I have sixty-seven pairs of shoes (not including 14 pairs of flip-flops) but wear almost the same two pairs every day. Many of the shoes do not match any clothing I currently own. I told Gary Coleman I did not want his autograph. Well, he asked, and I was this very bratty teenager who was WAY too cool to say…

My Atlantis
So here it is…MY VINEYARD LANTIS…well, that is, as soon as escrow closes. But it’s going to happen very, very, very soon. A change in homesite was FINALLY approved and now we just have to dig for some water, construct a well…and then it’s mine. ALL MINE! If you look all the way to the back of those really tall trees…that’s the Northern perimeter…

2006 R Winery Bitch Grenache Barossa Valley $10 Could you really get more bang for your buck than showing up to a soiree with this little zinger as a hostess gift? No. No. You couldn’t. I bet you can count five people off the top of your head you want to give this to. I mean of course you would…

The Lizard Whisperer
Maquis Lien 2004 Colchagua Valley $18 Okay, why did I buy this wine? I’ll fess up, come closer; I’ll mutter it to you softly. I LIKED THE LABEL! I really do go up and down the wine aisle and pick wines based on the label. I can’t help it. I know you do it too. When faced with a ga-gillion…

My Crazy Place
Ummmm…I have a serious problem. It’s my kitchen utensil drawer. Ridiculous isn’t it? Okay, so I use the stuff in this drawer probably more than any other stuff in my house (except for the vacuum, toilet paper, my hairbrush, my toothbrush,) but you get it…this is a very busy place. But just because it’s a highly popular spot doesn’t mean that…

Syrahalicious
2003 Cooper-Garrod Santa Cruz Mountains Finley Vineyard Syrah $24 Syrah, one of my favorite, favorite wines. Same grape variety as Shiraz in Australia. It’s rare to come across a Syrah that is a total disappointment. This one is no different. Syrah is known for its fruit and peppery flavors. This particular wine was neither super fruity nor super spicy but…
