Win a Pair of Wine Diapers!

That's right. I'm giving away a pair of Wine Diapers to whoever posts to this blog with his/her favorite cool wine gadget! Just to give you an idea, I came across this great gadget today:

Pretty cool, huh? These are called "Picnic Stix," and they are wine holders that come with stems that you just stick into the ground at the park...the beach...wherever you happen to be imbibing! Your wine doesn't tip over AND you look very cool drinking it.

So what fun wine gadgets have you come across? Let me know between now and November 23rd. I'll pick my favorite, and the winner will get 2 free Wine Diapers!

Thanksgiving on the Mind...

Well, Thanksgiving's on my mind today, and I came across a fun article from Forbes that talked about Thanksgiving dinner wine pairings...the guy cited in the article (Gary Vaynerchuk) made 2 great points:

1) Ignore the traditional wine-pairing rules of the other 364 days of the year (red wines with roasted meats; light whites with salad). Forget about every food that's on the Thanksgiving table, actually. "All these rules have pigeonholed creativity," he says. "It's OK; try different things. Have fun with it, don't be intimidated by it."

2) Thanksgiving is a long day. So, if you're going to be drinking wine, be sure to pick varieties or styles you know you can drink all day--in other words, wines that are lower in alcohol and lighter in weight.Very good point! That is, unless you're going for the drunken stupor, which, depending on your family, can be a good idea.

So what's your favorite wine to have with Thanksgiving dinner?
