We are back!!!!

Like I promised at the last Pen and Pencil Club wine tasting, the blog is back.

I have a series of posts coming on Des Moines, oxidized white wines, Donnhoff's brilliance, Portuguese wines, Chicago, restaurant reports, a new Pen and Pencil tasting, and more.

I also will be blogging on wine and travel every day on my upcoming trip to Montreal and New York. Check starting on 10 April for what I am up to.

Please spread the word that I am back!
