A Great Way to Finish a Tasting
I don’t want anyone to think that I don’t work hard amassing my notes for articles when I am at my local wine shop, The Fine Wine Source in Livonia, Michigan. I was there meeting an Instagram wine blogger that … Continue reading
Two From Canada
It is amazing how lifestyles change in a matter of less than two years. We definitely used to go out, much more often. We now eat in, way more often, but the silver lining is that we are actually drinking … Continue reading
More Forgotten Wine
