Hello   
Welcome to March~Watch for Robins! :) 

Time to think and celebrate all things SPRING!

So sit back and relax and enjoy a glass of wine.  
Mardi Gras and  St. Patricks Day( it's ok to drink wine too!)
Time to tuneup your bike or your lawnmower, maybe start to tackle the garage! (no, best to have another glass of wine!) I'm putting my snowblower in storage  :)
 
Here's a couple of great Irish dishes and the wine that pairs well with each! 
Bangers and Mash;   Juicy sausages and mashed(Mash) potatoes.  Try a glass of Shiraz(syrah).
Corned Beef and Cabbage ! Salty beef and tender cabbage. Pair with Pinot Noir, bright with acidity!
Fish n Chips!    The Irish prepare the chips 'steak style' or thick cut and enjoy with salt and malt vinegar! Enjoy with a nice glass of Riesling.

DID YOU KNOW!    Grapes are, in fact, the most planted fruit crop in the world, but not as many as you'd think go into producing wine. In California, for example, only 47% of the grapes grown are wine grapes; the majority is for table grapes or raisins.
