I have a friend who likes Mollydooker wines, and is also a big fan of Sparky, the owner of the winery. We have, many times, talked about the wines. He loves them. Me, not so much. So when Steve insisted that we come to a dinner at The Raleigh hotel on […]
Good Friday morning, Key West enthusiasts! Just wanted to let you all now that there has been a delay in posting today (too little sleep, too much work). I’ll be back Monday with some fun stuff – a recap of a Mollydooker wine dinner, including blend-your-own-wines, and more. So take […]

Good morning! This is just a note to let you know that I have given you yet one more distraction from work during the week. I will continue to post three times per week, at least, but they will be on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. So if you need a […]
