When I stopped at Sonic for a quick snack, I wasn’t planning on a milk shake or a post extolling its virtues. One sip in and I was hooked and had to take a quick picture for the inevitable post. The drive through menu ads caught my eye with their command to “Drink More Pie!” [...]

I don’t drink a lot of beer or ale. I prefer wine or hard alcohol as a general rule. I am always pleasantly surprised when someone introduces me to a new brew that I genuinely enjoy and would happily drink more of.

We’ve all been there, pick out a bottle of wine based solely on the artwork on the bottle. Of this, I have to say I am guilty. Fortunately for me the wine was actually pretty good.

John, Lea, Gregory, and I are all sitting down to enjoy bbq and some wine. Our first bottle of the night is Clayhouse Adobe red. A blend of many wines, this red first hits you with a warm heat that starts in the front of the mouth. After a bit of a drying sensation, a charcoal taste fills [...]

What a beautiful wine. One of my favorites. I love its rich body and sweet taste. For just around $10 a bottle it’s a steal.
