The Truth about
Sulfites and Headaches
Another Wine Myth
Bites the Dust

Man, oh man, you’d think this one would be over. I am very sorry that a few of you out there get screaming headaches from red wine. I understand they are very similar to migraines. I get severe migraines myself—the “go to the hospital or shoot yourself’ kind—so it’s not insensitivity. Just please stop foolishly blaming sulfites. You sound like a babbling freak.

  The Mystery of the Disappearing Sommelier
How Big Business is Killing Off Wine Pleasure


It’s a funny inverse relationship: as bigger, better “upscale” restaurant chains are coming to your neighborhood, a certain breed of restaurant service is disappearing: the sommelier, or wine steward.

  Wine Cocktails:
Not Your Grandma's Drink

Are you ready for this one? High-end cocktail lounges are making drinks with wine again—but this time, there will be no coolers and spritzers (although sangrias abound)! All over the country, wine cocktails are the big buzz in eateries and posh watering palaces. Most of these high-octane concoctions are Martini-glass oriented and are shaken, not stirred.
