Sauvignon Blanc: The Signature Sip of New Zealand

I have no idea where February went. One day it's January 29 and the next it's March 1 and it gets me every single year. The good news is that it's time again for our monthly Twitter Mom's wine tasting party. Our wine for this month is Brancott Vineyard's Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Now for those of you who are already making faces thinking that a Sauvingnon Blanc is going to be sweet, think again. I was quite…See More

Survey says..... Here are the results from the TM Wine Tasting Twitter Party Survey:

Thank you so much to all you fabulous moms who responded to our survey about what kinds of wine you'd like to taste at our monthly Wine Tasting Twitter Party. Without further ado here's what you said:Almost 60 percent of you want us to break it up about 50/50 between red and white wines.Half of you are interested in trying a global selection of wines with another 30 percent indifferent as to the wine's origin. So we'll definitely extend our international reach over the coming months.Sixty…See More

Sex In A Glass! Don't miss this month's TM Wine Tasting Party.

This month we're going to be tasting a Pinot Noir from California. You might remember Pinot Noir as the much rhapsodized wine from the 2004 Sideways. The wine is highly romanticized because when done well it is highly complex with subtle flavors reflective of the growing region. However, it is also known as being fickle and hard to work with as the fruit is highly susceptible to disease while on the vine and the flavor varies a lot from year to year.

So what to pair with this… Continue

Drink Pink and Chill Out on Friday #tmwc

I love the bottle for this month's #tmwc wine tasting – the Leverano Rosato is one of my summer favorites. It's glorious hue may remind you of white zin, but don't even think about them in the same sentence. This dry rose (rhymes with chardonnay but I can't find that accent mark on the keyboard) is crisp, a little acidic and absolutely refreshing. Drink it chilled like you would a white wine.

The wine gets it's color from red-skinned grapes. When the grapes are crushed the skins stay… Continue

I, too, am a graphic designer/art director/freelancer. My real job is for a publishing co in michigan laying out 2 monthly mags in the construction industry. I launched a site (my fake, fun job) called Southern MOMentum (www.southernmomentum.com) in December.. it is a magazine-type, humorous blog w/dirty little secrets, giveaways, shortcuts & tips, hollywood scoop, day in the life of mom stories etc. Check it out. I am looking for some Chapel Hill scoop (products, mom owned businesses etc) so would love to pick your brain sometime. Btw, we have a post coming up you may like on "girly" wines with cute labels.

Just stopping by to let you know that my new music video for my lullaby Child of Sunshine is finished! Would love to know what you think :)

You can see it at: http://www.lullaby-link.com
If you enjoy it, please share it with as many people as you can.

All downloads from now through the end of 2009 will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network as they helped us so much when our son was born 6 weeks early.

Hope you are well!

At 8:58pm on May 8, 2009, Elizabeth Shugg said…: Hi Laura,

I'm writing to introduce you to a new website I launched for Triangle parents a little over a year ago. Triangle TRACKS, located online at www.triangletracks.com, is an acronym for "Tools, Resources and Activities for Carolina Kids." As a local mom of three and a former magazine editor, I've come across lots of great resources for kids in the Triangle region, so I decided to put them all on ONE website for local families to use. Triangle TRACKS is also a social networking site for parents, so those who join can post blogs, forums, calendar events and other information for other parents to see. I also issue a free, monthly e-newsletter filled with children’s events and resources planned for that month. Let me know if you’d like to subscribe.

Due to the success of Triangle TRACKS, I started Charlotte TRACKS at www.charlottetracks.com for parents in the Charlotte region last month. I’m hoping it will achieve the same success as Triangle TRACKS.

I wanted to reach out to you to find out if you could let your Triangle friends know about this site via email, Twitter or other social networking sites you belong to. And if you get a chance, let me know what you think of Triangle TRACKS.

By the way, my Twitter URL is http://twitter.com/triangletracks.

Thanks,
Elizabeth Shugg
