Sparkling Red Wine
Time to get things started!
i've been waiting for posts to appear here (since i belong to the clueless-about-wine category), but no such luck! so i googled, and found this website which gave quite a clear cut basic info about wine, so i thought i'd share it! im only gonna post excerpts, but go read the actual thing!Obama thanks himself
It amazes me how much the media does not report on Obama. Could you imagine what would have happened if Bush had done the same thing? There would be endless video coverage, talk shows making jokes, skits on SNL, etc.Wedding in a Cave? I do!!
We decided to get married in a cave, bat and all - just kidding!! Well, there was a cast iron bat hanging from the entrance of this spectacularly decorated wine cave in Northern California. We invited our closest friends and family and we were absolutely delighted to have the most wonderful designer/florist/renaissance man - John James of San Francisco's John James Designs - transform the cave with his design for our romantic Banquet Celebration - resplendent with the colors of Burgundy, Platinum and overflowing with Sterling Silver Roses.We married in November, so he filled the space with gorgeous roses and fall foliage .
