Taking control

I have recently taken control of my book, "Mask Among The Bones", from the publisher that I was working with. As of yesterday, it is only available on Amazon. I wanted to avail myself of some of the opportunities that KDP offers. I am very interested in seeing if the lending library KDP offers will be helpful in getting "Mask" out there to more readers. If anyone has experience with the program, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about it and how it worked for you.

2012 Domaine Bousquet Reserve Malbec

Ahh. A new wine that I have to share with you. The  2012 Domaine Bousquet Reserve Malbec is a very affordable wine that has some of the most delightful tastes and aromas that I have experienced. Notes on this well balanced wine are aromas of fruit with tones of raspberry, black currant, cassis and fig over notes of chocolate and tobacco. If you like a Malbec, you have to give this one a go. It is out of Argentina and is a blend of 85% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. One more thing; it is certified to be organic. If you can find it, I would strongly urge you to give this wonderful wine a try.

2012 OZV

Good morning. Last night we shared a very nice Zin that I would encourage you to give a try. We enjoyed a 2012 Old Zin Vines (Oak Ridge) Zinfandel Lodi. It is not at all pricy and is quite enjoyable. Notes read: "An old vin Zinfandel from Lodi's oldest operating winery that offers a robust and delicious expression of California's unique terroir. Jammy with raspberry, milk chocolate and mocha flavors, soft tannins and a supple mouth feel." While that describes it fairly well, it doesn't mention the way it lingers after each sip, lingering for enhanced enjoyment. It is not overly sweet, as many Zin's are and may appeal to the more traditional red drinkers. Please give it a try and see what you think. I like it!
