Tableleaf Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 (California) Review

Day 1 The Tableleaf Cabernet Sauvignon (California 2010) is quite good. The wine features heavy cherry and currant notes. There are strong but pleasant tannins as well. It’s neither wet nor dry and has a medium finish. This is wine meant to be sipped and enjoyed. Because of the heaviness in flavor and body it […]

Simply Naked Unoaked Pinot Grigio California 2010 Review

I avoided buying Simply Naked wine ($8) because the name is silly and the word simply is overused. Still, the fact that it’s unoaked was intriguing.

The Joys of American Cheese: Pasteurized Processed Cheese Food

For years now I’ve bought cold cuts and cheeses at the deli counter exclusively, turning my nose up at utilitarian cheese singles found in the dairy section.

General Mills Dulce de Leche Cheerios Review

Dulce de Leche Cheerios is total eye candy but not my favorite cereal. I like the dual colors and perhaps the little kid in me liked the idea of a caramel flavored cereal. The package is 12oz and was on sale for $2.99.On the plus side it features whole grain oats, corn and is lowfat. […]

Review: Vegemil Black Bean Milk

  The Vegemil Black Bean milk caught my eye because the flavor sounded fun. I like red bean products like red bean mochi so why not black bean milk? It’s a product of Korea. The 190ml (6.42 oz) bottle was $1.29 at Hmart in Manhattan (W 32nd between 5th and 6th Ave). The base is […]
