I for one, am very happy that we are approaching the end of summer for quite a few reasons…I’ve really had just about enough (and then some…) of the damned heat; it is time for the kids to go back to school and the arrival of the cooler and more comfortable weather ushers our busy season [...]
See, I knew I was doing at least something right to live a long life, I just didn’t know how much the daily wine drinking was helping or hurting…well, this Newsweek article via Yahoo News sure nails it…. who am I to argue. How Rad are your Grapes? Drink up!

We are cooking our very first home grown corn and coming in early too… [...]
What’s happening? It’s Father’s Day….having my first cup of coffee and thinking about all that I have to be thankful for as a Dad on Father’s Day…a beautiful and healthy family; and incredible house that is a true home and my own wine business…..Rad Grapes. After a hard slog the last few years with the downturn [...]
Wine and Sex: The Ultimate Pairing?
