Rule of Citrus: None
If I were any kind of a songwriter, I’d pen a song about a delicious beverage that sent my mind into a haze. Oh wait, that’s already been done, albeit with other substances. I guess I’ll pack up my 6-string for another day.

Thursday, July 10th, 2008
A perfect day for two. That is how this past Saturday could best be described. Perfect in a real world sort of way. There was no vacation to some tropical island, but there was time for work and play, which is about as good as it gets.

Villa Cornaro Prosecco Extra Dry
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
Saturday night at home with no children (which is hard to accomplish when you have 4 kids)! We decided to make a light dinner of Blueberry Salsa Chicken and an Escarole Salad (you can read about this in our sister publication, TastyThoughts).
After dinner we decided to lay on the living room floor and watch Michael Clayton (read reviews of the movie in FlickRev). To go with our lounging and cinematic release, we had a bottle of Villa Conaro Prosecco Extra Dry.
For those of you who like the effervescent sensation of spumante, but do not...
