10.10.14 Balkan Wine Tasting, Heron Wines, YCC, Con Tav, WEASEL vet

10.10.14
Tasting wines today from Serbia, Macedonia
and other Balkan regions.

http://www.balkanwineproject.com/

Jessica from Heron Wines
came in to talk about her Wines.

driving to an appointment I got stuck in a big accident
on I-95 causing me to be late 😦

my first appointment today was at the Yardley Country Club

Not as fancy as some clubs I go to but still nice!

What we tasted today Heron Pinot Noir,
Seven Sinners Petite Sirah, Portuguiser

Ross from Continental Tavern bought a case
of the Heron Pinot Noir. Drink THAT!

Weasel had a Wellness check up at the vets today.

Her splenetic tumor was 4 cm now it is 8cm.

It grew from the size of a baseball to
the size of a softball. The good news is:
it hasn’t grown in the past few months.

MORE Birthday Mail !!!!!

More Birthday cards. Yay me!!!
