Wouldn't it be great to be a travel writer like Rick Steves?  I bet he has some stories to tell that he couldn't print or put into his videos. That would have to be a hard life traveling all the time.  His favorite place in the world must be his own bed in Seattle.

There have been so many things that I have wanted to do.  I wanted to be an actor (and still do).  My mother always said that I was a really good liar so acting could have been a viable career.  My memory now is not very good so it would have to be improv.

Did you ever have that feeling that there is so much to do that you just don't know where to start.  I remember being sick and home from school as a child and after several days of being home, I finally made it back to school.  I was lost.  How could I possibly catch up.  Three or four days behind felt insurmountable.  It always worked out - I don't know how exactly but it just did.  I guess receiving a "D" on test is still working it out. 

I love hearing the stories about these cyber geeks that turn the tables on SPAMMERS.  I love stories when the good guys win.  We get a different type of SPAM at the wine shop.  The love letter below we get about once a week in different forms.  This one is looking for some Champagne that

Every bottle of wine over $19.98 will receive a 25% discount.  This sale is Saturday only and the lowest price is cost regardless of discount.

Tasting and evaluating wine adds to its pleasure.  There are some basic time-tested standards for wine tasting but the most basic rules to follow are to use your own words to describe a wine, create your own list of terms and take notes.

I am glad this happened last year on December 31st, 2011. It was a great way to finish the year. So picture this: A really busy tasting at Teller Wines. We are tasting some great bottles like Mollydooker Enchanted Path and Ampelidae Armance B and a few pedestrian wines like the 2003 Silver Oak Napa. I brought out a bottle of the 2009 Mollydooker Velvet Glove to taste. About 20 people had small tastes - now remember it was busy and I had just finished telling the Velvet Glove story about the smashed wine:

Many customers have a bottle of wine that they are saving for 'that special day'.  I tell them that my special day is Tuesday.

I remember the former owners of Penfolds winery in Australia came to our house in Baltimore to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner.  It was a magnificent feast as usual. The owners of the winery gave my father a bottle of their Claret.  It was one of their finest vintages.

This has been a dream of mine for over a decade.  Teller Wines is going to offer you the ability to purchase wine at the published wholesale price.  Here is how it works.

I had this beautiful pork shoulder that was rubbed and in the fridge for 2 days.  I put it on the Egg for an overnight 14 hours.  I had prepped grape vines and they were smoking the shoulder at 250 degrees.  I went to check the Egg one more time before going to bed and ADT called with a break-in attempt at Teller Wines.  So I closed the lid of the Egg quickly and did not check the top vent opening.  It had accidentally closed down.  After returning back home, I did not recheck the Egg.  When I woke up, the fire had gone out and the shoulder was cold and I was totally depressed.
