Celebrating Ten Years of Betty’s Wine Musings

January 13, 2021 by BettyKaufman Leave a Comment

I’ve been writing my Wine Musings wine blog for more than 10 years now! Each week, I enjoy figuring out what I want to learn more about and sharing it with you. This week, I’m sadly not feeling very inspired. The horrendous situation at the Capitol, coupled with my finding out today that I lost a college friend to cancer, is just not working for me. So today I’m going to go back in time and share some of my favorite old posts.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year!!!

I’m not a big believer in new year’s resolutions. I find that they stress me out. Who needs that at the start of the year? I know I don’t. But I thought it might be fun to come up with some best practices for wine for 2021. Best practices don’t mean you have to do them. They mean you know what to aim for.

Our “To Spoon or not to Spoon” Experiment

Several weeks ago, I wrote about putting a piece of silverware in an open bottle of sparkling wine to preserve the bubbles. I talked about the fact that some experts believe in this trick and some do not. The believers say that the spoon cools the top of the bottle, preventing the bubbles from escaping. The nonbelievers say that it doesn’t work. So the big question: To spoon or not to spoon. In my first blog article, I promised to test the theory and let you know what I discovered. And so I did!

Looking for a Good Team-Building Activity?

September 16, 2020 by BettyKaufman Leave a Comment

As we work from home, many of us aren’t feeling the camaraderie that comes with working with others, even if we’re on Zoom calls for hours a day. So, here’s the big question: How do you find a team-building activity that will help restore some of the goodness of being on a productive, fun work team?
