Wine Tip

via Cork or Screwtop? 
Purists used to cringe at the idea of a synthetic cork, or even worse, a screw top on wine. But today, synthetic corks are actually better at keeping wine from losing its flavor.

Simmering Sunday - Spiced Wine

Ooh, it's that time of year again. Autumn is a magical time for me. Aromas of rich pumpkin and apple spices fill the crisp air. The days get shorter and we all seem to slow down a bit as we watch the gorgeous, colorful leaves fall from the trees. Autumn is truly my favorite season of all.

My Favorite Wines

I love wine. Who doesn't, huh? ;-) I've tasted many different wines over the years. Some were expensive while others were not. What I have noticed is that not all expensive wines taste good and not all inexpensive wines taste bad. Here are some of my favorites....
Oak Grove Zinfandel - This wine is my favorite "everyday" wine. Since the wine is so inexpensive (cost: $9 at Total Wine) you could drink it everyday if you chose. It is a rich wine that gives you a burst of wild raspberry and plum flavors and follows with a touch of peppery spice. This medium to full-bodied red is sure to please both your palate and pocket.

Movie Review - The Secret Life of Bees

via
I am a member of Netflix (which I love). The other day I was searching their site for some new movies -- movies that are not mainstream. I came across this movie and was intrigued. Even though it was not new (made in 2008) I hadn't seen it before. It was given 5 out of 5 stars so I knew it had to be good. It also was based on the book - The Secret Life of Bees.

Happy Friday Everyone! The info (joke) below has been sent to me via email on more than one occasion and it still makes me laugh. Too funny not to share -- enjoy! :-)
Love this Doctor!
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.
