    Drink of the week: Eve Chardonnay- Eve is pure, tempting, and undeniably Washington State. With fresh, fruity flavors and a crisp, bright mouth feel reminiscent of Washington State’s famous apples, this dry Chardonnay has been winning awards ever since its grapes left the garden. Some say Adam and Eve taught the rest of us about good and evil. Which explains how, today, we know damn well that our Eve Chardonnay is wickedly good.

Love them!

I’ve been listening to Katie and Mr. Danny since pretty close to the beginning, and I just love this podcast. Their relationship is so sweet and you can tell how much they enjoy each other’s company. Mr. Danny is a natural born storyteller! He makes me feel like we’re just sitting around the dinner table talking! They just keep getting better, and I’ve been loving the guests they have! Keep up the good work guys!
