With all that’s going on blogging is always a little light this time of year. Busy planning the menus!
Just noticed that the Frederick Wine House is having the Willm Cremant d’Alsace available for tasting tomorrow (12/24) from 4pm -7 pm along with some other wines. Its free! If you happen to taste it let me [...]
