Kristen’s Last Wine Blog

June 4th, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Wine

As many of you are aware, my life has been (at best) crazy lately. My intent had been to continue writing blogs for RTC once things settled down. However, I have come to the conclusion that I will no longer be able to do so. At some point, I hope to have my wine blog up, but I suspect it will be some time. If you would like to know when it is live, please email me at kristen@sipaday.com and I will add you to the mailing list.

Avon Walk Update: The Countdown Begins

April 21st, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, anything goes, red tag crazy blog, rtcharity

As I’m writing this, it’s Sunday night and I’m overwhelmed and excited by the fact that it’s almost here. We’re close. 13 days left until the Avon Walk. For those of you who missed the first blog, the Avon Walk is a 39 mile walk taking place May 1 & 2 in Washington D.C. to help raise funds to fight Breast Cancer. I have to raise $1800 to be able to participate (a great goal!). And I’m so close. I have just about $350 to go (visit www.avonwalk.org/goto/kristenwood for more info).

Kristen’s Quick Wine Course Quiz

April 17th, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, Wine, red tag crazy blog

A looooong time back, Jaime asked me to write up a blog on why I’m taking my wine classes and how/if I felt they were helping. It’s taken me a while to get to an answer for that question because, well, the classes have been a big hungry wolf on my time. And the question won’t be simple to answer. But I’m going to attempt to give it a go in a couple of upcoming blogs.

(Incidentally, as an unrelated public service announcement, don’t forget that today is also tax day, so don’t forget to file)

Why are we having a Kamie Appreciate Day? I’m guessing if you have to ask, you’re new here. :) But I’ll gladly count my Top 10 reasons!

First Unofficial RedTagCrazy Gathering: Washington D.C.

April 12th, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, anything goes, red tag crazy blog

Red Tag Crazy. It has become, to many of us, more than just the ultimate place to shop (which it is). It has become a social site, a place to meet and learn about people all over the world. A place where we can be accepted for the women we are, as we are, where we can get comfort and advice and a laugh when we need it. It is not just “a” place, it is “the” place to be.

Join Kristen to Help Stop Cancer

April 1st, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, red tag crazy blog, rtcharity

It hides and fights and cuts quickly through families, societies, and countries. It is indiscriminate. It does not care about race, or color, or creed. It attacks the poor and powerful alike, the peace-keeping and war mongering with equal speed and veracity.

Kristen’s Top Five Wild and Wacky Wine Gifts

March 21st, 2009 by Kristen in Humor, Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, Wine, red tag crazy blog

Don’t you hate it when you have to buy a gift for friends who “have everything”? It’s even worse when those friends are wine lovers. You want to feed that passion, but it’s impossible to know what bottles of wine they already have in stock, or which wines they’ve tried and liked or didn’t like. It’s a minefield. So stop tiptoeing through it, and snag one of these gifts instead. They’re guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces – and yours.

How to: Use Up Leftover Wine

March 18th, 2009 by Kristen in How To..., Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, Wine, anything goes, red tag crazy blog

Nothing is more annoying than spending money on something and having it go to waste. Yet it happens all the time. We misjudge what we need. We misjudge our time. We don’t get the chance to finish what we started. Waste is sometimes a side effect of our crazy lives. And wine is no exception.

Step Out of the Box by Stepping Into Boxed Wines

March 15th, 2009 by Kristen in Kristen, Red Tag Crazy, Wine, red tag crazy blog

The wine world is full of new and amazing inventions nearly every day. Necessity breeds it. Not too long ago, it was unacceptable to use machines to do any wine cropping. Australia and other remote countries didn’t have much choice, however, due to lack of harvest labor. So they led the pack in inventions and soon their mechanizations became acceptable around the world, even in traditional areas such as Bordeaux.
