I'm an artist, a filmmaker, an actress, a designer, a blogger, a pop culture expert... But most importantly, a wine lover. Not an expert, but a big fan nonetheless.
Performing with an improv troupe at a winery (Chalet Debonne) in Northeast Ohio. Comedy, wine, cheese and friends- life doesn't get much better than that.

Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.
Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:
“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.
Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”
Thanks! Yeah, it's pretty cool, but the traveling gets a little old sometimes. Our owners live in palm springs, CA, so they kind of consider Las Vegas their territory. So, I only get there about once a year... I hear the economy is dismal there right now... but the vegas i know is always jumping! I'm glad to see that you're doing your part! Best, LM
