Do what you gotta do. If the writer has questions, have him or his agent call me.” “Okay… ” Before he leaves, he lifts the bottle of wine from my deak. “It’s compliments from a writer friend who works down the hall. You met him once at a studio party.” “Really… tell me how you like it.” “If you’d like, we can taste it together… later?” “Sure.” Once Thom leaves, I go over my notes. When the writer arrives, I address every issue with care and with a light touch. He’s receptive and raises legitimate questions in return. However, his intelligence makes it easy to discuss options for the rewrite. And he has a sense of humor, which is an asset, as well. When he stands to leave, he says, “Looking forward to working with you,” and gives me a hug – perfect. I leave work at six-thirty. When I reach home, I uncork the wine. Then, I take my pricier wine glasses from the cabinet and the cheese from the refrigerator to soften at room temperature. There’s little time to freshen up, except to brush my teeth, wash my face and apply fresh make-up before Thom arrives. When he does, we sit on the purple sofa. For a minute, I’m nervous and at a loss what to say. As usual, Thom fills in the…

Session over. See you in two weeks,” Abbey said. Dr. Sloan murmured As Abbey made her way through the kitchen door, small plumes of smoke swirled out behind her and crept toward the ceiling where they hovered like specters in the fading afternoon light.

The maroon cushions puffed out from beneath her…

absolute favorite alcoholic beverage…wine! Also, I intend to educate by sharing information about some of the unknown benefits of aerating wine. Aerating certain wines will reduce ethanol and sulfites, help to remove sediment, and enhance the flavor profile, texture, and aromas (Smith, 2015). In my drinking years, I have consumed countless bottles of wine, and there are significant differences in aerated wine. Wines that have undergone aeration have a softer mouthfeel, as well as an overall…

Many times we feel that wine tasting involves long trips to places like Santa Ynez, Paso Robles or Napa and often fail to look in our own backyards. Four Brix is one of those local diamonds in the rough being a part of the Ventura Wine Trail that I have shamefully failed to visit in a long time. Gary and Karen Stewart have been long time friends and supporters of Grape of the Night (GOTN). My last visit to Four Brix was in 2013 with the GOTN group where Gary not only tasted us on their fine…

It’s a lot to look at when all you needed was a place to stash some wine, right?

Frog’s Leap Winery is obviously not alone in having problems, whether they are external, internal, or simply out of their control. The state of the economy affects all businesses, including wineries. Frog’s Leap does “discount retailing” to cut their profits nearly in half by distributing to retailers for the sale of their wines. This proves to be an excellent idea in hopes to get the brand out there and gain some loyal customers, but also puts a damper on the possible revenues for the winery by…

When he made his way back to Fortunato, however, he hesitated when he saw his friend having a what seemed to be a deep conversation with another man. Once Montresor recognized the other person to be his friend Angelo, he shuffled to approach them with his lips stretched out into a friendly grin. "Ah, so the rumors are true." Montresor heard Angelo say from a few feet behind him. "Of course!" Fortunato admitted proudly as if it was his doing. "The Montresor Family is going bankrupt!" Montresor…
