Recently I was looking for a deal on a MP3 player for my son-in-law. I pulled out my usual Web shopping bag-of-tricks, starting with Google of course. Just typing in "best MP3 player" results in all sorts of informative reviews and comparison sites. It can be onerous though sifting...
Ehlers Estate wine club shipment
A rare and special event! Ehlers, unlike most wine clubs, only ships once per year (March 1). Yesterday we received our shipment as I expect many of you lovers of great Napa cabs will be as well. A couple of interesting observations...
