Whatever happened to that Cork and Demon gal?

What is it with life, always wanting to nudge its way into your blogging time? Doesn't it know that Mankind has spent centuries trying to get to a place where one can just sit around and gratify oneself with one's own musings? The very idea that things like divorce, changes in financial status, the holidaze and switching jobs might interfere with this noble pursuit is a damn shame.

Be that as it is, I can't very well just leave this little site to wither on the Island of Lost Blogs, poor thing. Especially after all the trouble I went through, doing all that traveling, tasting and interviewing last year on the Western Wine Tour.

The Texas wine segment was fun for a while, but requires more research than I have time for now. So back to doing what I do best: drinking all kinds of vino from all over and telling you how great they were (or weren't), as well as proper wine pairings. And since everybody pairs wine with food, I'll focus on other pairings for wine. For instance, which juice best compliments the HBO series Rome? What should one drink when overwhelmed with suburban ennui? After a one-night stand? Before attending a Baptist dry wedding reception, and after said event? All these questions and more will be the schtuff of my posts.

There is a wine for everyone, and every situation, and I hope to discover them all. And as I've stepped back into the role of bartender, there's no sense in my neglecting my other favorite spirits as well. Ah, sweet gin...a proper martini makes everything all right again....

So check in, people. My vino-swilling ass is back.

Clinkies!
