Birthday Surprises! Mastro Scheidt: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon
What’s a birthday without a surprise?
In this case, on a Birthday ski trip to Mammoth where we stayed nearby at Lake Crowley, there were several terrible ones: I fell just before we drove off and couldn’t do stairs well or ski, my son fell the day before and had stitches in his elbow so if he skiied at all it had to be below his level, and my husband was sick and spent most of the trip in bed asleep.

Get on the Good Foot Via Twitter Events
Did you miss me? After a rather long holiday hiatus, it’s time to “Get on the Good Foot” again and get my blog on!
First up: ever wonder how in the world to participate in a Twitter event?
I know I talk about doing wine twitter tasting often on this blog because I do a few of them each month (for example #WineStudio on Tuesdays and #WineChat on Wednesdays). But what exactly are the nuts and bolts?
This has come up because an online community that I am part of “Healthy 2015” is using Dr. Mark Hyman’s book, The 10 Day Detox Diet.
Because his The Blood Sugar Solution Paperback edition came out 12/30/14, he is hosting a New Year’s discussion on health, wellness, recipes, food, nutrition and all things health TODAY at 4pm PST.
And he invites us to bring our comments and questions and to get ready to win some prizes including signed copies of the Blood Sugar Solution book to participants chosen randomly!
Cheers to Nat’l #ZinDay W Nov 19!

Not everyone knows that there is more to Oregon wine than the Willamette’s famed and lovely Pinot Noir. And not everyone appreciates Continue reading
