“I drop her off at the kindergarten gate every morning! The principal knows that, the yard guard knows it, why are you yelling at me?” This I said to one of our local sheriffs trying, in vain, just to do his job. But he scared me! He came (rushed) up to my door to tell…
I first met all four Hipsters that form the wine writing group, Hipster Enology, at a Rhone Rangers event I think. Attracted to their hipster look, their witty repartee that transferred well into writing and…their taste for adventure.

I’m always in search of new cocktail recipes – that use what I already have existing in my liquor cabinet. St. Germain, the elderflower liquor, which I normally make in a cocktail with Champagne and soda (https://evewine101.com/2011/11/18/eve-discovers-speed-rack-la-competition/) was crying out for another use.

I pantomimed, my right thumb…
