I'm Back and need some wine!

For those of you who are loyal followers of this blog (all 2 of you! LOL) I apologize for the extended absence! It is not that I have NOT been drinking wine, but the last few weeks have been very crazy around the Reyes household, and honestly, I have not been drinking much wine, so it is hard to write about wine when you have not been drinking much!

Last weekend I spent the 3 days with 15 of my closest guy friends golfing in 35 degree temperatures in Reno, while wearing a kilt! (Pictures will follow shortly!) It is something that you have to experience once in your life! Waiting for the greens to thaw while drinking Irish coffee and Bloody Mary's in the clubhouse is fun, but golfing with a chilly wind blowing up your kilt is something the word FUN does not even begin to describe! All told, much beer and whiskey was consumed, but not much wine!

Last week I also started a new job, as a graphic designer for the new casino here in Shingle Springs - Red Hawk Casino. My first week was a blast and the casino is going to be a very cool experience for people who live here and who are traveling up to Lake Tahoe. But, a new job did not exactly lend itself to drinking some new wines each night and writing about them! But, it is the weekend and I have a couple of bottles of wine I want to try, and I have an article due at Sierra Style, so I need to taste some wines!

Finally, I have been planning a Gothic Halloween Party at Dolce Vino in Cameron Park. It starts around 8:00PM on Halloween. Check out the website at www.dolce-vino.com for tickets and info!

So, now I will pull out the corkscrew and start doing my job! "POP!"
