Sonoma, CA - a whole region of the country dedicated to making good wine. Anyone who reads this blog will understand how much I liked this place. And Landmark Vineyard's pinot noir, wow, all I can say is WOW!! If I win the lottery (or ever start playing the lottery) cases and cases will occupy my basement (which I would start calling a wine cellar if I won the lottery).
For cheap wine drinkers like me, But I Have A Law Degree has a great weekly column with her own non-connoisseur "reviews" of grocery-store wines. It's a fun read, check it out if you have a chance.
RANDOM LINKS:
*Land of Nod (the awesome children's furniture/toy company) just relaunched their catalog and started a great new blog - Honest to Nod - full of crafts, food, and other tidbits. They asked various bloggers to contribute, so you can check me out over there. Stop by and say hello!! It's a really beautiful space.
*Mexican cheesecake - yum!!!!!
*The photos on this blog are dreamy and beautiful and inspiring and magical and, well, just look. please look (link courtesy of Decor 8).
*So it's been a tough few weeks in DC - record high temps (120 heat index with humidity, yikes!) and constant news coverage of the debt ceiling debates. Last week I heard this song and felt a little better (just a little).
*Cheese pencils. Sounds weird, but what a great idea.
*I'm really digging these paintings, especially the first one.
Thank you so much for the shout out! Meanwhile, your pictures are making me yearn for some high quality, non-grocery store wine. Thank goodness I have that Santa Barbara trip coming up. :)
