Wine competitions are a sport, right?
We’ve all heard of wine competitions right? In one of my earliest Weekly Blogs, I shared a secret confession with you – I’m uber competitive, but mostly with myself! So it probably will not surprise you I’m going to compare wine to sports! What the heck, has she lost her mind? She is a true […]

Me, a podcast guest, no way!
Daily Confessional: I must confess I am not an expert at social media and I cringe when hearing my voice on any recorded medium. But today. Today was different, today was so much fun. Today I just let it all go and enjoyed every minute. Minute of what, you ask? Today, I had the honor […]
It’s the Most Wonderful Wine of the Year!
Daily Confessional: Sing it with me everyone! “It’s the Most Wonderful Wine of the Year!” (To the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”). Ok, let’s get real, I don’t have a favorite wine, I love too many of them, but I do have my most favorite event of the year! Feast […]
