These things you should know about me.  I’m a wine snob who knows jussssttttt enough about wine to get herself into trouble.  I believe in spending good money on good reds.  That one doesn’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy a yummy white (especially an affordable South American, Australian or New Zealand find that’s perfect for patio drinking in the summer).  Good wine glasses are an investment worth making.  And that fans at Fenway Park should NEVER do “the wave” when the home team is losing (it’s bad enough at all times, but simply inexcusable when the Sox are losing).

I’ve been thinking about hurling myself into the blogosphere for some time, but had concerns about the time commitment involved.  But this evening, I finally thought: why not?

This blog will be focused on a couple of my favorite topics: wine and the Red Sox. (Sometimes I think you need to have one to enjoy the other.)  Occasionally I’m sure some of my other favorite topics will make their way in: my husband, my pets, my friends, my love of dining out and travel.

But for now, let me share what I’m drinking this evening: a lovely, super-chilled Argentinian Torrontes from san huberto.  Just $9.99 a bottle at my local store.  It’s an absolutely gorgeous straw color and has a lovely nose and finish.  Hints of fruit.  I’m loving this as I sit on the patio, enjoying a June evening. I’ll be doing some searching this evening to find other wine- (and Sox-) focused blogs to link to.  Here’s hoping I can share some great wine finds in this venue (and hear from you about what you’re drinking and loving).  And rant and celebrate about what the Sox have in store for Red Sox Nation in the coming months.
