Wine Tasting 101 At House Wine

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a Wine Tasting 101 class which was a lot of fun. The class is held every Tuesday at House Wine, which is located at 408 Josephine St. in Austin. It’s located right off of Lamar and Barton Springs.
If you’ve never been to House Wine, it is a very cool wine bar that is located inside an old house. When I first saw it, I wasn’t even sure if it was the right place. I think it’s really …
We Made It To Austin!
As you all know, my girlfriend and I decided to move to Austin this past weekend. The move went really well and we didn’t have any problems along the way. The drive took us about 16 hours total over the course of two days. It was long and boring but at least we made it.
So Long Arizona
Anyways, I wanted to say farewell to Arizona. I lived there for a year and a half and managed to visit the entire state. I saw the Grand Canyon a few times, …
Moving To Austin In A Few Weeks

If you haven’t noticed, it’s been pretty quiet around here for the last week or so. The reason is because I have been swamped with getting ready to make the move to Austin, Texas. The plan is to leave on the 28th and it is rapidly coming up. It seems like this month is going to fly right by.
Anyways, my apartment is starting to look like the picture above. I always seem to forget how many little things are involved when it comes …
5 Reasons Why I’m Moving To Austin
As I mentioned yesterday, today’s post is devoted to the 5 reasons why I have decided to move to Austin. I loved the city and wanted to point out some of my favorite things I saw while I was there for my 3 day stay.
1. The Live Music
People are not lying when they say Austin is the live music capital of the world. I was amazed at how many different places feature live music, even on the weekdays! There are a ton of music venues to go to shows at as well as the bars. A majority of the bars on 6th street all had a live band, especially on Thursday and Friday night.
It was awesome to catch a few bands while we were there, as Phoenix does not have much for live music. I really look forward to going back to catch some more live shows.
A Look At Austin, Texas
Now that I am rested up and ready to start out the week, I thought I would go back and recap my vacation. Austin has always been a place I wanted to visit and I managed to see just about everything I wanted to see while I was there.
First Impression
When first arriving in Austin, I was pretty excited. It was nice to see grass and trees again, instead of the usual cacti and dirt. It reminded me a lot of Wisconsin, except it was 68 degrees outside in the winter. I would say that Madison, Wisconsin and Austin are very much alike in just about every aspect. A large college, the capital building, and water nearby. Very cool!
Downtown Austin
My favorite part about Austin was the downtown area. It felt much more like a big city than Phoenix. There are more tall buildings and people walking around than downtown Phoenix. It actually has some life to it.
