A Meal Without Wine is our blog about food, cooking, wine, and many things related to the enjoyment of life. “A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine.” – Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
What's This All About?
If you’ve visited this site before, you might notice some changes. We’ve re-focused on cooking as creativity; interesting meals; wine pairings. In short, more food, still some wine, but seldom wine reviews.
By the way, you won’t find a comments section here. We long ago grew tired of sniping, comment spam, and uninformed opinions. Read us if you enjoy what we have to say. If you have a polite question or comment, please feel free to contact us through the Who Are We section below.

Disclosure:
We write this blog for fun. We offer our honest opinions and commentary about the topics we choose to discuss.
Although the world runs on “grease,” none seems to flow our direction – no free wines, no free winery tours. Should we ever accept any freebies, and subsequently write about that wine, winery, company, or destination, we will disclose that information in our review. Our review will still carry our honest opinion – positive, negative, or neutral.
Secondly, we are not part of any affiliate marketing program. We get no compensation from referrals if we write positively about a wine, winery, destination, product, or service. We get no revenue from any link to any site we refer to anywhere in our writing.
Lastly, we have no control over ads that Google posts on our site. We don’t even know the content of those ads, as they change frequently and at random. To be honest, we don’t even look at what’s being advertised.
