    Today's Friday Link is to a piece we wrote in 2010, Staying Sober at Wine Tasting Events like the Boston Wine Expo. 

    Are you going to the Boston Wine Expo this weekend? Tell us what you're planning to bring, do, and taste? And, check back afterwards to tell us your reactions to the event and if any of our tips helped.

    We tell you:

    What to pack to help you stay sober, collect information, and enjoy large tasting events. 

    How to spit without making a mess of yourself and the event.

    How to plan your approach to the event and….

    How to tell when you've reached your capacity!

    Here's what we've been writing about wine.

    Fine wine glasses that are dishwasher safe? Because Ed insists on washing our stems, I can't swear to it, but the manufacturer says that the Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Forte Collection can go in the dishwasher. We do put our barware from the same line through the dishwaser all the time.

    Do you have Christmas Holiday traditions that you enjoy? I realized how much I love to have a wedge of panettone with my first cup of coffee on Christmas morning. 

    Traditions can be comforting and sometimes we don't notice that we've created a new tradition, until we think about the little things we like to do on certain holidays. 

    This is a month of traditions no matter which of the many December holidays you choose to celebrate and to what degree you indulge in the festivity. Some people go to movies, eat chinese food, make a favorite meal. 

    What are your small traditons and personal ways to mark this festive season?

    Where do you like to go? 

    What do you love to eat?

    What events to you enjoy attending?
