IT IS OK TO WINE!






...I will be honest...there are few things better than sitting down with a bottle of wine! I literally have never met a wine I didn't like! I enjoy every aspect of wine...tasting, smelling, swirling...uncorking, pouring, sipping, pairing, loving, laughing, smiling, conversing...you get the idea!!

We Interrupt This Marriage To Bring You The Superbowl Season!!

Be still my beating heart...it is that time of year again! Insert sarcastic tone and grin! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy watching my boys play football and going to the occasional game at Gillette and even watching it on TV but for the next 3 months straight, my whole world will be uplifted to the 50yd line! My husband is a youth coach, my oldest son plays freshman football and my youngest son plays youth! There are also 2 fantasy leagues going on during this festive time and I have somehow gotten my self thoroughly involved in both the youth program and now the HS Boosters program by running the concession stand!! Lord give me the strength...and what you ask does this have to do with WINE? Well EVERYTHING! Because if it wasn't for that deliciously smooth, irresistibly fulfilling liquid....I wouldn't be able to withstand the months that lay before me!! To know that at the end of an evening filled with cheering and yelling, wining and losing, blocking and tackling, snapping and receiving, I can relax with a glass of wine that will not only put a smile on my face but a new found love for the game....ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

Taste Those Winter Blues Away

It's cold out, there is snow on the ground, it is icy, you have to start your car before getting into it in the morning...which means going outside when it FREEZING out, you have to bundle up, where a hat and gloves, there is no hanging out outside, you have to stay indoors to be warm...have you heard enough!! I have a distraction, a brief but perfect way to kick those winter blues to the curb....TASTE YOUR BLUES AWAY!

I have found in my 37 years that it is easy to put off until tomorrow what we can do today. What does this have to do with wining you say? Two things actually....first being the frequency that we say to ourselves or to our friends let's get together and then we never do. We put it off...oh we will do it next week...or next month works better...then all of a sudden an entire season has passed and we still haven't taken any time for ourselves or our friends. Well I am giving you the perfect excuse to get together...HAVE A WINE TASTING! Good Friends, Great Wines = A Fantastic Time! ASK ME HOW!
OK..number two...we can sit idly by and wish and want and feel bad for ourselves about our current life and financial situation or we can move forward, take a risk and do something to better ourselves! Again, I am giving you the perfect excuse to get up and get your feet wet...quench your thirst for success by becoming a PERSONAL WINE CONSULTANT! I can guarantee you Fun, Friendship, Financial Rewards, Fulfillment and Flexibility! Whether you are a wine fanatic or are just beginning to like wine...this is the perfect opportunity for you to have your own business. By becoming a personal wine consultant, you will be offering FREE in-home wine tastings! Giving fun and informative wine tasting educations! It truly is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking for a part time gig or a full time career! Ask me how!!
CHEERS!!!
