Hello,
Here we are half way through the month of March and I am only just able to sit down and write this.
That's a good thing as it has been a busy time since returning from a 2 week trip last month. While
there is some interesting news about that trip I want to first let you know what's happening in the
world of All I Do is Wine.
Our Early Spring (as I call it) session of Zita Keeley's Wine School is underway at the Melting Pot in
Hoboken. We are having some great wines and enjoying learning and sharing wine stories. While I
am planning for a Fall session I have had some interest in a Spring/Summer session. I will definitely
work on that if I have more requests so please email me as soon as possible if you think you would
like to join us then.
This week, we are filming the tv pilot for our upcoming cable tv show.. yes, about wine. We are
going to work hard to make this one of the most fun and enjoyable wine shows you have ever seen.
Keep posted for our news on that.
We have had some good press lately as well. After our NY Times story we were interviewed by
some of Hoboken's best and are excited to share those articles with you as well. Click here!
Now back to my holiday! We had 1 week on board the Celebrity Solstice to the Caribbean ..(ah yes.
warm and sunny!) It was a wonderful trip with lots of food and wine, as if I had to say that. This ship
definitely had the best food we have had on any cruise. One of the interesting things that I found
on this ship was that they have 22 Sommeliers.. at least they call them Sommeliers. Most of them
have had some basic foundation course on wine and therefore, can offer some assistance with the
wine lists. While this sounds like a good idea, and something that would be very helpful, in actuality,
it wasn't. We found a couple of them that definitely had knowledge and I would have been much
happier with being able to work with them exclusively. But, the way it works is that whichever
restaurant you are in and whatever table you are at there is a specific "Sommelier" assigned. I
much prefer the system on other ships where there is one educated Sommeiier who you are able to
request where ever you choose to dine. But, even with this one criticism, we found some good
wines and had a truly great experience.
As always, I welcome your comments and thoughts and wonderful wine stories so feel free to email
me at anytime.
Cheers,
Zita
