CABERNET FRANC DAY

On December 4th, Cabernet Franc Day celebrates this exquisite wine. Also known as Cab Franc Day, this is a day to learn more about this kind of wine.

Cabernet Franc is often referred to as the father of another popular wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. This is because Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc forged together to make Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc is usually used as a blending grape in Bordeaux. This black grape is usually blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

However, lovers of this grape want people to know Cab Franc is so much more than a blending grape. The grape makes a delicious medium-bodied red wine. It produces a mouthwatering taste and bell pepper-like. Other flavors associated with the wine include raspberry, black cherry, raspberry, and chili pepper.

Funny you should ask about my collections. As gold started to go up in price I gravitated to sterling silver. I didn’t start following Heidi Daus until a few years ago. When she started with HSN I found her jewelry to be too ostentatious for me, but her artistry intrigued me. My mom would have loved her jewelry. Mom loved anything big and bright. But she passed before Heidi was on HSN. The sterling and others I have purchased over the years through HSN and other web sites. Today I am scaling back and only purchase when the price is right or it’s something I really like and would cry if it would sell out. As for the Prestige boxes. I purchased one to try in the beginning. A year later I needed a sterling bracelet and when I reached into the box I was amazed that all my pieces were looking brand new. I really think you will enjoy these boxes and if you are like me, you will purchase another large one. I will be using this one for the costume jewelry. I still have pieces from my mom that I like to wear from time to time.

My neighbor who is next door is a RN and she checks on me two or three times a week. Nice person. I do not lose complete consciousness when I pass out. This time I was at the computer and was able to get to the bed and recline until it past. The phone is next to me at the computer and when I was able, contacted my physician. Right away he said it was food poisoning and if it continued he would meet me at the ER.. Today I am OK as if nothing happened. From what I heard, he reported everything to the FDA . It could also be a sulfite thing. I found something that could be a culprit in the stuffing I purchased which wasn’t Pepperidge. I wanted to try something organic and when I checked online there were no sulfites in the ingredients. Consequently when I happened to see this at a warehouse I reached for it without looking at the label. This one, no way, was organic, even though it said so on the package. Never assume. Another lesson learned, the hard way.
