It's like a multi-vitamin for your soul...

“Oh my God, that girl is a freak of nature.  She drinks every day. I mean, come on, that can’t be healthy.”

We all know her.  The girl who doesn’t hesitate at picking up a wine menu…at four in the afternoon.  She’s the classy friend, the one who can explain the difference between a Chardonnay and a Riesling.  Maybe she comes from a European family? Maybe she was raised on Pinot for breakfast?

How is she not dead yet?

Well, not only is “that girl” not dead, she may very well be healthier than you. Read More »

You know you like it and can drink it by the bottle, but what else do you know about wine?

Do you pick out the perfect bottle to have with dinner by closing your eyes and randomly grabbing one? When someone says, “This malbec has a rich palate, but is a bit short on the finish,” do you just smile, nod, and agree? I thought so. It sounds like you need to meet Jon and Ted, the two guys behind 2 Guys Uncorked.

I mean, you already know one thing: wine is good. So, why not learn a few more things about it, so you can sound smart and enjoy wine even more than you already do (um, or maybe that’s not a good thing?). 2 Guys Uncorked review wine, but they do it in a fun, youthful way. They’re not pretentious, they don’t use words you can’t understand, and they actually review wine you can find.

In fact, all of the wines they review can be bought in either Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. Oh, and they’re also affordable. You won’t find any $200 bottles of wine on their site because most of the wines they review are in the price range of $3.50-$20. Anyone who reviews a $3.50 bottle of wine is OK in my book.

With an easy-to-use website, you can browse their reviews or search for specific wines. And if you have no idea what you want, you can just tell the wine guys your occasion. Use the pull-down menu to let the guys know you want a wine that is good for anything from “weekend fun” to “celebrating” to something for “making a good impression.” Read More »
