Wednesday 9/25/13 gym, El Sarape, Phil’s, Balkan Wine tasting

Wednesday 9/25/13

it’s always great to start the day here!!!

neighbor Don is ready for Halloween –
He got his graveyard up early this year

Me & Leticia from EL SARAPE –my new account.
It is in Blue Bell — if you go there be sure to
order Fortaleza Tequila – it is sipping tequila.
Delicious!

visited my Phil’s Tavern account –
He ordered Tilia Chardonnay from Argentina –
get that next time you are here!

my next stop was the Moshulu – to attend a
Balkan wine tasting. Wines from Croatia & Serbia
are quite good. People just are not familiar with them.

2009 Vino Budimir Tamjanika Zupska, Serbia

Very aromatic – smells like it is going to be sweet,
but it is not. It is a dry tasty white. Delicious.

that’s my co-worker Bob –
The Moshulu is his account.

Me & my Portuguiser – one of my favorite Serbian wines.
It’s like a Pinot Noir – but it’s not….
It’s a tart cherry flavor that I love!

I had a few tastings over the past couple days &
I needed helping drinking some wine!!!

friend Suzy stopped over to assist
in depleting the wine supply……

I just want to remind everyone I will be pouring
Wine Samples at Tony’s on Thursday night (9/26)
from 630-8pm. Please stop by for a taste.
It is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you in advance for your support!

Beer school will start 830 at the Lucky Leopard Lounge.

9/24/13 gym, Work – Maggio’s, bird meeting, BACON, Career Seminar,

9/24/13

I really missed the gym – it was GREAT to be back!
I missed all week bc of being in NYC

My first appointment today was Ann’s Choice.
It is a retirement community next to our house.
They have 4 restaurants with BARS!!!
does anyome know Lisa Sicilia?

I stopped at Maggio’s – they have 4 of my wines on
their list – woo hoo — it’s a good start!

Stopped at STEAM – but haven’t made any progress here yet.
Anyone know someone here??

neighbor Deb & I went to the monthly bird meeting.
It was good but I think we were expecting more?

http://pa.audubon.org/bird-town

Deb & I were hungry so after the meeting I made
us some BACON!!!!!!

and we drank some wine that I had left over from a tasting

If you or someone you know is looking for a job, I HIGHLY recommend attending this seminar. I’ve been to a couple of them & gained valuable information & made great contacts. It’s well organized & you do NOT want to miss
the Keynote Speaker Jim Smith Jr.
This is an Enlightening experience not to be missed.

Probably the BEST part about starting HERE
is you get to end up here…..

Today we were embarking on a 50 mile bike ride….
We don’t usually bike up this way so it was a real
treat to see new scenery.

Gorgeous views like we have in Bucks county

Waiting to regroup…..

our rest stop a BAKERY – what else???
What to get?? What to get???

I highly recommend the triple ginger cookie

The highlight as meeting a 36 year old dalmatian horse
– that I still regret not getting her picture!

what’s a few more miles when you are riding 50 –
This was a proper ride!!!!

Dean & Michael stowing the Changing Room

Friday 9/20/13 Fred’s, bird store, Broad Axe Tavern, Phils, Los Sarapes

Friday 9/20/13

impromptu visit to FRED’s breakfast club with friend Joyce

great story – short version:
A couple strangers we made friends with bought
our breakfast & we didn’t even know it until after they left.
We couldn’t even thank them.

home-made orange marmalade —
marmalicious……

Stocking up on the bird food for the critters.
I like shopping at Wild Birds Unlimited bc
all their stuff is fresh – there is a high turnover.

http://buckingham.wbu.com/

later in the day I made my way into the office.
QUIET on a Friday afternoon.
No wine drinking today!

Stopped at my account the Broad Axe
to see Michael O’Donnell
(Billy he knows YOU from Talamore!)

http://www.thebroadaxetavern.com/

Stopped here to see Brian Lupino but he wasn’t in.
Do you know him??

THEN I was going to visit friend Mary but she didn’t
answer my test or phone call…….so onward with my
travels I went……

http://www.thephilstavern.com/

Dropped of a mystery present to friend BILLY –
but I’m sure he will figure out it is from me!
(especially after reading this!)

went to see Mauricio my customer at Los Sarapes.
He is selling my wine – so go here & drink Los Dos –
a tasty Spanish red wine blend.

Last stop was the Jamison Golf Club.
Michael played in an outing & they were
just finishing up. Made a wine contact here-
so that was good 🙂

How much WHINE…….

THIS was awesome despite being past its expiration date

Stone Enjoy By 9.13.13

PLINY THE ELDER!!!

Beers have gotten complex —
it’s a GOOD thing…..

No one ever considers himself an expert
if he really knows his job.
A man who knows a job
sees so much more to be done
than he has done,

that he is always pressing forward and
never gives up an instant of thought

to how good and how efficient he is.
Thinking always ahead,
thinking always of trying to do more,
brings a state of mind
in which nothing is impossible.
The moment one gets
into the “expert” state of mind,
a great number of things
become impossible.
