Beer vs. Wine: Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn?
I never, and I mean never, go to the actual movie theater. So when I finally get the opportunity, I like to go big. Now, we are all adults here. And (hopefully) some of us can admit that some things are just a little bit more fun when booze is involved, especially if you are [...]

Bistro Jeanty + The Beer Wench Announce Napa’s First Beer vs. Wine Dinner
Napa, CA – Wine dinners are plentiful in wine country. Beer dinners, on the other hand, rarely occur. And dinners with both beer and wine on the table are virtually non-existent. But not anymore.

Infiltrating the Wine Bloggers Conference
This weekend I traveled out to the heart of California’s wine country to attend The Wine Bloggers Conference. Sounds weird, right — since “technically“, I’m not a wine blogger (details, details).

Pinot Gris = Pilsner
Light, crisp, refreshing and easy to drink — both the Pinot Gris wine varietal and the Pilsner style of beer are perfect beverages for warding off the sweltering heat of summer. This linear pairing is unique in that both beverages are almost identical in color. Both are very light & clear, ranging from pale to [...]

Gewürztraminer = Witbier
Thus far, the response to Project NO MAN’S LAND has been extremely positive. Which means, we have a green light to continue forward.

And instead of wearing camouflage and hiding in the bushes, I will be parading myself in bright neon colors and flashy sequins. Now. I know you [...]
