Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 20, 2011
The party’s over, the glasses have all been collected, the bottles returned for refund and the winners notified (once they’ve all replied we’ll share their names with you!). But that doesn’t mean summer sipping is over, here’s a handy reference of all the wines that came up in convo during the party. Feel free to [...]

We were recently invited to check out Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa, so we sent our intrepid Shoni Field with her family to do a little exploring: The line popped into my head as we walked through the lobby of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort. Not that Johnny Castle was there to teach me [...]
time to wine:summer sipping…the end is here
Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 15, 2011
There aren’t many things worse than a party guest that doesn’t know when to go. No amount of hinting can seem to get them out of your house and into the taxicab home. Luckily for us, we’ve enjoyed partying with you all so much, we never want you to leave! However, like all good things [...]
foodie friday: from beans to bombay
Filed Under foodie friday | July 15, 2011
In a past post, I mentioned my newly rekindled loveaffair with the chickpea. As promised, here is the incredible, edible, Bombay Hummus recipe from one of my favourites, the ReBar cookbook. Its a surprising take on a traditional hummus. The additional layers of spices really kick it up a notch (my apologies Emmeril). I find [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to try all the wines this summer that Marcus has been suggesting. Its going to be tough let me tell you. Congratulations again to Sue, our winner of the 12 Riedel Wineglasses from Hemispheres. We’ll be drawing [...]

Yesterday’s questions (and answers) were so amazing, I can’t wait to make dinner tonight. Perhaps I’ll be inspired and pair a hot dog or two with Seguras Vidas (who knew), just to keep everyone on their toes. We’ll be drawing a winner today for the twelve pack of Riedel glasses, so now is the time [...]

Well, its day two of our wine tasting and the conversation just getting started. Feel free to check out any day’s discussions and comment on them…we’ll be sure to respond. Marcus always has such great wine advice, now really is the time to pick his brain and ask your burning wine questions. Summer season, is [...]
got your back: tech tuesday
Filed Under tech tuesday | July 12, 2011
Sorry I missed Tech Tuesday last week but I have a very good reason. I was on holiday. Well, sort of. It’s hard to be offline when you run your own business. And I didn’t mention being away on Twitter or Facebook to protect against, you know, thieves and all that. But I did have [...]
time to wine: summer sipping day one
Filed Under sponsored posts | July 11, 2011
There’s nothing better than a party with your friends talking about adult stuff and sipping on your favourite bevvie. But lately, we’ve found it harder and harder to get together with our friends (what with kids and all), and when we do get together, the conversation inevitably morphs into one about daycare, new schools and…inevitably…poo. [...]
