Weekend Recap

I had a fabulous weekend. Saturday was my monthly Central New York Romance Writer‘s meeting, where I learned I won the election for president next year. The chapter also held its quarterly celebration of great news, so I received roses for having sold a book.

First Sale Roses

After the meeting, my besties (a/k/a The Purples) and I went out for a light dinner and a few laughs.

TV Stevie and I started watching the series, The Newsroom, which we both enjoyed.

Sunday was lovely, too. An extra hour of sleep started the day right. TV Stevie and I went out to breakfast, then he gave me a private tour of the new facility where he works. He’s been there since the end of February, so this was kind of overdue. I spent the rest of the afternoon editing, then cooked a nice meal (Chicken Parmesan and green salad, with red wine).

I wish I could enjoy every day as much as I enjoyed these two.

Worldwide Wine Shortage?

There was a report about a possible worldwide wine shortage that had people commenting on Facebook. And New York State is making plans to benefit from the alleged shortage.

Lots of people don’t agree with this report.

Washington State is having an excellent harvest, as did California. Both Spain and Argentina are flourishing. And there may be a surplus of Italian wines, as wine consumption is down in Italy.

What may be true is an issue of pricing.

I wouldn’t panic about a wine shortage yet.
