Some local friends and their extended family welcomed us to their celebration this year so it [...]
Now that you’ve worked out of your calorie overload torpor from yesterday, it’s on to the mall! Oh wait, we’ll leave that part for you. We’re concerned about your lunch here and with it being a quasi-holiday and all, wine with lunch sounds like a great idea. So just which wine would you pair with [...]

El pasado fin de semana cuando el padre de algunos Adictos a la Lujuria, incluido el mío propio, se encontraba en casa tras salir victorioso de un infarto, decidí celebrarlo con el vino más sano y sanote de los que conozco y de los que todavía me quedaba [...]
El pasado domingo 30 de marzo Adictos a la Lujuria realizo una nueva salida oficial del Club gastronómico visitando una de las bodegas más singulares de la Terra Alta, Cataluña, España……. el Celler de Laureano Serres Montagut.

Barbera is one of the most food friendly red grapes since it can have wonderful red and black fruit aromas, invigorating acidity and lightness in tannin.

Friend of the blog and über travel blogger Mark Ashley sent in this photo from his flight from Munich last week: yes, he ordered the infamous Rich prosecco in a can!

Old: Books from the past often have something interesting lurking in their pages, so I enjoy looking through them, trying to discover these little gems. An English friend, who has lived in Jerez since 1968 and deals in antiques, recently gave me a copy of “Wines of the World” edited by André Simon to have [...]
The most recent session of my six-week introductory wine class at NYU wrapped up last week. We like to end the class in style: a giant edition of show and tell and taste. For some odd reason, Mrs. Vino always refers to this as the party, but no! It is an assignment!
