About Me

I love wine, I love good music, I love cooking for my friends and drinking wine with them, I work too much, I am highly strung and over-sensitive... jeez... run away now.....unless you have a good bottle of 1990 Burgundy. Oh and I do a bloody good Patsy Cline impersonation (no wine required)..
