Stay at home mom, lover of wine
I may have a cure for the Texas Hill Country drought. It requires wine, food, wonderful people, and a great deal of planning, but if we work together, I think we can pull this off. So far, I am two for two on the Wine event:Torrential rainstorm ratio. Last month, after the Dry Creek event, I […]
Read MoreLast Tuesday I cooked my final dinner in the former version of my kitchen. Since I moved in nearly nine years ago, actually since my then-boyfriend moved in ten years ago, I have wanted to make some major changes. The original tile and cabinets, the laminate countertops, the horrid pantry all had to go. I did the […]
Read MoreI love Steve Earle. I first fell for El Corazon, went back to I Feel Alright and then on to Transcendental Blues. “Ft. Worth Blues” was on repeat as I watched the moon over the Adriatic. I had people come up to me at the show at La Zona Rosa and say they had never seen anyone […]

And I can’t drop the last ten from my now 3-year-old “baby.” My sister has been eating the anti-inflammatory way since she discovered it, for the most part. She was motivated by arthritis […]
Read MoreLately I have been writing about a little of this and a lot of that but not a lot about wine. Lest I forget why many of you started reading, here are some of the highlights of my summer quaffing. 1) Champlain Valley wines. I was pleasantly surprised by what I was tasting. Think cool […]
Read MoreI feel guilty buying wine when I have a closet full, but my closet is filled with mostly reds. At this time of the year, I am into pink. Or crisp, bright whites but that is another post. When dry Rosé started coming back on the scene a few years ago, I was a happy girl. Love it. […]
Read MoreWithout question, one of my favorite things about wine is how it brings people together. From harvest to blending, tastings to dinner parties, community is central to the production and enjoyment of wine. One community that has grown around the love of one grape in particular is P.S I Love You. The producers and advocates […]
