Totally cool new site. Makes me hungry … and thirsty
I love your new site! Great work… let me know when you’d like to blog about something in Northampton. I’ve been known to drink my fair share of wine, and everyone knows I’m a professional eater
Obviously I’ll go to Northampton at a moment’s notice!! hope to see you soon
Leeanne: Great to see you starting this new endeavor … I’ll eagerly await more wine recommendations!
Love the blog! I’d love to see some lists of these yummy under $15 bottles of wine… before Thanksgiving? Hmmm, what pairs well with turkey and cranberry sauce?
I have a good turkey wine: HobNob pinot noir. But thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be sure to get more wine entries in here soon!
Leeanne,
Great speaking with you today. Good luck with the blog. I think people may be surprised how well Italian wines pair with turkey and stuffing!
Saluti,
Mike
Leeanne! I am immediately adding you to my RSS reader. Best wishes!
Love your blog! I am in southwestern CT and blog on motoamy.com and for CTbites.com and am always searching for great new spots in CT. Have you ever been to Still River Cafe? It’s my northern CT fav. Cheers, Amy
