I love new ideas, visiting the farmers' market, swing dancing, finding something interesting at the public library, making my own bread, visiting museums, learning about other cultures, telling stories, reading, petting my cat, trying new wines, rehabilitating Italian Greyhounds for the local rescue organization, and relaxing under a tree at the park.

Hello, Kathleen. Thanks for adding me! I enjoy wine, especially Pinot Noir. I would love to try any wines you suggest from New York, since I was born and raised here. Im sure you know of several which would be wonderful. Thanks again!
Yummy! My fav pairing for a dessert is a Late Harvest Zin or a Port with a semi-sweet or dark chocolate! It's fun to do a chocolate that comes in a jar, place a small amount in cute lil' dishes and serve with cute lil' salt spoons. Take a spoonful of chocolate, then pair it with your fav. port or late harvest zin. It's wonderful! Have fun at your party, and enjoy! What's your fav. pairing for dessert? Give me some new ideas!
Thanks for the friend request, you've been added! I see that you belong to a wine Meetup Group too, cool! Too bad we're on opposite sides of the U.S.! Stop by my page any tme, and let's chat. ttyl, Joyce AKA Wine Diva
