Madame Lilly Bollinger
April 29, 2011
When asked when she drinks Champagne, Madam Lilly Bollinger replied;
"I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it—-unless I’m thirsty."

April 27, 2011
This is part 2 of my article aimed at helping businesses and wineries specifically get a handle on the little blue bird that is Twitter.
Part 1 can be found here.
Please not that I don’t claim to be any type of “social media guru”, (there are already far too many of them coming out of the woodwork right now), but what follows is what I have learnt from my own personal experiences throughout the Twitterverse.
5. Get to know the lingo!
Here are some of the words you’ll see around a little:
mistweet: a tweet in which one later regrets
tweeple: Twitter people, Twitter members, Twitter users.
tweeps: Twitter people that follow each other from one social media/network to another.
tweetup: when twitterers meet in person – a Twitter meet up.
twitosphere: the community of twepple.
twitterer: a user of Twitter (compare: tweeter).
twittering: to send a Twitter message.

Salmon with Thai Rice Salad Paired with Triennes Provence Rose
April 25, 2011
I’ve been trying to convince Mrs. Chislett to eat more Salmon, I personally LOVE IT, but for some reason she has always had an aversion to it. Maybe it’s an English thing on my part! Salmon seems to be a much more prevalent menu item over there!
I actually chose the wine first for this pairing, and then selected the recipe to match. The Triennes Provence Rose is a joint project between Michel Macaux and Aubert de Villaine, yes THE Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de Romanee Conti fame (for all you wine nerds out there).
The wine is made from Cinsault [SaN-so], a grape which you don’t tend to see too much in unblended form. It’s heavily planted in Southern France, and was famously crossed with Pinot Noir to create the South African Pinotage grape variety.
Provence is a wine region located in the far South-Eastern part of France, and is best known for roses, its warm climate, and wines which generally represent great value for money.
