Wine for Mid-Year Reset

It's approximately six months into the year and while we are inundated with talk of New Year's Resolutions around the first of the year, one rarely hears about the six-month checkpoint! As I reset myself for the second half of 2019, I want to share with you some of the reasons why I love the "second New Year."

Wine for a “DelMarVa”cation

This summer is rapidly coming to an end in Central New York. When the New York State Fair commercials begin in earnest, that's when you know. Or, if you ask my son, you know when the cicadas (or "summer sounds," as he calls them) reach their fever pitch decibel levels. Whatever the sign, it's now the latter half of August, and back to school is only weeks away.

Every summer we go on a family vacation. Most of the time we head south to Delaware to visit family. While there, we try to do a few other sightseeing activities, picking different things to do each year. This past year, the husband and I escaped for an overnight in Frederick, Maryland, a location chosen for its close proximity to Maryland and Virginia wine country.
