Whine Blog Issue VII - Winning a Gold!
So its been a little while since I have sat and written 'a blog' and yes this started as a "whining" blog but I don't have much to "whine" about right now, because Ciccone Vineyards is flying high! I guess this is what Mary Lou Retton or Michael Phelps felt like standing on the Olympic Gold Medal stands receiving that red, white and blue ribbon with the shiny, heavy piece of gold attached to it. A sense of accomplishment, pride or even a little bit of greed, that feeling of wanting to stick you… Continue

Whine Blog VII - Gewurztraminer!
Guh - vertz - trah - meener Meaning - Spiced Traminer The history of this grape is a bit complicated. It is most commonly known for its German orientation. Hence the odd sound, hard to say name. But it originally started in Italy in a little village name Tramin. It is a pinkish hued grape that produces naturally sweet, light, crisp and fruity. It is a bit fussy about its soil and climate. It buds early, which means it is susceptible to frost, but it needs dry warm summers, but will do okay in… Continue

As for what this all means for us here at Ciccone Vineyards well it means getting ready for summer. We pruned t… Continue

Whine Blog Issue V - A Night In...
So if haven't been hiding under a rock then almost any newspaper, radio station and TV show is saying that we are in a economic "crisis" (there word not mine) so of course we are cutting back on things in our life which can be a good thing but let us not sacrifice a good time with good food, good friends and good wine! To plan a beautiful, classic and simple evening: 1. Pick a night - usually on a Friday or Saturday works but sometimes look at a Tuesday or Wednesday to break up the monotonous… Continue

Whine Blog Issue IV - Movies and Wine!
So I have been a little perplexed lately trying to figure out what to write about this time around. I got the first two issues out just fine it was almost like I had been waiting to let those things off of my shoulders. The third post was my little venture into education which I thought was okay but just not as fun as "whining" about things like customers, employees or even bosses! So I started brainstorming about things that I love like movies, books or magazines and how to attach them to wine… Continue
