  • How to be Comfortable when Starting a New Job

     It is estimated that we, as average Americans, have between eight and ten jobs in our lifetimes. While many of these job changes may be for positive matters – a more challenging career, better advancement, more lucrative pay – the fact remains that starting a new job can be one of the biggest stresses in life. The reasons for this vary.More

  • Global Warming Attacking Wine Vineyards

     Global Warming is something we all hear about. We hear mention of it on the news, we see protests regarding it on college campuses, and we receive messages about it in our email in-boxes. But, most of us don't really understand what it is, or we choose to ignore it.More

  • Climbing the Liquor Ladder: Going from Beer to Wine

     Almost everyone remembers their first drink of alcohol. I remember mine like it was yesterday. Taking a sip of my father's Bud Light when I was seven years old, I realized it tasted nothing like the root beer I frequently drank, mixing it with vanilla ice cream in large plastic cups.More

  • The Wines of Alsace

     After the conclusion of the 2006 World Cup, with Italy edging the French team in a 5-3 shootout, those rooting for France could probably have used some very good alcohol to numb their emotions. Luckily for the French, they needn't look far; some of the best wine is right under their noses. Alsace, a region of France, is known for producing the greatest of white wines.More

  • Wine Clubs: No Beers Allowed

     Bottle of White, Bottle of Red If you’re unfamiliar with wine, you may think of a wine club as a bar where bottles go to chill and uncork, a place where young Merlots line up outside hoping to get in with fake ID’s reading, “Vintage 1985.” Despite this realistic image, wine clubs, in actuality, are aimed at the people who drink wine, instead of the actual bottles themselves. They may be oxymoronic, because they are based on organized drinking, an act that can potentially lead to knocked over tables and lamp shades on the tops of heads.More

  • A Fear of Wine Bottled up Inside You

     Scared of Wine I'll confess: I'm scared of wine. Now, it's not like I'm worried that a bottle of Chardonnay will jump me in a dark alley, taking my purse and leaving my shirt fatally stained. Instead, I'm intimidated by wine because ordering it comes with a specific etiquette, an etiquette that doesn't apply to any other form of alcohol.More

  • Hungary? Grab a Glass

     When I think of Hungary, I don't think of wine. I think of architecture, goulash, folklore, and a country that isn't very good at picking sides when it comes to world wars. Occasionally, I think of people named Helga.More

  • The Unsung Benefits of Wine

     If health came in a bottle, it would create mayhem at the local market. As people threw elbows and ran over one another with rabid shopping carts, bottles of health would fly off the shelves, secured in the clenched grip of hissing customers. People would push, shove, and use props - such as a crying child or a seeing-eye dog - to get their hands on this product.More

  • Wine During Prohibition

     I turned 21 in 1999, decades after the Roaring Twenties. Because of this, I can honestly say that I don’t know what Prohibition feels like. I can only compare it to an empty keg at a raging party or that feeling I got one night of high school when I watched a disgruntled bouncer cut up my beloved fake ID.More

  • Wine and the Roman Empire

     Anyone who knows wine knows that it has greatly impacted the history of our world. From Noah drinking it in the Old Testament, to legends of soldiers who used it as courage to fight during medieval times, wine has impacted conquests and wars. While this impact could have been more direct, with a very small glass of wine declaring itself Emperor of France, its subtlety was still felt; it is hard to refute the argument that, without wine, our world would be very different.More
