Wine and Snickers

Do you like to read about wine and have a good chuckle at the same time?

To know heartsparkler, Jenny Helms, is to love her intelligent wit. The same goes for her oenophile husband, David Holstrom. Together they produce a “cheeky” wine newsletter that was highlighted as one of  “The 100 More Things We Absolutely Love” by The Oregonian’s Food Day writers.

Here is what Leslie Cole had to say about Guy du Vin’s cheeky wine newsletter:

You don’t need to be an oenophile to love the monthly Web newsletter by online wine retailer Guy du Vin (aka David Holstrom). Filled with poems, snarky observations and hilarious anecdotes, the newsletter eventually works its way around to opinionated wine advice. You might not agree with everything the Portland-based wine consultant says (such as, tasting California zinfandels is like trying to differentiate between Sweet’n Low and Splenda), but you’ll love the ride.
