by Michelle Allen New methods of essential oil extraction are entering the mainstream of aromatherapy, offering new choices in oils never before available. With the new labels of ‘CO2′ and ‘SCO2′, along with the traditional ’steam’ and ‘hydro’ distillations, ‘absolutes’, and ‘cold pressing’, a little education for the aromatherapy enthusiast can go a long way in essential oil selection. Is one process better than another? Does one produce a nicer smelling oil, or one with greater aromatherapeutEveryday Wine Drinkers Are Not Brand Loyal
Everyday Wine Drinkers Are Not Brand Loyal January 6, 2009 by david burn | Permalink | 2 Comments Because I'm a big fan of Oregon pinot noir and would like to take on some wine industry clients this year, I've been thinking a lot about brand preference in this decidedly non-brand centric environment.

by The Backyard Wine Enthusiast It’s the sweet, joyful little effervescence bubbles that makes sparkling wine so delightful. The bubbles are created by trapping carbon dioxide. At many special events, sparkling wine will automatically be included as part of the celebration. The reason being, is that the wine itself appears to be having a party on its own with all those little dancing bubbles. For someone who has never tried a sparkling wine, it is difficult to describe its taste or experience. Oh the Delight of Sparkling Wine
by The Backyard Wine Enthusiast Sparkling wine is called sparkling because of those sweet, delightful little effervescence bubbles which are created by trapping carbon dioxide. Sparkling wine is usually the preferred wine for special occasions and celebrations. This is probably attributed to the fact that those tiny little bubbles appear to be having their own fun dancing merrily around in your fluted glass.

by The Backyard Wine Enthusiast Its the effervescence bubbles that makes sparkling wine so special. A celebration without sparkling wine, is a party that is incomplete. Sparkling wine is usually important to have on-hand for special occasions and to celebrate life’s events. When you pop off the cork it immediately gets everyone’s attention and most people will want to get a taste of the exotic bubbly. This wine is so special that it requires its own fluted glass. Opening a bottle of sparkling Short Trip to Red Brick Station
Short Trip to Red Brick Station By Greg B. So on a random Tuesday afternoon, Jer and I accompanied my sister on a shopping trip. Not so much for the shopping as the promised 2 hours at Red Brick Station. This is a local brewpub up in Whitemarsh, and I previously reviewed one of their porters, the Murf’s Porter. Man that was a great beer! And since I met Ashley, a woman who works there and was getting married around this time (congrats and goodluck!), I decided to stop in and pay this brewpuNews, Notes & Dusty Bottle Items Pt. II
Cleverness used to be the province of advertising copywriters who used a smart turn of phrase to spark a grin, in whatever format – advertising, sales copy or collateral. These days, however, most anybody can user their punditry to turn themselves into their own publisher. Just a scant two years ago, SmartsCo had the corner on a niche related to intelligent fun with wine-related trivia and games, and now days you can barely turn around without seeing a new publisher turn up.

Indeed, in this third go-round for Bret, we’ll watch him literally going ’round…the country, that is, as he tours with his solo band and a group of girls competing amongst themselves to be his one and only. Or whatever. After a montage of the reality thorns in Bret’s rose, he explains to us, “Only one woman can truly be my rock of love…three.” Ah, honesty.

Bubbles. By their very nature, they get big, and then, Splat! They burst. Dom-com stocks were bubbles. The housing market was a bubble. The Dow Jones of the last few years was a bubble. What did they have in common, and what does a bubble have to do with wine? What they had in common was values so high, they were unsustainable. The Dow peaked at just below 14,000 in October, 2007, by far its highest ever. Now it’s scraping 9,000. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the newspapers reported tw2008 In Review
For me to sum up the year 2008 in a word, the word would have to be “Change“. This was the year where all aspects of my life changed drastically and not all for the better. Of course, it was not all roses for everyone else what with the economy tanking and nothing really exciting happening in the local food scene.

Welcome to the year 2009! Here is to another great year full of drinking beautifully crafted, unique and excellent beers! Cheers! The current trend amongst many of my favorite bloggers has been to create some sort of list to commemorate the past year. Some have written posts about the top ten blogs that they have either written or read in 2008. Others have listed the top ten wines or beers that they had tasted in 2008. Some have done both. Technically, my blog is not even a year old. (The My Wine Predictions for 2009
Photo by Charyn Pfeuffer A couple years ago I made 8 bold predictions for 2007. I decided to sit last year out after only the most obvious of the eight actually came to pass (increasing direct to consumer wine sales). But some progress was made on the list in 2008 with Tyler Colman, a.k.a Dr. Vino truly “going pro” with the publication of not one, but 2 wine books. Not to mention the entire Gary Vaynerchuk story which played out in a big way since I made that prediction. Some of my other predi |
