Adventures in NYC

After my experience at Brooklyn Uncorked this week, I’m proud to say I live in the borough the NY Times calls “ground zero of the artisanal food universe.” Not that I’ve doubted the BK food scene, but I’m continuously impressed with the quality, and more impressed by the diversity,...

Salud Rias Baixas! Sips for Daytime

When I think Spain, I think a lot of things–Paella, flamenco, sultry weather, dark men, sangria, language barriers…the list goes on. One thing I don’t think: crisp,light, fruity, white wines....

Springtime = Sangria Time

About Laura Uncorked

I love wine and I love life. This blog is a hodge-podge combination of the two. Like many 20-somethings, I’m still figuring out just what I do (and don’t) know about vino. Too often, realizing how much I didn’t know gave me a headache worse than the morning after two bottles of Bordeaux, so I created Laura Uncorked to deliver a helpful, humorous window into the wine world. Whether I’m enjoying a fine young beaujoulais, bargain-basement boxed wine, or just trying to figure out how to open Pinot Grigio without a corkscrew after a long day at work (Hey, we’ve all been there), the results will be here. Drink up. Cheers, LB
