Excerpted from News Release:
Mar. 3 – Senator Mark Warner said today he is “irked” that taxpayer dollars will be used to bail out undisclosed investment partners who made risky gambles with AIG, which will receive a fourth bailout from the government.  
During today’s Budget Committee hearing with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Senator Warner suggested that […]

We stopped by the Salem Church Library this afternoon to check out the grand re-opening of the new expanded facility. The expansion is quite nice—as a librarian friend of mine noted, there’s a Borders feel to the place now. All that’s missing is …

Why would anyone vote for a Democrat? Let the Department of Labor draw you a picture. (And keep in mind, this doesn’t even include Hoover and FDR)

“What’s your favorite beer?” What’s your favorite beer style? These and similar questions are posed to me quite frequently. I am sure that any reader of this blog has been asked the same questions. For me, those are not answerable queries. My best answ…

Unexpectedly Misty-Eyed « Whatever –

At least that’s what all of the news programs have been calling it. In our neck of the woods, it might not qualify as mega, but even 4 to 6 inches around here is nothing to sneeze at. We spent a good part of the morning shoveling the driveway and diggi…

I was able to take a little time off this year and I decided to head to Yosemite for the vacation. My good friend Adam lives in Stockton, a few hours away from Yosemite, and it made good sense to spend some time with him while going to the beautiful park. Adam picked me up in Sacremento and off to Stockton we go. Being geographically challenged, I had no idea in relation to CA, where Stockton was located. Soon we were passing large expanses of agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley; almonds, tomatoes, sugarcane and, you guessed it, grape vines. A few more geographic inquires lead me to discovered Adam lived 7 miles from Lodi. The Zin capital of California.

I contacted Vino con Brio, producers of the Matzin, and Ann Matson answered. It was then clear where the wine got it’s name. Asking if we could come and visit, She explained that she was watching her niece, Katherine Sophia, and as long as we were ok with that she would be happy to open up for a tasting.
We arrived at the beautiful Vino Con Brio where Anne, Katherine Sophia, and cookie monster met us with a smile.

I was happy to help out with Katherine Sophia while Anne showed us their wines. Delicious!~ What a great time! This family run business has the beautiful Amorosa Vineyard inn and Garden facility that can accommodate you while in the Valley. Anne was then nice enough to take us to their production facility. All in all a wonderful experience.

So if you are in CA and want to meet some of the nicest, most accommodating, friendly, down to earth people in the valley, head to Vino con Brio in Lodi. This family run business will treat you well. If you want to try the Matzin locally, it is in our enomatic machines available now!

Thanks Anne and Katherine Sophia.

It has stopped snowing here in Fred2Blue Land. About 8 inches of the white stuff has fallen in my neighborhood. The sun is peeking out of the clouds.
For goodness sake, put the Snuggie back in the closet.  It is time to venture outside to start those shovel-ready projects (clearing sidewalks, driveways, etc.) and enjoy watching […]
