  • WOW – when i heard the first hint of baby-noises coming from behind the scenes, my heart skipped for a moment and I thought: “WOW YES! Congratulations!”

    QOTD: My big, wonderfully weird family, being with my friends when we “nerd it up” on the wine-scene and, I have to say,: wine in general!

    Thanks for coming back strong with this episode – was really beginning to miss my daily dose of digital wine-enlightenment 😉

  • WOW!!!!!!!! How cute is she!!!!! She is such a little bundle of joy. Unbelievable Homey. You did a great job. Congradulations!!!!

    Congratulations. Meesh is very beautiful. This is the first time I’ve seen bags under your eyes. You can start sleep training after six months, did it with both of mine and it works.

    Italian varietals don’t adapt too well. . Other than Zinfandel, I’ve never been blown away by an Italian grape outside of the homeland. They don’t even exist much away from their localities within Italy, as it is very regional country where most have their own varietals and styles of food etc. Regional pride is big in Italy, whether or not this is cultural or geographical, I don’t know. Perhaps someone could shed some light on this ?

    Sardinian wines have recently been a big revelation to me, please do a tasting of these one day.

  • PS…. How’s Lizzy?

    I thought your guest today was a little more conversant on the show’s varietals than your usual CKC guests. See, it pays to get them from the better schools 🙂

  • WOW, awesome comeback show, and to build the baby suspense like that was incredible.

    For a moment there, it looked like you had traded your wristband for a hospital bracelet.

    QOTD… I have the same sunshine as you, but mine is names Maya… and she’s about 9 1/2 months older… never knew something so small could make me this happy.

  • When my first born was in my arms, I asked her dad, “Is this Katie Sunshine or Melanie Rainbow?”

    He chose Katie Sunshine; and yes, I went to to also have Melanie Rainbow and then Lyla Lynn. (Lyla’s derived from the flower lily… flower child that she is.)

    And, yes, those names were on their LEGAL birth certificates.

    I understand your “Sunshine.” It’s a magical moment that grows up so fast, so enjoy each and every second!

    Congratulations to you and yours. Cheers. –jo
