Favourite grape or wine region?

So hard to pick just one! But if I had to, my favourite varietal would be Chardonnay and my favourite wine area would be Northern Italy (for white wines).

What’s one thing that people would be shocked to know about you?

That I was a vegetarian for over 8 years! Shocking.

What song would you pick for karaoke?

The only answer for both karaoke and staff party dances: Livin’ On A Prayer by Mr. Jon Bon Jovi.

Beach books + bevies: ABCs for Toddlers, Cow’s Edition


Having a toddler and a 9 week old, I’m not getting to the beach this Summer as much as i’d like to. But, we have managed to get out a couple times this Summer, and while I used to bring grown up books to the beach, I now find myself reading my toddler his books. 

Like for instance, the Cow’s (like, PEI Ice Cream Cow’s) edition of the ABCs. He loves it, and (proud parent) he can nail every letter and tell me what image the letters match with. 

During this exercise of patience, you’ll find me sipping on a Lone Oak Light Lager, also from PEI, Lone Oak is just over the Confederation Bridge in Borden-Carleton, and they make really nice beers. Like the Light, a no frills, easy drinking crisp lager that’s only $4.00 a can. 

Moooooooo to that!
