Stella P.G. is a great value giving crisp wine drinkers who are either on a budget or just like finding well rounded wines at a great price just what their looking for. This Pinot Grigio has citrus and grapefruit flavors with mild acidity great depth and balance. This is a lovely wine to sip on the patio during hot summer days and nights. Also being available in a 1.5 bottle this is a fantastic option when buying wine for a wedding, reunion or just having close friends over.

"I WANT THE RECIPE!

My b-day is Cinco De Mayo and would love to make it for this."

Well Laura, I’m doing a class for Cinco de Mayo on Monday and will be sure to raise a toast to you! If you want to make a cocktail that’s a little more geared to the day , try some of these awesome Cinco do Mayo cocktails from Nada.

Thanks for all your requests- here's the recipe!

If Mint Juleps aren’t your thing, try this recipe for Bourbon Slush from my neighbor, Marjorie. It’s fabulous! It makes a lot and will fill a 9×13 pan to the point that you’d be hard pressed not to spill it. I make it in a large glass bowl, instead. If you don’t have one large enough to accommodate, divide the recipe between 2 glass pans or bowls. I scrape the mixture with a fork a couple of times during the freezing process.

Cheers! Amy
