During the years I worked in Germany, I often found myself changing trains with little or no time to grab a coffee, a sandwich, or a drink at the convenience food stands in the larger train stations. (Mostly, that was not a bad thing ; Bahnhof  cafes generally do not serve very good food or drink.) Many stations, mostly in smaller towns, placed vending machines near the tracks, so we passengers could step from the train, hurry across the platform, and for a few Deutschmarks get a sandwich, a soft drink, or a beer.

This post launches an exciting new series here on Winston’s Wisdoms, “Wine Enthusiast Wine Cellar Design” in which we will feature real photos of our custom cellar designs, put to use! Today’s featured cellar is a Vintage View cellar utilized by one of our clients, Custom Millcraft at Ocean Prime restaurant in Orlando, Florida. The vintage view style makes the labels easily readable and creates a gorgeous display.

A team of professional deep sea divers have found rich catch, more than 1,000 sealed bottle of Port wine from two centuries ago. The Hungarian firm Octopus located on the floor of the Atlantic the lot of sealed bottles amid pottery from the early 19th century  off the coast of  Pernambuco, in northeastern Brazil. The area is littered with some 22 wreaks. One of the wreaks has been loaded with Portuguese products. The ship also had lots of decorative tiles and building products as well as supplies.

Image via Wikipedia It happened again. I saw my words on another blogger’s blog. For half an instant, before I could catch myself, my face twisted into a bitter scowl and an actual “Ugh!” escaped my lips. This is the first time I’ve actually heard one, having previously thought words like “Ugh!” only existed on paper! In that very same half an instant (granted, it was a long half an instant), I thought to myself how these Heather word/idea sightings always meet certain conditions: The blogger is well-established with a much bitter (whoops) bigger “following”than me.
