Besides confessions, you know what else is good for the soul? Wine. Unfortunately, the more you drink the more you might have to confess. Ah, the circle of life. And why we practice moderation in all things.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

Um…yeah…Right.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAccept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.\u201d \u00a0Paulo Coelho<\/a>,\u00a0Brida<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Paulo Coelho wrote one of my favorite books, The Alchemist, so I figure his characters know what they’re talking about.<\/p>\n

\u201cit’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine … it’s summertime!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Kenny Chesney<\/a><\/p>\n

A Kenny Chesney song makes an appearance in almost every one of my playlists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.\u201d\u00a0Ernest Hemingway<\/a><\/p>\n

See what I mean? Wine is a sensory thing!<\/p>\n

To that end I thought I’d share a couple of my new favorite whites with you. They are blends and I’m lovin’ the blends right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apothic White<\/a> is a blend that combines Chardonnay, Riesling and Moscato to create a luscious, vibrant wine. Intense flavors of peach, pineapple, honey and vanilla. (Their words, not mine.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bear Flag, Soft White Blend<\/a>. Muscat of Alexandria, Symphony, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, French Columbard. Ooh-la-luscious. (Again, their words, not mine.)<\/p>\n

So, pull up a chair and enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy Hump Day! Feel free to share your favorite wine of the moment. I’m always up for trying new wines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
