My First Glass Of Wine......For 2024!

Image
I was halfway through my Yoga with Adriene's 30-day challenge and feeling so unmotivated. I started doing this awhile back. I knew why I started all those years ago but, I am not sure why I kept doing it. I am way beyond the beginner stage of yoga and it dawned on me that I am a creature of routine so for me to break out of this, I will have to stop making decisions plagued by the concept of doing things this way or it will never end .                                     The truth is, I haven't gotten it right in the last few years.   I went from one silly job to the next, feeling over-worked and unfulfilled.

Chenin Blanc a Go Go!!

Image
  Oh where oh where can my  Chenin Blanc  be? It’s the  dog days of summe r and we are melting and sweating with the beads of heat! We obviously need a chilled, cold glass of one of the finer grapes out of the Loire Valley, Anjou Saumur that is.  Domaine Du Roujou has just the Natural Wines for you!!!

Very, very low intervention and because Amandine is sensitive to sulfur most of her wines have ...
