Coffee beans have up to 800 flavor characteristics that our senses can detect. Red wine, by comparison, only has 400. Most coffee connoisseurs prefer mild roasts because the longer a coffee bean is roasted the more characteristics that are burned off. Tasting coffee is an art form. To detect the most amount of flavor from the coffee bean, it must be tasted properly. Coffee tasting works much like wine tasting. As in wine tasting, coffee tasting has special terms, used to describe the taste of co …

As a wine lover and, more importantly, a wine educator, you will always hear me talk about or see me write about “wine appreciation.” Sure, you can make a joke like: “I appreciate wine, I drink it every day” or “I appreciate wine; especially when my glass is full.” That’s all good and fine. But I’m talking about something deeper, more meaningful and more beneficial. Therefore, as an extension of my blog - "Charles Springfield: Maneuvering Wine with Style" - and the various events I produce as th …

There are a ton of meetup groups with the word dinner in them. But I have found most to be laden with ridiculous rules, paying fees to the organizer or "pay in advance".

Age, occupation, where you reside is irrelevant to me! And I will always consider price range at any place chosen. My only " rule" ? Don't …
