Wineaux: Adding to the word hoard of wine lovers, and writers

2 months ago | davisenterprise.com | Susana Leonardi

Our workdays often end, late afternoon, with a streamed episode of some crime series, like our current favorite, New Zealand's “Brokenwood.”Two of the characters, one who works a vineyard, spend a lot of time enjoying red wine together.
Wineaux: The constant challenge of changes

Feb 6, 2025 | davisenterprise.com | Susana Leonardi

I'm drafting this column at 8:30 a.m., drinking oolong tea at Delta of Venus. I've finished my breakfast (an everything bagel with pesto and a carrot muffin). I'm having a hard time focusing on the blank page, preoccupied as I am with the announcement that greeted my arrival: no more eggs or potatoes; just a short, café-style menu — you know, bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, granola and yogurt.

Wineaux: Should auld acquaintance be forgot? No!

Jan 6, 2025 | davisenterprise.com | Susana Leonardi

I love some things about holiday time — the lights, the Christmas trees, the carols (the “real’ ones, like “The Holly and the Ivy” and “The Coventry Carol”), the family Christmas cookies, hearing from absent friends. And I loathe some things as well, especially the whole shopping thing: endless ads, lists of “perfect” gifts, days-to-Christmas countdowns, Santa appearances. But whether I'm in loving or loathing mode, when the holidays are over, I'm relieved. Back to normal life (whatever that is).
Wineaux: Holiday wine pairing in a different key

Nov 24, 2024 | davisenterprise.com | Susana Leonardi

Gift-giving season is upon us. In my family, not only do we have the usual holiday celebrations but also five birthdays. Not all gifts can be wine, of course, but for the wine lovers on your list, it's really perfect. You can find a bottle in any price range; unlike so many gifts it won't languish in a cupboard or drawer; and the bottle can be returned or recycled. Even more festive than a single bottle: a nice “pairing,” of some sort.
Wineaux: Fun finds for festive fall feasts

Oct 28, 2024 | davisenterprise.com | Susana Leonardi

When pumpkins, goblins, ghosts, ghouls, gravestones, gigantic spiders and skeletons make their annual appearance in neighborhood yards, I start musing about holiday wines. I'm not a fan of the gimmicky Halloween wines, usually cheap dark reds with “scary” labels. But they do remind me that Thanksgiving's on its way. Thanksgiving, despite its sketchy origins, is my favorite of the fall feasts — for one thing, I have a lot to be thankful for. But my real reason?
