The Best Wine Cellar in the World →
“I SERVED a 1920 Château Margaux last night,” the sommelier said to the two Frenchmen at the table behind me. It’s the kind of remark you might expect to overhear at some classy Paris restaurant, but not at a steakhouse in Tampa, Florida.
Bern’s is no ordinary steakhouse. As well as a menu that has four pages devoted to the sourcing and preparation of its steaks, Bern’s...

shamar | life: Bread and Wine →
2000-ish years ago a man sat with his friends in a small crowded room. And in the small crowded room, he pondered aloud about life and death and new life. The darkness gathered. Peace scattered. He knew this meal would be his last. But there he sat. With his friends. In a small crowded room.

Taking Notes: Drunk and Hungry: My First Day of... →
“Don’t get addicted to alcohol” was my mother’s morsel of warning — and only comment — when I told her I’d enrolled in wine school.
It’s a WSET course (Wine & Spirit Education Trust), Level 2 Intermediate, at Wine House in West L.A. I’m committed to it for the next few Saturdays, and…
Keep it up! We’re cheering you on!

Only in New Zealand...
I love fly-fishing. Its art.
I love wine. Its art.
Where could I get the two at the same time? A better question is, where would be the best place to do those two things, and how could I fit them together?
The answer: New Zealand.
Their fly-fishing is world-class. To spend a week or two on their pristine rivers is often the pinacle of a life in the water.
Their wine is also some of the finest...

John Milton - Sonnet 17
Lawrence of virtuous father virtuous son, Now that the fields are dank, and ways are mire, Where shall we sometimes meet, and by the fire Help waste a sullen day; what may be won From the hard season gaining: time will run On smoother till Favonius reinspire The frozen earth; and clothe in fresh attire The lily and rose, that neither sowed nor spun. What neat repast shall feast us, light...

Breath New Life Into Empty Bottles, Corks, and...
This is a subject I’ve been struggling with for a long time. During college I kept every one of the bottles I drank, putting them above the cabinets, eventually taking up the entire kitchen. I was determined to do SOMETHING with the bottles, corks, and beautiful labels. I tried making drinking glasses (see below) but my limited budget didn’t allow for me to utilize a more professional...

We're Here!
I love wine. I love both red and white wine. I even have a separate little place in my heart for each wine region. What I also love is everything that a love of wine creates in the world. Paintings, poetry, quirky labels, revolutionary harvesting processes, film, and a myriad of other “things” are created by people of the world to show their appreciation for what Hemmingway (possibly...
