ALWAYS A SEASON FOR RELISHING...

With this account, another Harvest List ends. Thanks Napa earth for forgiving my city slicker antics to gift me with what you’ve given. Any other normal human being would have gotten ten times as much but Moi with the brown thumbs is grateful for whatever I received.

And here are other relishes with moi latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! More info on that HERE.
