It’s Time for a Virtual OTBN

February 24, 2021 by BettyKaufman 6 Comments

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you probably know the acronym OTBN. It stands for Open That Bottle Night. This wonderful evening was created by the Wall Street Journal wine writers in 1999 as a time to get people to open up the very special bottles of wine they may have been saving for just a little bit too long. The date for OTBN is the last Saturday in February. In 2021, it’s time for our very first virtual OTBN. Read all about it here.

Can You Drink Pink in the Winter? Yes!

January 27, 2021 by BettyKaufman Leave a Comment

The other day I was talking to a colleague of mine about how much we both love Rosé. We talked about it being our go-to wine in the summer. But our discussion prompted me to open a bottle of Rosé when I got home from work, and I loved it. This raises the big question: Can you drink pink in the winter? Well, I certainly enjoyed it. But I decided to do some research to validate my enjoyment. After doing so, I can confidently say yes, you can drink pink in the winter.
