A LITTLE TRIP INTO PORTUGAL...
Are you dreaming of an island? Or at least cliffs, mountains, a coastal strip? Yea, we’ve been binging on Game of Thrones, and now I’m slightly dreaming of sipping some chilled white wine overlooking the ocean on the cliffs in King’s Landing, braided hair and my silk chiffon dress dancing in the breeze
UNCORKING THE NORTH FORK..
When your friend says, “Let’s go visit some wineries in Long Island”, you don’t ask questions – you just go. Especially ‘sans kids’… need I say more?
BUBBLES GLORIA-OUS BUBBLES
I had a recent visit to the Gloria Ferrer vineyard, sans kids could I just add. It left me falling in love with the bubbles once again. It’s not typically what I reach for, but this visit left me thinking I should be drinking more of it, especially the Carneros Cuvee. Pause for a second and picture me holding a glass of bubbly without kids jumping, screaming, pulling or asking me for anything. B-B-B-back to reality.
HELLO, LODI! NO WHINING HERE!
Lodi, CA. MY friends look baffled when I tell them where I’m going. My kids ask if they have a Target in Lodi. “Can you get us presents?” Really, they don’t care – they just want something shiny! And pretty much everyone else only thinks of Napa when they hear ‘California wine country.’
CHEAP AND EASY! (PART ONE)
When traveling, try not to end up at a ‘dry’ place on #nationaldrinkwineday! Please. Although, let’s be honest, what day isn’t #nationaldrinkwineday? Especially for this mother! Magic kingdom would earn the title ‘happiest place on earth’ if it actually had wine!
WHAT'S ON THE MENU?
In the midst of my studying, I was briefly interrupted by the TV. As a parent, I would never allow this kind of studying, but hey, I’m the boss.
COMMON CORE WINE
Lately, my kids have been bringing home math homework that is, in ‘plain english’, a mother’s nightmare.
WINE SHOPS, TOY SHOPS AND MORE...
Recently, while in the midst of chaos in the middle of Toys R us, I got to thinking why isn’t there a wine bar in the toy store.?
