if it’s a wedding, anniversary, or birthday party that you are planning, and gifts are involved, ask your guests to nix the wrapping paper.

as all the SIGG bottles around town can attest, folks are finally getting the point about the absurdity of bottled water.

organic wine tasting: bonterra
Leave a Comment
in honor of the “underdog wins” movie, bottle shock, i thought it fun to review a california chardonnay–organic, of course.
