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.
