If you travel with w**e, get one of these. It is the perfect way to fly with w**e. Flight after flight, my w**e arrives safely - all over the USA & Europe. Go ahead, buy some w**e and take it home. https://thew**echeck.com/ Tip: it collapses and can either fit in my large suitcase or my small one can fit in it to come home with just one bag.

I went to MN for some fun with friends and Private W**e Tastings! I discovered a speakeasy w**e cellar, toured the Arboretum at University of MN, ate great food, strolled around Lake Minnetonka and helped raise funds for some special young women in Kenya. We sipped great w**es from 1/16 W**ery of course but also Vermentino and Rosato from Benessere Vineyards and even a little 2012 Pinot from Rochioli. Thank you Lorene & Doug R.!

I judged w**es for the Sonoma County Harvest Festival for the first time. (I'm usually so busy!) There are many great w**e producers to enjoy in this AVA (American Viticultural Area) you should come to discover! We judged a full day, had a catered dinner at Bacchus Landing. Visit here and taste several small production w**e companies at this one beautiful location - often meeting the owners! On the second day, we tasted the best of each w**e-class for sweepstakes winners, to be announced soon! **e

I poured w**e at the Hamann Foundation fundraiser last weekend where I met Bakke aka . After introductions, she whipped out a fun lyric: "Got outta Philly Left my siblings behind Moved to California and started making w**e. Don't bother ME, I do anything I wish. I'm happy as a clam and drinking like a fish!" I wish you could hear her sing it! (and I hadn't even had my first sip of w**e, yet!) LOL **ecountryliving
