Valentine’s Day - “Real Wine” Episode 9

It’s Valentine’s Day, and we’ve got some recommendations for both the V-Day lovers AND haters out there.  First, an Elysium dessert wine (paired with chocolate, ice cream and made into a cocktail), then a Bandit boxed Cabernet Sauvignon for those throwing a party.  A little fun for everyone on this special day!  

Join host Kateland Carr as she tries to make drinking wine more down to Earth.

This week’s HSA post is one of my favorites.

Give this video 18 minutes and you’ll understand the last 30 years of music. In fact, I’d recommend minimizing the window and just listening. It’s amazing what you’ll learn about what you already thought you knew.

This can’t possibly be for real… CAN IT?
