Friday Cheers –

By |June 17th, 2023|Categories: Drinks, Wine|

There’s nothing like a chilled glass of wine on a hot summer afternoon which brings me to another wine worth mentioning from Trader Joe’s.

Last May we travelled to Cabo San Lucas. It was perfect in so many ways: the location stunning, the people friendly, the culture beautiful, and the food and drink magnificent.

Besides wine...my other favorite beverage is the iconic Martini.  It wasn’t always a favorite...it was a drink I learned to enjoy. Mind you, there are many varieties and brands of gin and vodka and for me it took finding the right brand to make it irresistible. Welcome to a twist on today’s Friday Cheers...the Martini.

A Buttery Cup of Coffee

Who would have thought a tablespoon of unsalted grass-fed butter whipped into your coffee would make one smooth tasting cup? Well, it does! Our friend Jonathan, who visits often, introduced Mike and I to coffee with butter... it was quite the experience and one we continue to savor.
