• Happy Anniversary Baby Deux

  As I explained in my article “Happy Anniversary Baby,” my husband and I headed to one of our favorite Dallas wine stores, Pogo’s Wine and Spirits, in early September   to shop for delicious wine to celebrate our upcoming October Anniversary.

• Happy Anniversary Baby

  In early September I suggested an anniversary plan to my husband that he accepted. Rather than exchanging material gifts what I wanted most was quality time with him, so I suggested we head down to Pogo’s (one of our favorite Dallas wine retailers!) to buy a really good bottle of Bordeaux or Châteauneuf-du-Pape and I…

• Spending the Summer of Riesling in Alsace

  The last time I participated in #Winechat was in May when we were exploring the wonderful wines of Cairdean Estate. (Click here for review) I was looking forward to once again joining the conversation, especially with a lovely Riesling from Alsace.  #Winechat is hosted by Protocol Wine Studio. It is an hour long educational wine…

• Tour de France for Winelovers

  I taught indoor cycling classes for many years. July was my favorite time of year because I would adapt stages from the Tour de France into an hour long killer cycling class. I particularly liked to simulate the climbs through the Pyrenees Mountains. Though I still feel cycling is the best form of cardio, due…
