"I'm not afraid to lose you."

"...He's consumed by stress."

Jeff's woes don't end with the "Trace-formation". The transformation of Chaz from zen stylist to crazed client takes Jeff and Jenni aback at first. Jeff then realizes with his grand opening party only a day away he's over reacting to things because of the stress of it all.

Qupé Marsanne, Santa Ynez Valley

Click To Order

Radiating sheer color hues of charteuse and citrine in your glass, this mostly Marsanne and some Rousanne screams summer. Your initial encounter of the aroma will confirm it was aged in oak. A blend of almond and vanilla extract, both with a back drop of New York City vendor roasted coconut and floral honeysuckle. The taste borrows the same fragrance of almond along and adds honey roasted hazelnut, apricot and white peach. Lower in alcohol than other medium bodied wine it still gives you a medium bodied mouth feel with an equally smooth finish your palate. Qupe Marsanne has silky finish ending with an acidic kick of kumquat.

It's a Big Brother Eviction SIP.WATCH.TWEET™ Bye, Bye Dominic!...hopefully

It's an Eviction SIP.WATCH.TWEET™ with St. Supery Virtu '09 White Meritage

RIP Evel Dick

RIP Keith

RIP Thirteen [aka Cassi]

RIP [I hope] Dominic

Sure, he's cute, in fact if he didn't have such a baby face and wasn't a self-proclaimed 25-year old virgin who lives with his mother he'd be down right sexy. However, Dominic has made several BB errors in this game that has me on the Evict-Dominic team: 1. As soon as Keith was evicted, instead of asking the newbies outright who went against the alliance, he immediately went scurrying up to the veterans. 2. He sold out Adam and went total "two-faced", lying to his partner repeatedly without even asking him if he switched his "Keith/Porsche" vote. Meanwhile, it was Shelly all along who went against the get-rid-of-Porsche pact. 3. He has a girlfriend outside the Big Brother house, yet every time you turn around he's in the hammock with Dani, in the bed with Dani, cuddling with Dani and showering with Dani. Okay, I made the last one up but you get the picture. Lastly, 4. He made the ridiculous, fatal error and THREW THE VETO competition even though HE was on the block!

If I have my way, this is how tonight will go: Dominic will be evicted and Jeff will win POV. I know my last Sip Watch Tweet blog said I wanted the newbies to jump on board, but it appears they are just dead in the water. Actually, since Jeff & Jordan walked through the front door I was Team JJ. It would just be a better game if the newbies weren't allowing the veterans to mop the floor with them and use them like puppets in a puppet show. Other than Shelly being the Big Brother housekeeper, all the newbies are useless. They do nothing, win nothing and act as if they know nothing* about Big Brother. 

*I know it's supposed to be "anything" but I was sticking to the "nothing".

St. Supery Virtu White Meritage

The bordeaux-like blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is essential summer sipping. Shimmering sheer hues of banana yellow and amber in your glass. This white meritage gives a bouquet of pomelo, white nectarine and yellow peach. The mouthfeel is crisp with flavors of quince, mangosteen, tangerine and meyer lemon. The finish ends with a note of oak and lemon meringue pie.

Big Brother Reign of Terror Continues SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

With Hagafen '10 Riesling

Devoto Vineyard

Click to Preview: Rachel's Reign of Terror

A pox on Vile Brenchel

The newbies really have to get it together! They have not won a HOH competition, they threw a veto competition on the bullied advice of Brenchel sending Keith home. They didn't stick to the original newbie "renegade" alliance and sent Thirteen [aka Cassi Colvin] packing. The veterans are picking them off one by one and they are allowing it, even aiding them with it. It's as if they have never seen a Big Brother show. With the exception of evicted Thirteen, I could do a better job than any of the newbies.

Shelly is too "star struck" and is too busy idolising all of them instead of strategically allying herself with the best players. , Kaila kisses the veteran's butts-and not in a way where she forms an alliance with ONE couple. Kaila kisses the butt of Brenchel <Brendon & Rachel>, JJ <Jeff & Jordan> and Danni. Dominic has a hard on for Danni and doesn't get that she knows how to play the game...and HIM! You think she didn't learn anything from her dad? Please, the apple never falls far from the tree. Adam, oh Adam. I don't see he has any strategy at all, same with Lawan. Speaking of Lawan, I've said it on twitter, I'll say it here: Chill out with the stereotypical, loud, flamboyant, ghetto, Ebonics speaking Black gay guy. It's over, SO over and all of us are over you.

I have always been a fan of Jeff & Jordan since their first season. Loved them on Amazing Race and I love them now. I am absolutely Team JJ but its no fun to see they same witch, oops I mean house guest, win every single competition she plays. GET WITH IT NEWBIES...otherwise, GET PACKING!



Team Jeff & Jordan! Love Them!

Hagafen '10

Riesling Devoto Vineyard

Most non-Jews think "kosher wine" is just that syrupy sweet fermented grape juice they sell during Passover. Try this wine and you'll see kosher wine can be absolutely amazing. 

A fallacy some have is that all Rieslings are a very sweet wine. Yes, you will find most German Rieslings are indeed sweet, but Californian Rieslings slide down to the dry side of the taste spectrum. Napa Valley Hagafen is the latter and all of Hagafen wines are not only kosher but are from organically farmed grapes. 

This Riesling is very summer friendly, it even looks like summer in your glass. It glistens chartreuse and citrine color hues when pouring the chilled to 47F Riesling into your slightly chilled glass. It's passion fruit, guava, pineapple and lychee bouquet sends you on a virtual trip to the islands. Your palate is in for a similar treat that starts at your first sip. Mango, sugar apple and star fruit notes are well balanced and has just a touch of smooth sweetness. Full in your mouth with a long finish that has lingering whispers of papaya. 

Just remember, you don't have to be Jewish to drink kosher and you don't have to be vegan to drink organic, you just have to have good taste. *smile*

Jeff Loves Zoila



A Vulnerable Jeff?! Flipping Out SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

With Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Rose

Sarah's wedding is a-comin' so of course the gang is throwing her a bachelorette party! Where? A Las Vegas strip club! The boys [Gage and Jeff] looked so uncomfortable with the strippers. Oh, did I mention this was a FEMALE strip joint? Jeff admits his unease when he says "Sarah, was more comfortable with the strippers than we were...In fact, she enjoyed them. She may want to rethink this <marriage>."Preview and Judge for Yourself

We see a rare gem tonight, REAL melancholy emotions and vulnerability from Jeff. Not even when Jeff's ex-business partner and boyfriend, Ryan Brown betrayed him did we see Jeff at his most vulnerable. When Zoila doesn't immediately wake up out of anaesthesia, Jeff is visably worried and tearful. It looked as though he was almost in a panic, he paid for Zoila's cosmetic surgery for her birthday. Could Jeff be running through that in his mind? That if the worse should happen, it was somehow HIS fault? For the first time in four seasons, you want to just hug him and tell him everything will be okay. Click To Preview a Lovable Jeff

Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Rose

This Northern California sparkling wine is brought to us by the producers of the champagne house of Louis Roederer. All of the quality of Cristal Champagne, with half of the cost. The winemaker is no stranger to the House of Roederer, as he interned there while in school for both viticulture and enology. All grown up he now brings his education AND experience to the Roederer Estate as a master winemaker. 

Mostly Chardonnay grapes topped off with macerated Pinot Noir, giving it faint, almost sheer color hues of salmon and cotton candy. The tiny bubbles, indicating superiority, bring aromas of challah, panettone and dutch apple pie. The taste is complex and round with layers of citrus and vanilla notes; key lime pie, satsuma, kumquat and pound cake . On the finish it has flavors of fennel and star anise. The finish leaves your palate on an invigorating and pleasing acidic note.

Jordan winning HOH!

I am definitely pro-Veteran [with the exception of Rachel & Brenden] and my favorite team is Jeff & Jordan. I was overjoyed when Jordan won HOH! Although some say she shouldn't win because she already won Big Brother, I would be elated if her and Jeff took the win.

The more I watch on CBS and especially on Showtime After Dark, I am hating the newbies more and more. The only two newbies I like are on opposite teams. I like Thirteen [aka Cassi] and Adam. Dominic lost my respect for bailing on the newbies pact and prostituting himself to Rachel. Shelly lost my respect for voting against the Newbie allegiance and promise. I hated Porshe and Lawan from the get-go...

Because I watch After Dark, I already know who won the veto and if he/she used it but I won't give you any spoilers.

Baldacci Family Vineyards '09 Frederich Gewürztraminer

Don't mistake this for the sticky sweet German Gewürztraminer it is pleasantly bone dry. It gives translucent dandelion and canary yellow color hues in your glass. The nose is more perfume than a simple aroma, honeysuckle and pommelo dominates the fragrance. The taste has a pleasing stone-like mouth-feel with the flavors of Bartlet pears, candied ginger, Meyer lemon peel with acidic notes of pink grapefruit. The wine layers over a slight hint of nutmeg and quince on the back end. The finish is short and crisp and will leave you refreshed even in the heat of a summer day.

Say it ain't so Bravo! This is the LAST show of the season, I hope it won't go by the wayside as did 9 By Design [loved that show!]. Tonight both Kathryn and Jeffrey have problems with their clients blaming them for things that could not be their fault. Watching the previews with Kathryn speaking to her design coordinator on the phone I couldn't concentrate on her conversation because of her massive knockers! Kathryn is STACKED and loves to show them off! Jeffrey, poor Jeffrey. His client laid into him so badly it led him to say to his gorgeous partner Ross, "...There must be an easier way to make a living." Click Here to Preview Jeff's Frustration

I'm going to miss Martyn's "dahhling", Nathan and Mary's design aesthetic, Kathryn's love of alcohol and one of the cutest couple in reality TV history, second only to Jeff and Jordon of CBS' Big Brother-- Jeffrey and Ross. I'm begging Andy Cohen, please renew the MDD so we can continue to Sip Watch and Tweet Million Dollar Decorators!

Now time for the SIP of Sip Watch Tweet! with Robert Foley Vineyards '09 Pinot Blanc

This Pinot Blanc has pale straw and goldenrod color hues in your glass. The aroma a fragrant blend of cherimoya and mango. The nose on this wine is nothing but fruit which continues onto the taste, pure fruit. A soft fruity blend of lychee, kiwi, sugar apple and on the back end, banana. The mouth-feel is mineral and silky, the finish is long and leaves a slight lingering of mango. It's smooth and satisfying and a great summer wine choice.

Tonight we see Ames [Portfolio Manager from New York City], Ben [Winemaker from Sonoma], J.P. [Construction Manager from New York State] and Constantine [Restaurateur from Atlanta] going on their "hometown" dates. We will see the men with their families and Ashley answering questions from protective friends and family. She will definitely be on the hot seat, I wonder how she will do.

Ashley has had quite the roller coaster ride, it seems almost every episode she's doubting, crying, sulking, lamenting about something. Ashley appears to be extremely high maintenance and emotionally unstable I actually feel empathy for the men of this year's Bachelorette. Although, to me the contestants of this show and The Bachelor usually fall into these three categories: Fame whores looking for their 15 minutes of fame, those promoting their business/brand and those who are stone cold nuts looking for a husband/wife in 15 minutes. So, they kind of get what they deserve...

Now for the SIP of SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

Bonny Doon '10 Vin Gris de Cigare

This gorgeous Rose is a blend that includes Grenache Blanc which is one of the reasons why the color is so sheer. It glows a barely there translucent mix of carnation pink and pale apricot in your glass. The aroma, a seductively sweet fragrance of Hawaiian yellow ginger blossoms, strawberries and basil. Almost summer in a glass with it's light bodied mouth feel and summer fruit notes. You'll taste layers of Bing cherries, dragonfruit and Fuji apple. The finish is lush yet crisp and leaves you with pommelo and clementine on the back end.

Big Brother 13 SIP.WATCH.TWEET™ With Red Bicyclette French Rose

8pm on CBS

You've got the Newbies: Adam [The Loud Rocker], Cassi [Thirteen. Because she looks like the character Thirteen on FOX's House], Dominic [The cute 25 year old virgin], Kalia [The self-proclaimed "real life" Carrie Bradshaw], Keith [milquetoast religious man], Lawson [The LOUD, flamboyant gay], Porsche [the less annoying, blond Rachel] & Shelly [The Southerner]

AND...

The Alums: Dysfunctional father and daughter Evel Dick and Danille, the cutest couple EVER Jeff and Jordan, the most annoying couple EVER Brendon and Rachel. 

I have to give them all credit because they have nothing to do when there isn't a competition so they make up games. You can see it on "Big Brother-After Dark" from 9p-12a/PST on Showtime. Games like: "Big Booty, Big Booty", "Never Have I Ever" and too many drinking games to keep track of. Oh! They also made music with their house version of STOMP, the Broadway musical, using pots, pans, coffee beans, etc...

Tonight's episode will be "Power of Veto", which means the couple nominated for house eviction [Porsche and Keith] will have the opportunity to VETO the current Head Of Household's vote. At which time, Rachel [who is current HOH] will have to nominate two replacement nominees...Who will be that much closer to winning half a million dollars and who is close to going home empty-handed.

Now on to the SIP of SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

Red Bicyclette '07 Rose is a blend of mostly Syrah, some Grenache and just a hint of Cinsault from Herault, France. This rose glows absoutely gorgeous color hues of pinkish light rose and colbalt red in your glass. It's not exactly translucent, yet not particularly cloudy. The nose is a beautiful blend of highly perfumed summer berries. The taste is that of mostly red fruit; pluots, red plums, strawberries, raspberries and a hint of cranberry. It finishes nicely with the tart flavors of currant and elderberry on the back end. Perfect summer sipping because of its refreshingly smooth body and softly crisp finish.

Now on to the SIP of SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

The Ribolla grape is extremely popular in Italy yet extremely overlooked in the United States. Grown in Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeast Italy the Ribolla's crisp notes are pleasantly refreshing in the warm summer days and nights. 

La Tunella Ribolla glistens hues of translucent cornsilk and goldenrod color in your glass. The nose begins with top notes of mango, middle/top notes of apple and apricot. This Ribolla is wonderfully full bodied with layers of summer fruit flavors. Nectarine, kiwi, white peach and meyer lemon. The finish is long and leaves a pleasant note of orange blossom honey.

Although no longer flipping houses, you can rest assured he is always on the verge of FLIPPING OUT.

And from the sneak peek of the season, it looks like it has had no impact on his personality. Check it out: CLICK HERE

This episode doesn't disappoint, he attends what he thought would be a private dinner party; turns out not only are there a lot of people, as Jeff said "This is like a Meet & Greet. That's work. And I get paid for that." He was ambushed, or as he stated "Sucker-punched" by a woman who paid for his hotel lodging only to have Jeff cancel the engagement...Yes, this is going to be good...

Feudo Maccari Saia- Nero d'avola

This is a sensational Sicilian wine, especially for the cost. Made with 100% Nero d'avola grapes Saia is almost an opaque dark orchid blended with deep violet color hues in your glass. The nose has aromas of black currant, marion berry and mint. The fragrance compliments the flavors of dark plum, blueberry, blackberry fruit with hints of allspice and nutmeg intermingled. The finish is lush, full bodied, silky and long with a lingering taste of red cherry and white pepper.

During the summer months I usually make my grandfather's Sicilian Sangria recipe but last night I tried something different. I'll share it with you and hope you try it and love it as much as I did.

"Dru is like a bubbly glass of...something."*May I suggest a glass of 1990 Pol Roger?* "This house is like Taco Bell meets...Taco Bell." -Mary McDonald

It's a good thing Dru told Mary she would do whatever she wanted her to do. I'm no interior decorator/designer but I do know I wouldn't put a GYM right off the entry way. WHO DOES THAT?! ...Dru, apparently.

This Soave has hues of almond and cornsilk in your glass. From the Veneto region in Italy, made with 100% Garganega grapes. On the nose you will have the aroma of pure citrus peels, meyer lemon, blood orange and pommelo. Upon your first sip you feel a surprising silkiness to it, mineral-like. The flavors are much more subtle than the fragrance it gives us. Hints of cherimoya, mandarin and pepino melon lightly coat your palate. It leaves with a soft honey-like finish. 

Most American wine novices have never had or even heard of Soave. However, if you enjoy Sauvignon Blanc I urge you to try this Italian wine.

I loved this show from it's season premiere! Admittedly, I hated Mary and Martyn [their personality, not their designs, no one can deny their amazing talent] in the first few episodes but all of sudden Martyn began to "charm me". Last week's episode I turned mid-way through and all of a sudden, liking Mary kind of snuck up on me and now I adore her.

Your sense of smell is delighted by both bing and rainer cherries, plum flesh with a hint of a bouquet of carnations. The nose prepares you for the fruity ride your mouth will be on in your first sip.

SIP.WATCH.TWEET™ Mob Wives with Ermacora '09 Friulano

I don't like this one little bit. The only thing keeping me from a dark depression because of the ending of Mob Wives this Sunday is they have already signed on for a second season. As a "Housewives Reality TV Junkie" I find Mob Wives at the top of their game. It's raw and real emotion with raw and real issues. They don't live on the Upper East Side. They don't have mansions the size of the Chelsea. They aren't "ladies who lunch"... I started the season liking all the wives for the most part but slowly and surely I lost affection for Karen Gravano. Especially with her ongoing [even if on again off again] fight about Drita marrying Lee [Karen's ex-boyfriend]. Love, Love Drita. Renee grew on me and Carla's so easy going how can you not like her?

Well, it appears the Karen/Drita saga will come to blows this Sunday. It is going to be the fight heard around the [Staten] Island. Sunday, June 26 at 8p/EST on Vh1 After the season finale we'll have to get our "Mob Wives Fix" from their tweets on Twitter and wait for the Season 2 Season Premiere.

We are sipping Friulano from the Friuli northerneastern region of Italy. The Ermacora Friulano glistens with transparent wheat and light honeydew hues in your glass. The aroma embodies summer with top notes of kumquat, mandarin, lilly of the valley and lilac blending into the bottom notes of thai basil and thyme. A little rounder and fuller than an Italian Pinot Grigio the Friulano coats your palate with layers of fruit blends: apricot, quince and starfruit. Giving way to layers of culinary herbs like sage and verbena on the finish, which is a long clean mineral/stone-like finish. The Friulano is great alone or with antipasti. It is perfect for summer sipping.

Let's raise our glass of Ermacora Friulano and salut to the last episode of Mob Wives this summer.

Pumpkin Seeds Renee?

Renee stopped the wives eating and drinking at brunch when she announces her ex-husband Junior is going to move in to her home until he goes to prison. Mouths at the table were still open in shock, disbelief and awe when Renee, very sincerely says she knows he loves her because he brought home pumpkin seeds for her. To which, Karen says "PUMPKIN SEEDS RENEE?! I mean really!" My favorite "Mob Wife", Drita says "I'd be flicking <pumpkin seeds> them at him!" [One of the many reasons I love her!] ...to make matters worse Karen let it slip that he was there last night and then confessed he'd already been there for a week! Drita put the truth out there, as Drita always does and said, "You're in love with him that's the bottom line. It's not for <your son> AJ it's for YOU."

It's no wonder, Mob Wives have signed on for a second season. It's real, it's family, it's friendship, it's drama, it's humorous, just plain good TV! I love it! So this Sunday, SIP Dolcetto d'Alba, WATCH Mob Wives on Vh1 and TWEET along!

Deep dark cobalt violet in your glass this almost full, medium bodied Dolcetto is begging to be enjoyed with family and friends. Like with Amarone and Barolo it needs decanting for a few hours before truly enjoying the taste and aroma of this wine. Upon your first pour you'll notice the aroma of burnt dark berries mixed with sweet star anise. Enzo Boglietti's Dolcetto has a smooth and silky mouthfeel with power packed flavors of  figs, dates, bilberries and currents. Slightly tannic with hints of gogi berry and cardomon that seem to  linger on the finish.
