A little more about He and She

HE is a former TV sports producer who turned to the more inspiring world of education  – and HE’s a constant foodie. SHE is an actress, author, producer, stuck-like-a-magnet to HE kind of gal.

HE has spent a lifetime tasting wines and making taste distinctions for every sort of food and wine imaginable. SHE thinks fine dining is anytime you sit rather than stand to eat your Cliff Bar.

HE has perfected the art of the sandwich for tailgating before USC football games. SHE has been to one only one USC game and thinks USC band leader Art Bartner is God. (What football, where?)

HE married her to get her family’s spaghetti sauce recipe (3 generations, thank you) – which His misguided soul thinks he can tinker with. SHE married Him for His wine collection, His stunning memory for restaurants, and becuase he does his own laundry.

He Shoots, He Scores…She Sips, She Snores….

No doubt, He is the more wine experienced and more wine sensitive of the two.  She is usually asleep and snoring w/in 40 minutes of her first sip of wine.  He has time to sniff and taste and consult with his tastebuds about every little thing he thinks he tastes.  She’s likely to doze off, so she’s only got a minute to tell you what it’s all about.  She’ll make it brief and to the point.   Stay tuned.  The 2005 Blind Pinot Noir tasting notes are coming right up!

The “He said…She said” Wineblog

Melinda and Barry and a few of their favorite friends…Vintage California RedsHe is a man with a refined palate — She thinks he’s making it all up.     He sips wine and tastes fruit, foods, herbs, earth tones.  She sips wine and it tastes like, well, wine – but she can tell you the personality behind the wine in just a few words.  Check in often to see how their battle of wits and wines will leave you laughing and asking for more.
