Too many good bottles of Sake.
Almost finished writing the class I am meant to be teaching in a few days. Almost finished the website that was meant to be ready to go in August. Almost figured out what I want to do with my life. Almost know what I want with the red-head who currently rules the passions I refuse to acknowledge. Almost doesn't really cut it. I would love to have ( Read more... ) -

Finally got my golden ticket......just gotta make it to the glass elevator.
The stack of note cards on my desk is beginning to pass the title of formidable and is now heading into the unwieldy category; most of my available wall space, and parts of the ceiling, are now covered in various wine region maps I have drawn the past 8 months of study; my collection of wine, spirit, and cigar related material now rivals the ( Read more... ) -
losing my job may lead to more meetings..............................
It seems that the only time I post is when I am at least 3 glasses of wine into the world. Funnily enough most of what I do in my life occurs after 3 glasses of wine. Realistically I am under the assumption that until I have consumed a bottle of wine I should not get out of bed and take a shower. Sometime in the future I am going to need a liver ( Read more... ) -
And now a word from the red states
Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.I just cannot bring myself in all good conscience to copy that sentence into my LJ. I am not married and remain staunchly single. In fact it is my belief that divine enrichment ( Read more... ) -

Domaine Chantal Lescure. Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru "les suchots" 1999
It has been a very surreal month. I passed my next level for the Court of Master Sommeliers, and with a bit of luck passed the ISG Diploma course. Suddenly A few people at work were fired or left. So all of a sudden I am launched into 3 Sommelier shifts per week and am in charge of the staff education program. Go figure.
I now wander around in ( Read more... ) -
Studying. Or the resultant mess....
I have spent the last 8 months learning more about wine and wine regions than 99.99934% of the general population deems necessary to conduct a meaningful life. I have spent the past 4 hours sharing 8 bottles of wine among new friends; I should be studying, the second half of my finals is this Sunday. Currently I am ploughed, broken woodpecker ( Read more... ) -
Ghemme, Berkastel, Madiran, and other regions which are of no use to anyone.
I am still wasting my life. Actually just wasted could perhaps sum it all up. You see I actually drink professionally. I technically get paid to drink, therefore all of the wine I but could actually be written off on my taxes. If I really wanted to push the envelope I could write off every meal I eat out as R and D. 10 hours every Sunday I learn ( Read more... ) -
Methods for confusing your cat and other feats of nonsensical amusement………
So it is now officially Tuesday, the day after Monday and the day after the day after my Birthday. So far the slow easy drift down from the thrill of Burning Man has been more of a screaming plummet hoping that my cushion really is a floatation device.
I have to admit that I enjoy BM for a lot more than the wanton exposure of ( Read more... )
