EP 457 Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To.

Vernaccia is another classic white wine that is overlooked by so many as they focus on the 1 or 2 white wines they drink from Italy. I hate to pick on Pinot Grigio but I want people to expand their palates.

Wines tasted in this episode:

    Happiest of birthdays to your dear Mum. I don’t care much for gifts, what do we really need anyway? But as a Mom I’ve always asked my kids to write me a letter for my birthday. They are my most treasured possessions, I have kept every one. You’re a good son. Write your Mom, more precious than gold.

    in case you hadn’t heard yet, there was a picture of you from the draft in the los angeles times sports section page 5 on friday. based on the article i’ll let you slide on not doing the book tour in southern cali since the nfl draft will possibly be here next year and imagine you may come for that! . . . i’d ask about the top 3 to 5 bands or musicians you saw live and when and where you saw them play.

    QOTD:

    I am constantly studying leadership…in fact I have a Master’s Degree from Gonzaga University in Organizational Leadership. Being in the military and an Air Force Officer I am always refining my leadership style to fit various situations and learning from the mentors I’ve had over the years.

    My question to you would be: Do you consider yourself a leader, and if so, what kind of a leader do you see yourself as?
