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. I am looking forward to celebrating the holiday with sparkling wine. I love sparkling wine in all of it’s... Continue Reading →

One of the most moving places I have ever visited was the cemetery in Normandy, France, where almost 10,000 Americans were buried... Continue Reading →
