  • Catena Alta Chardonnay Fantasmas

    Catena Alta Chardonnay Fantasmas

    Last night, yet again, I couldn’t sleep. This isn’t a Covid thing, this is a Susan thing. I don’t have a problem falling asleep; on the contrary. Once the day is over, once I can sit on a couch with a Nexflix agenda – I’m out. I start to stir at 3 or 4 AM.…

    Wine Girl Gone Wild Quickie: Chardonnay Throw Down

    If everything remained the same, my life would be a lot easier, right?  I wouldn’t need to explain myself, stress about the unknown, come up with a plan that may fail, come up with the cover up plan, and re-do all of this next week. So, why can’t the same grape taste the same way,…

  • Dinner With People You Don’t Know (Or Care To Know)

    Dinner With People You Don’t Know (Or Care To Know)

    If you and I are friends, you are probably one of about five people. This is true of most of us; keep your squad close and all others, well, at a nice arm’s length distance. I don’t want to sound bitter, mean girly, or elitist. I want to come to you, as always, with the…

  • Drink This! Frenching All Day

    Drink This! Frenching All Day

    I can’t stop drinking French wine. Six months ago I made the decision to “brush up” on my Frenchy wine facts.  Been a while since I needed to put a buyer in a comfort mode, and get them ready to accept European wines.  That is the switch you need to turn on in your brain.  YOU…

    Culinary Adventures With MaryEllen

    I love the stories of your mother in the kitchen, cooking great meals, you and your siblings sharing in the chores of dinner, stories passed between all of you, aromas in the air seducing you and pulling you in…… MaryEllen Pajak tried; she tried. There were a few good meals created by my mother in…

    Divide and Conquer – Judging Truvee Chardonnay

    Have you ever felt the pull of another soul? Two sisters, that do not know about each other, both fall into the wine business on two different continents, and upon their father’s death… They connect.  That story alone gets me going.  How do things like that happen?  I feel the same about certain people I…

  • All About the French – Part 1

    All About the French – Part 1

    Let’s get something out of the way – wine is about what YOU like.  It is what warms your cheeks, makes you sexy, tells you stories, creates the mystery.  I WILL NEVER TELL YOU WHAT TO DO OR DRINK; in wine or in life.  Unless, of course, you want me to… But yeah, the French got…
