Christmas season has officially begun for me. While I haven’t yet seen the gorgeous tree at the Met this year, I saw Handel’s Messiah at Carnegie Hall last night, a tradition for a number of years.

Today I am reflecting on Dr. King's legacy and where we are in the United States of America at this moment. This is a wine blog not political commentary so I am just going to be brief. I keep this quote on my desk and have since I went to college to remind myself to... Continue Reading →
