If you are afraid to branch out of your comfort zone I really recommend you give another wine a try. If you normally drink a chardonnay you might want to try a Pinot Grigio – it was the first white I tried besides Chardonnay.

What can wine do for you? Hop on board the WineShop at Home wine train roadshow and get a taste – literally – of the opportunities as an independent wine consultant. You? In the wine business? Heck yeah.

Short one tonight, might take you 2 minutes but gives you a peek at who I am.

Today I am going to address some comments from a few of my blog readers and some of my friends and co-workers. People are asking me why, if it is such a pain to choose the right foods, do I choose to eat GF.

I guess I need to clarify my Blog a bit. A number of people want to know what kind of wine is Gluten Free and which isn’t?

I went back to work today…no more holiday decorating or un-decorating, wrapping presents; cleaning or baking GF cookies, or taking down the tree or some other holiday chore.

Happy 2011! This is the time of year when I really miss having a fireplace…of course, in our area of California you can’t burn wood in the fireplace most of the time anyway but a good gas log would be fine with me. This cold, wet winter is not what I stay in San Jose […]

Welcome ! I’ve been Gluten Free for over 7 years, times have really changed since then to allow lots of Gluten Free choices in crackers and breads to pair with the wine.
