#Cabernet Day Worldwide: 2nd of Sept- Also in Paris !

When wine and web get together, it doesn't give birth to a "sex on the beach" but rather to a universel love declaration: on the spot and on the web! 

September is knocking at our doors, school days for some, harvest for others, and going back to regular normal working life for most of us.
This is also when Rick Bakas has chosen to celebrate the day for Cabernet on social media. Why not ? We always need a good reason to learn more about wine and share our feelings. And, as one of the world most renown grape, there is no reason why we shouldn't give it a special day. And after all California grows cab but also web entrepreneurs.

Burger and Wine - Like a Light Dress on a Warm Body

I don't know if I am suddenly changing or slowly becoming everyday more of a burger addict, but a recent burger and wine late night gave birth to my new theory on the subject:

Fluid wine, the one that you drink and don't chew is what goes best with a burger, because as beer, it feels as if it is hydrating you, nicely rincing this heavy beef, strong onion and barbecue sauce. It is another miracle drink that will let you have this huge delicious burger without blinking.
