Seems like I just finished my St. Pat's Day beer in a green bottle and Easter is just about here. I'm afraid I haven't had the time to do the thorough wine research I did to recommend . . .

Last week I had a tasty salmon dish at The Elephant Walk, so last night I set out to see if I could do something similar. I don't make a lot of salmon, as Jodi isn't a big fan of it. . . .

Well, it looks like I didn’t have a single one of Wine Spectator’s Top wines for 2006, but did manage to have some good wine this year nonetheless. So I’m issuing my own Top 10 . . .

Though I find myself sipping white wine a bit more in the summer than other times, I'd say I still prefer red wine. I think I'd say that even if red weren't the one better for my health, . . .
