Peacock Wine & Book Bar [Jan 2023]
Since Bacon, Eggs, and Toast was such a blast to write about a couple of weeks ago, I thought I’d keep the momentum going!! Eggs had been talking about this wine bar near her in Gilbert where she had taken several classes to create different and really cool things. Even though she has always invited me to join her, nothing really piqued my interest until the cheese-making class came around! Cheese… wine's best friend, so… we grabbed Toast to get our cheese on!! LOL!! I also i

One Hope Winery [January 2022]
I saw an ad on Facebook about becoming a wine cause entrepreneur. I was intrigued, I mean I buy and drink wine, so why not make some money while doing it?? All the while supporting a good cause [of my choice] with a portion of the sales!? It really sounds too good to be true, the wine must not be very good right?? So, before I was going to tell a single soul what I was going to try next.. I needed to sign up and get my wine kit [pictured below] to taste this wine before I tol

Water to Wine Tour [April 2021]
It is finally time for me to write about the long awaited “water to wine” experience. [the one I mentioned way back during the Verde Valley Wine Trial] Let me start by saying that I had a very nervous excitement when I first read about this excursion, as I have never kayaked before!! But this activity was a birthday gift for my work daughter Hayley [who you have met many times before] and I felt up to the challenge!! I mean, it did end with wine so… LOL!! It was nothing short
