From Wine Apps to Spring Cocktail Recipes: Weekly Links

If you are like me, you discover a new favorite wine only to forget the name the next time you want to buy it.  What if I told you there are wine apps that do that job for you.  Vivino app allows you to either scan or take a photo of the bottle label to find out the rating and price average.  With Delectable you can learn about any wine and get expert opinions by also taking a photo of the bottle.  Although I always prefer a cocktail to a glass of wine, my favorite wine is Riesling and at the moment I’m obsessed with Fetzer Gewurztraminer.  It took me a while to spell it.  Its name looks a lot like algebra to me, but after seeing it often I learned it.  Lol.  Try to pronounce it and it’ll only get worst.  Fetzer is a sustainable winemaker from California.  You can find this Reisling basically anywhere but the wine industry and culture have changed and modernized so much that you can find good wine in unexpected places.

I’m reading three books at the moment.  One on Audible for when I’m on the road, one before going to bed, and one that I read during the day whenever I have a chance.  I’m always looking for new interesting books to add to my library and this Spring there are a bunch of interesting ones I can’t wait to start reading.  This list of the 10 of the most anticipated books of Spring 2018 sounds like a good place to start.
