I don’t drink wine any more, although I did once upon a time. But during holidays and on special occasions I have it in my home and I’ve often thought that perhaps I need a better way to store it. Upon checking out wine refrigerators, I was surprised by the reasonable prices of some of […]

Merry Christmas to everyone in the world! May the lovely spirit of the season descend on the human race and peace and joy reign everywhere, eternally. To me, Christmas most of all means family and I share this joyous day with the members of my small family. I hope the same for you, wherever you […]

Today is the first day of winter. Autumn is my favorite season by far and I am always sad to note its passing. Still, winter is a lovely time and I definitely prefer it over the hot, steamy days of summer. The winter solstice is always a toss up here in Atlanta. Will it be […]
