The Amazing Wine club delivers premium wines each month to members

by

In the last few years my husband and I have really started to enjoy wine. Not that we drink wine all that often, but we’ve developed a new appreciation for it.

I hate to say this, but when we first started seeing each other, if we drank wine, the only wine we’d try were white wines! We just didn’t enjoy red wine. At least we had that in common. It was a good friend and neighbor that opened our eyes and I guess you could say taste buds to the delicacies of a good red wine. It’s possible that we drink more red wine these days than white!

As I said we don’t drink a lot of wine, but I’ve considered joining a Wine club. If we were to join a wine club such as the Amazing Wine Club we’d receive featured wine selections each month.

Each of the featured wines are chosen after being taste tested by professionals. Only the wines that meet the Amazing Wine Club’s highest standards are chosen to be delivered to wine club members. These wines include hard to find and hand crafted wines from leading wine producing regions from all over the world.

Each month members of the Amazing Wine Club will receive two premium bottles of wine. I suppose the best part of the experience of being a member of this kind of club is getting to experience new wines – perhaps ones that you can’t find in your local stores or ones that you wouldn’t have thought to try on your own. Memberships can be purchased for as little as three months up to a year.

If club members really enjoy one of the wines that they’ve been sent they can purchase additional bottles at a club discount.

I’ll have to tell my husband about the Amazing Wine Club and see what he thinks. In the meantime though, a membership to the club might make a great gift for some of the wine lovers that we know.





Tastes and smells delicious

This weeks theme is Smelly

Grilled potatoes and veggies and Cat Fish

This weeks photo hunt theme is Smelly and what better photo to use today than a picture of grilled rainbow trout with a mix or grilled potatoes and veggies. The potato veggie mix includes peppers, onion, and whole garlic gloves. Yum!

Yes this meal can be a little smelly. Luckily we cook it outside on the grill so the kitchen doesn’t smell of fish and garlic.

I wonder how many people posted photos of smelly food today?

I think he threw it out!

I seem to write about my food cravings on this blog. I don’t know why, but I do.

The latest craving is popcorn. Something I can’t eat due to my Crohns. Just trust me, it makes it worse. Way worse.

Anyway, last night I was determined to have some popcorn so I went looking for my popcorn machine. Wouldn’t you know it I couldn’t find it.

Obviously we don’t use it very often with me not tolerating popcorn or even corn very well, but every once in a while, like once a year, I allow myself to have a tiny taste.

I have the sneaking suspicion that my husband either gave the popcorn machine away or threw it out just to keep me from eating this dangerous delicacy.

I’ll have a look around in our basement just in case we stored it down there due to lack of space in the kitchen, but I don’t think I’ll find it. It’s gone. So naturally without my craving satisfied I’m really jonesing for a handful of popcorn.

Recovering from a very busy weekend!

by

Well we had our family reunion this past weekend. After five days of getting together with my family I’m totally exhausted. It seems like we were always on the go.

The major highlights of the weekend were attending a baseball game – our team the Blue Jays won of course, seeing some of the cast of Heroes at the game, going on a boat cruise and gazing at the lovely city skyline at sunset from the boats deck, a big family barbecue, going to the beach on the hottest day of the weekend, dining in restaurants twice with family members and going to see my nephews photos at an art gallery.

Busy, busy, busy!

To top it all off on Sunday and Monday I really wasn’t feeling well at all. You know I have Crohns … well I thought I might need to buy some incontinence products! Yeah that’s how bad I was feeling and my stomach was just gurgling. It was awful, but I made it through.

Still, even thought I didn’t feel all that well over the weekend I enjoyed myself. I don’t get to see one of my brothers or his family very often since they live on the other side of our large country so I always try to make the best of his visits.

Did you have a nice holiday weekend? Oh … perhaps you didn’t have a long weekend. It was Labor day here on Monday and that’s a statutory holiday so all of North America had a long weekend.

We had a great time on our dinner boat cruise

I took this photo while on our dinner boat cruise on Saturday evening. We were on a boat cruising around on Lake Ontario just outside of Toronto. I went up on deck about a half hour before sunset and stayed there until the sun was almost down snapping approximately 200 photos of the lovely scenery as the boat slowly moved across the lake.

What a beautiful evening we had. I’d highly recommend the Toronto Dinner boat cruises if your visiting the city or even if you live in the area and want to impress your date. The dinner was served as a buffet and it was delicious.

Oh, we had a couple sitting at the table beside us who were celebrating their five year wedding anniversary. They were dressed in the same clothes they wore to their wedding. She wore a simple white wedding gown and he wore a tuxedo. Everyone thought that they’d just been married, but it was their anniversary. They must be a very romantic couple.
