Book Review: The Drops of God Volume 1

Manga + Wine = Awesome

In full disclosure, this series is technically old news and I have read through it before. But, like any good book, I can read it again and again and the content still feels fresh and relevant, and I pick up on things I may have missed the first time around. Bonus points — in this manga, we learn about wine.

A Week of Wine Thanksgiving: In Memory of Patricia Green

While attending this year’s Wine Blogger’s Conference in Santa Rosa, California, I was alerted to the passing of Patricia Green, co-founder and winemaker of Patricia Green Cellars. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Patty in person — in fact, I’ve yet to visit the winery either — she absolutely impacted my wine life. In fact, I dare say, she is the woman who gifted me my love of wine. So I dedicate this post to Patricia Green — her life, her legacy, and the influence she had on me as both a wine lover and wine writer.
