Some About Wine and Some Not
Tagged by both Jaime at Fiction Scribe and Megan at Wannabe Wino, I’m supposed to share 7 ( or 8 ) random facts about myself. I feel I do that anyway, but it’s a fun post to write, so here goes. Some wine-related, some not.
1. Sadly, the only time I’ve been to Europe was when I was 16 and had no interest in wine. Italy, Germany, Austria….all that missed potential.
2. I’m absolutely terrified of sharks because I read Jaws when I was in third grade.
3. Inspired by Megan’s # 1, I have to admit I’ve got a picture buried somewhere that shows me back in the day, a plastic cup of white zin in my hand.
4. I was voted Most Intellectual and was valedictorian of my high school, which I think might surprise those familiar with my memory.
5. For ages my compter’s wallpaper has been a picture I took last summer of some Chardonnay grapes, but I just changed it to something non-wine:a funny one of me and my girl, Val, from my March trip to Montana.
6. Thanks to my mom’s habits in gift-giving, a friend and I once spent quite some time counting what I had more of: cat items or frog things. I can’t remember which won. (See #4)
7. I am starting a new project related to my wine writing. More details to come soon, I hope.
p.s. Most of the people I would have tagged have been already, so this train stops here.

Hi Farley,
Glad I found your site! I blog about this stuff as well but I’m a proud level 4 so you won’t find any Gewurztraminer info there. You’ve mentioned Bodega Bay, I was there last June…ah the memories! Are you somewhere close to there now? Anyway, thanks for the great links NOT, I’ve been looking at all the other links that Wannabe Wino put on her tag post and look forward to making friends with you all.
Oh, yeah…I also blog for 451Press over at http://www.about-coloradospringsco.com.
Cya!

Funny, I’ve been wondering about the cat/frog thing myself. I haven’t taken an official census, but I think the smart money is on cats… Why didn’t you mention that band you used to like to listen to so much?

if i remember correctly, cats edged out the frogs 15-13. hehe…
wait, it was 16-14. my favorite being the floor mat in the kitchen with the double perspective.
how’s the vinegar coming?
