Flava Fave: Rosemount Pinot Noir

June 10, 2009

There is something (besides fighting) the Aussies do extraordinarily well. So well, in fact, it could be hazardous to my health (maybe). Wine. Vino.

Back to the Blog

October 25, 2006

How do people blog every day? I’m a bit mystified by the time people have to devote to their blogs…I’ve been too busy enjoying this beautiful crisp weather to even think of spending one moment more than necessary in front of my computer. This is my time of year, and I feel alive. Too alive [...]
