2015 09162015 Vinum (Vin Num)   The Basic Riedel Glass Series are: Vinum - The most popular line. This was designed by Georg Riedel who is the head of this German family owned business.  This was the first line to establish that the shape of the glass should be dictated by the characteristics of the wine. Lead-crystal and machine blown.  This line contains the greatest depth in glass varieties for wines, beer and spirits.   Vinum Extreme - As the name implies the shape is a more "extreme" version of the Vinum line.  The bowls have lovely angles and the stems are taller for an elegant table presentation. Lead-crystal and machine blown.   Vinum XL - This line includes only four glasses that have been fine tuned for the major grape varietals with a fun cocktail glass thrown in for good measure.  Lead-crystal and machine blown.   Wine - This is the most confusing line because, after al

2015 091 8 2015 Hestia Cabernet Sauvignon by Mr. Shannon Jones Columbia Valley La Quercia  Grape:  Montepulciano d'Abruzzo The Jack, Cabernet Sauvignon WA 10/34 💕 03132016 DC This bottle of red exceeded it's recommended drinking period.  I followed instruction and decant this bottle carefully and with two and half hours of time to breath.  Since 2003, this bottle is carrying thirteen years of age in it.  I don't know if this bottle is stored properly or not because it was a gift to me.  It is fun to wait and taste the result.  The waiting and special handling are well worth it.  I think this may be one of the best bottles I ever enjoyed.  To top it off, I enjoyed it at home.  I was extra wonderful. The accurately aged wine color.

Golf: Golf Club for Women

What’s in the Bag http://golftips.golfsmith.com/golf-clubs-women-1196.html The United States Golf Association (USGA) states in its official rules that players are allowed 14 golf clubs in their bag. You might not even need all 14 clubs. A good combination of clubs for women is... -the driver, lofted woods such as a 5, 7 and 9, -a 6-iron, 7-iron, 8-iron and 9-iron, -a pitching wedge, -a sand wedge and -a putter. Hybrids, which are easier to hit than long irons, can replace the 3-iron, 4-iron and 5-iron. For lower handicapped (see below) women golfers, try adding a 3-wood and a 5-iron. A golfer's handicap is a measure of how he plays, on average, per round. Casual golfers might not establish handicaps, but handicaps are required for most amateur tournaments and are useful to set fair matches. A "low" handicap is relative, depending on the level of golfers with whom you typically play and quality of players at your club . Low Handicap In most cases, a lo

Nespresso Nespresso is convenient and made easy to enjoy a cup of decent coffee with a push of a button. Compare to an espresso machine...  mid to high-end espresso machine yield an amazing coffee bean aroma and silky smooth coffee if done right.  But, the espresso machine maintenance and cleaning are not for my demand work schedule and non-early bird person.  In fairness, I choose Nespresso for quality coffee, quick and easy to manage and fit my lifestyle and counter space.  In addition, I liked the ever-changing Nespresso pods in different colors and flavor. 21 Grand Crusv Intenso Ristretto 25ml or Espresso 40ml x5 flavors Kazaar 12 Dharkan 11 -Ristretto 10 -Arpeggio 9 Roma 8 Espresso 40ml x4 flavors ♥️Livanto 6 Capriccio 5 Volluto 4 Cosi 3 Pure Origin x3 flavors Indriya India Ristretto 25ml 10 ♥️Rosabaya Columbia Espresso 6  Dulsao Brasil Espresso 4 flavors Lungo 110ml x3 flavors Fortissio 7 Vivalto 4 Linizio 4 Decaffeinato x3 flav
