Wine of the Month Club
Posted on September 26th, 2011 at 7:54 AM by admin

You may be wondering why joining a wine of the month club would be a good idea, and there are a few reasons. First of all, it gives you an opportunity to try new wines. This will broaden your horizons since you’ll come across varieties you might not try on your own. It also gives you an opportunity to socialize more. You could get your friends together and try each new wine together. You could have snacks, listen to music, and talk, and the wine would round it out and make the event more memorable for everyone. Having these kinds of social interactions with your friends can help you handle the stress of every day life, your job, your family, or anything else you may be dealing with. You’ll get a chance to relax and just have fun. The money spent on the club will be well worth it to you when you see the benefits.

Expressing My Love
Posted on September 5th, 2011 at 6:45 AM by admin

I love my coffee. Nothing beats the lovely aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. I had never failed to wake up early in the morning just to make myself and my husband a good cup of coffee before starting our day, ever since we got ourselves the coffee machine. I remembered reading lots of espresso machine reviews before we finally decide on the one that we bought. And we have no regrets. It was probably one of our best purchases in a long while.

Even our young son was occasionally awaken by the smell of our coffee in the early morning. He would then walk into the kitchen and sit at the dining table and look at us sipping our coffees. But he does not ask for a cup for he is still young and has yet to acquire the taste yet. Once he took a sip of my coffee and then pushed it away. He said he still prefer his milk and cereal.

There are some basic ingredients that you’ll need for a mojito including rum, sugar and a few limes. The special ingredient however is the mint. This isn’t going to be available at your liquor store and you may have to do a little hunting around for it. Not all grocery stores sell it, either, so be on the lookout.

Where to Buy Mojito Ingredients

When you plan on making a mojito, you can get just about everything you need for it at the liquor store – with the exception of the mint. If your local grocery store doesn’t sell mint, you might want to try and find a farmer’s market nearby that sells it. Otherwise, check the garden department of a retail store or a local nursery and buy the whole mint plant. You can plant it and keep generating the leaves on your own. That way, you can make the cocktail whenever you want.

Nearly daily we are asked about our recomendations for unique wine gifts and our answer always follows one simple rule, suggest only the best wines available anywhere.

One winery which we suggest all too often is Caymus Vineyards. Started by long time Napa Valley grape growers Charlie and Lorna Wagner and now managed by their son Chuck, Caymus has done a better job than any other winery in California at keeping quality constant increasing production.

Grapes for Caymus now come exclusively from two vineyards. The first is the 60 acre estate vineyard owned by the winery and the second is Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak which has started to become the “it” mountain vineyard in all of Napa Valley. Atlas Peak is only now becoming main stream for the average wine drinker, but it offers the roundest version of mountain fruit anywhere in Napa Valley because of the cooler temperatures.
