Here is the skinny on what we ate and drank. Please leave comments in terms of food and wine. My take on the whole event was a little skewed since I was knee deep in cheese and tomatoes for most of it. Comments on the wine would be much appreciated! Thanks to everyone who came. [...]

DGS Adventurous Wines
Posted in Educational, European, Food, Spain, Wine, cork, dessert, italy, riesling, sparkling, tasting group on January 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
DGS went wild last night, with a tasting of wines from all over the world, in what we’d dubbed Dead Grapes Society Adventurous Wines. We had ~25 people and 16 bottles of wines (some doubled up).
1. Taberno Brut Champagne Style Charmat Method (Peru) $10
We kicked the tasting off with two bottles of Taberno, a [...]
Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail: Part II
Posted in Michigan, Wine, Winery, dessert, sauternes on August 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
These are the middle of the road wineries that are worth while to hit, but wouldn’t be a great travesty to miss.
Lemon Creek Winery
Doubling as a pick-your-own fruit farm, this is a bustling little winery just across the street from Domaine Berrien. It’s got a rather sparse tasting bar, and the servers get you moving [...]
Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail: Part I
Posted in Ale, Beer, Brewery, Cabernet Sauvignon, Educational, Food, Liqueur, Michigan, Viognier, Vodka, Wine, Winery, dessert, sauternes on August 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
As the other Asian who did not venture on the Memorial Day Michigan wine trip, I felt obligated to go on my own outing and explore the wine region closest to the Windy City, the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail. The trip was a great break from the city. We managed to fit in [...]
Ethiopian: Tej and Injera
Posted in Food, Liqueur, Wine, dessert, ethiopian, mead on July 22, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Ethiopian food can be a challenge to eat as a newbie. You eat only with your hands using torn pieces of injera, a spongy sourdough pancake like bread, to scoop pieces of saucy goodness into your mouth. Usually the food comes on one giant piece of flat bread with all your chosen entrees on top [...]
Three Floyds Brewery
Posted in Ale, Beer, Brewery, Food, Indiana, dessert on July 8, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Nestled in the middle of no where fast, Three Floyds Brewery is a greasy beer saturated gem in the flatlands of Indiana. With a hopping brew pub attached, the brewery doubles as a great destination for a night of laid back drinking. The specialty brews are worth the visit. We tried all but two of [...]
Sauternes: A little fuzz ain’t so bad
Posted in French, Wine, dessert, sauternes on June 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A rich golden yellow, Sauternes just looks heavenly. I would have included a picture, but its so gorgeously golden you might go blind looking directly at it. In any event, if you noticed an Asian girl rubbing her hands together in front of the Sauternes section of a wine shop it was most likely me. [...]
Michigan Wineries

This Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to take a trip to the nearby Michigan wineries – and then on to the not-so-nearby Canadian wineries…
Early Saturday morning, a group of eight of us from the Dead Grapes Society (DGS) made the 1.5 hour drive to St. Joseph, Michigan, where a whole belt of wineries is [...]
South African Wines
Posted in Chenin Blanc, Educational, Pinotage, Port, Viognier, Wine, dessert, south africa on March 25, 2007 | 2 Comments »
To be honest I know little about South African Wines and have not had the opportunity to partake in too many. What I do know is that they are relatively cheap and new to the business and art of wine making. Apparently lots of interesting flavors are coming from this area and their wines are [...]
