The White River Killer

A friend of mine, Stephen Wilson, has written a great mystery titled The White River Killer. Stephen's book moves at a quick pace and the characters come with that true southern flavor that often goes missing in many such attempts. White lightning, ghosts, questionable cops and a dead body with some history. All of this, plus an added sprinkle of romance, are carefully stirred into the makings of a fine story. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to his next book already. Give it a read for good entertainment.

Angove Special Blend Recipe 2012 Red Blend



                 Angove Special Blend Recipe 2012 Red Blend


This 2012 Red Blend is from South Australia. It is a blend 50% Shiraz, 30% Grenache, and 20% Petit Verdot. The red blend, “The Recipe”, is a modern take on Dr. Angove’s original red wines and features a rich nose of tart, dark berries with a hint of spice, leather and oak. Dark, rich, tart blue & red berry flavors on the palate. Has a nice aftertaste that lingers. A nice round balance of flavor, it's medium-bodied with a rich full finish that would go great with red meats, red pastas or meaty stews.

Winter weather

Good morning;

Sorry for the lack of postings. The weather has been so bad that I haven't been near a wine dispensary in over a month. My friends and I have been forced to enjoy the old reliables and forgo experimentation. So much for the sunny (and warm) South. I am truly looking forward to Spring and all that it brings.
