    Comments Off on Change In The Weather

    Sometimes there is a powerfully resonating element of déjà-vu to my day and it’s a bit hard to explain.  Like take this post.  I could swear I wrote something about these wines, but I don’t know where it went.  So I am writing what feels like my second Damilano post in a week.  This is just weird…

    Comments Off on (Take Another Little) Piece Of My Heart

    [NERD ALERT! Forgive me my good friends, but sometimes, the poet in me escapes and will not be denied a soapbox upon which to deliver another corny soliloquy about wine, beauty and love. You’ve been warned.]

    Do you ever have a moment when you find yourself wandering aimlessly in a place that feels like a dream?  A dream where what you are seeing is of extraordinary beauty and grace it cannot possibly be real?
