For a Good Cause




One of my favorite companies, Candlemart.com (they supplied the majority of our wedding/reception candles, and we had a lot of candles!), has put together the Hope of Katrina Candle Gift Set.

The price is excellent, the basket makes a great gift (and would be perfect for keeping!), and you'd be supporting some worthy causes. And come on...who can resist candles?!

- A Question Of Integrity
The other day, one of the wine makers I mentioned in my recent Paso Robles article wrote and asked for my shipping address. They wanted to send me a package. I asked what it was, because (as I said to them) I'm wary about packages from wine makers...
