We begin with good friends and good wine…

If you’re a fan of this website, you already knew that Scott and I like to cook and eat.  Now you know that we like to drink, too.

We’ve been doing a series of wine tastings with friends every other Wednesday night, now cheerfully dubbed The Humpday Tipples.  Tasting notes on all of the wines we drink there will go up in our brand new wine section on The Blue Cleaver, and we’ll also link to them here.  For example, you can go check out our first five tastings – Pinot Noir, Merlot,  Chardonnay, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc – right now. 

These tastings were the inspiration for creating this blog, but it will include much more than just those evenings’ notes.  We’ll make it a home for all manner of musings on wine, beer, spirits, and all the things that go along with them, from adventures while visiting wineries to checking out restaurant lists to reveling in finding the right bottle to pair with Jersey Shore episodes On Demand.  Cheers!
