The Educated Grape: July 2010

A little info about me....

A little info about me and how this blog came about....

I am a self confessed Wineaux and love to learn about and teach about the wonderful world of wine.

All of my education thus far has been through the highly regarded school of hard knocks. And though I find myself to be extremely technically challenged, my love of wine forced me to delve into the blogging world and start a wine blog in the hopes that fellow Wineauxs would contribute to my passion for education in this field.

But beware....this is a snob free zone. Any know-it-alls will not be allowed in this classroom.

Hi all,

In addition, I will be offering Free in-home wine tastings as a Traveling Vineyard wine consultant starting October 1st.

The in home wine tastings I conduct, will teach you how to taste wine correctly in a fun, unintimidating setting ~ you will learn that it truly isn't rocket science.

How to open a wine bottle with a shoe

This came from a friend and I found it to be very useful to all my wineaux friends. Hope you find it useful too. It is in French but you don't need to know french to understand this video. Thanks Emily and Dave for contributing this.
