No matter how great the wine kids should be safe
Just heard of a couple that left their toddlers in an Unheated car to taste wine. It's 28 degrees in Washington DC, what world do these parents live in that leaving children in the car is okay?

Newest book...What's All The Wine-ing About: Guide to dealing with the winesnob
It took longer than I planned, longer than I wanted, but I hope the reader will agree that the finished book was worth the wait. I spent several years researching grapes, wines and the process of wine making. I also tasted a lot of wines, but that is a posting for another time.
What's All the Wine-ing About, is meant to help share the love of wine with the newer wine drinker, while still offering the experienced wine taster new information. This books was a larger effort than my earlier wine books and honestly I did not expect this book to take so long to complete.
My love of learning and research sidetracked me several times. I wanted to make sure information was right and interesting for all levels of people reading about wine. I will start posting tips from the quick guide section and ask for feedback in the near future.
Cheers!

The Hague Winery, located in Hague, Virginia in the Northern Neck area of Virginia is a pleasant drive from either the Washington, DC area or from Richmond, Virginia. Wines made from grapes grown and bottled on the property are presented in a pleasant tasting room.
Books written by myself are on display in the tasting room along with cheeses, locally made stained glass items and other gift items. While these items are all nice enticements, the wines are the star of the room. From the first to the last wine the nose, tastes and appeal of the wines make for an enjoyable visit to The Hague!

I'm Back...Haven't Been Gone Just Busy
Wow, time flies when you are having fun...or at least writing a book or two. Oops, make that three new books!
Here are my latest books...won't want to miss them
Wine and Sweet Words, 2nd Edition coming in May 2014. This new version has more quotes and sayings to engage your funny bone.
What's All The Wining About? Everyone's Guide to Learning Wine Snobbery is in editing now and is expected to be published by August 2014. This book offers Quick Tips for Wine enjoyment. Topics range from wine's influence on aging, which glass to choose (hint, Dixie cups are not a choice), a glossary of grapes and a history of the wine grape.
The Civil War: Changing American Legacies is a departure from my normal book genre but a true labor of love. Regardless of the reasons for starting the war, this conflict influenced families with the heavy loss of life. Women were put into positions of head of households, managing businesses, and more. Before the Suffrage movement gained full momentum women were finding the strength to challenge societies roles. Watch for this book in fall of 2014.
