Meet This Crazy Wino - Tara


Name:
Tara Maureen
Alias:
Not many, but for Evan, TL!!
Occupation:
Social Studies Teacher, Track Coach, Sean's Wife/ Laundry Lady

When you brag, you brag about: I brag about my ability to drink an insane amount of liquids. I can drink more than anyone I know! You give me a soda, I’ll have three. Want a glass of milk with that cookie? I'll drink the quart. This ability to drink an insane amount of liquids does lead to some issues when it comes to my ability to drink alcohol.

What would you do if money was no issue?
If money was no issue I would quit my job, and I would have babies, a ton of babies. I would probably be like that Dugard lady with 20 children. I would have concerts come to my house. I would have Phil Collins over for lunch. I would have people do our lawn, I would finish our basement, and I would be able to buy all the clothing in the world!!! Oprah would want to have me on her show, because my life would be so awesome.

Favorite Vintage:
2006 Bogle Pinot Noir
Why?
I love all things Bogle. You can buy a bottle of Bogle and feel fancy. More importantly, it is wonderful wine and it is well priced.

Your First Wine Experience:
I really don't remember, but when I really got on the wine was in Ireland 2004. I was studying abroad, and I would spend some crazy time in the library trying to figure out the entire history of Ireland, which was really hard, because, I am AMERICAN. So long story short, the GAS STATION down the street from where I was living with my fellow wine loving roommates, sold Ernest and Julio wine for 3 euro! Let me just say, there were many nights of Ernest and Julio, the Sopranos, and cereal eating. Now doesn't that sound just like Ireland?

What makes you a crazy wino? Sean and I have never missed a wine night! We are pretty serious when it comes to our wine drinking.

Personal Motto:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? I think?

Top 3 items on your Bucket List: 1. Being happy 2. Being happy 3. Being happy

Top Choice Actor to play you for Our Monthly Wine Club - The Movie: Sally Fields, as Sybil (multiple personality person for the 1970’s), I think it would bring a new strangeness to the wine club.
