WFB — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:38:03 +0000

Shot up to some local vineyards for a grape stomp and BBQ. We took a tractor ride through the beautiful vineyard and jumped into the mess. I actually had someone tell me there were going to make a marinade out of the juice…. Gross!

WFB — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 03:20:46 +0000

This was probably the most fun time I’ve had with wine… ever. After an amazing bull fight (the bull won, and wasn’t hurt), we took to the streets and begged the Gods for water for next year’s crops. The kind neighbors of Requena answered our prayers by pouring water on us, and sharing their first press!!!

Episode 44 – Why You Should Never Drink Brunette Wine – Brokenwood Winery

WFB — Thu, 12 May 2011 06:35:59 +0000

During a trip to Australia’s Hunter Valley, me and some of my wine blonde friends swung into the executive tasting room at Brokenwood. Our host was a charming “Frozzie” (French-Aussie), who caught us up on why the Hunter Valley does amazing Semillion, and why you should never, ever drink a wine if its turned into a brunette. :)

Episode 43 – Spanking Toby James & Drinkin’ Fancy Wine

WFB — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:50:12 +0000

Tobin “Toby” James, 9 “Fancy” wines, 4 different kinds of meat, and getting to spank the winemaker. Holy cow – what a night. Toby is known for his rockstar Paso zins and syrahs. And like the other winemakers out of Paso, he’s a cool dude. I think they must put fun juice in the water up there, because these guys are all cool.

Episode 42 – Down Under @ Hungerford Hill in Hunter Valley

WFB — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:53:32 +0000

Life is good when you get a chance to hop on a helicopter from Sydney Australia and head an hour over beautiful beaches to the Hunter Valley to go wine tasting down under. Whilst (thats what they say instead of while) we were in the Hunter, we caught up with a mate named Mike from the Hungerford Hill winery. Mike was an awesome Aussie who caught us up on the amazing whites and reds of the area.

I finally made it to Australia to commence my wine adventures Down Under. They start in an amazing location – Cedars Mount View in the Hunter Valley. New friends Jenny and Ray gave us an amazing welcome to the luxury cabins. We got to the hunter via helicopter from Sydney… simply amazing!

Episode 40 – What To Drink In Cambodia

WFB — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:39:45 +0000

One of the things I love most about travel is finding out what the locals are eating and drinking. So, on my way back from Angkor Wat, I asked our tour guide, and his response… Well, actually I couldn’t understand him that well, so he just ended up taking us to a Rice Wine Factory, and I got the point. Not bad stuff – but let me tell you, I didn’t finish the bottle (which is odd for me). LOL.

Episode 39 – Wine For Blondes… In Cambodia

WFB — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 21:38:08 +0000

After 10 long days of wineless travel (or at least should have been wineless travel) through Thailand, I stumbled upon the majestic, wonderful, kind, and English speaking world of Cambodia. Cambodia, thankfully for me, was occupied by the French, who left a wine culture behind. I’ve only been here a few hours, but already I’ve settled into some amazing cuisine and a wonderful Sauv Blanc… Ironically called “Attitude.” Its a Frenchie, and fantastic!

Episode 38 – Making Wine In 90 Seconds

WFB — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 08:58:14 +0000

This is a how-to, basic, 90 second shpeal on how to make wine (from vine to glass). Who knew it could be so easy? Don Reha (from Thornton Winery) takes us through the process. As hundreds of our favorite wineries slave away during harvest, this video should remind them… making wine is easy… RIGHT? lol.
