Wine and Food Tasting - July 1st & 2nd

UGH! Found out I'm outside grilling.  That means I won't be pouring wine.  But, I'll try and have a refreshing non-alcholic beverage.  This also means, if Saturday is too hot for me, I won't be working Sunday.  Which could snowball to losing my job, but such is life.  Not off to a banner start at my new store.  (Apologies for venting, but hot weather doesn't agree with me, lost the AC at the house and won't be replaced until Monday, and add a hot grill to that ... not pretty.) 

Yippee!!! I'll be inside sampling.  So, I'll still be employed by TFM on Sunday.  Someone else will be outside grilling and bringing me the hamburgers and hot dogs.  Now we can have a party.  I'll be wearing two hats - wine distributor and TFM employee.  Hope below makes sense.

I'm Back!

No, I have not dropped off the face of the earth.  Nor have I retired.  Life has been so hectic.  I will begin posting again.  

Posts will resume next week.  I'll be sampling at TFM Commonwealth Pkwy (off Hull St.).  I have transferred from the Huguenot store to here.  I will be doing required samplings from TFM Corporate, but will be opening wine.  TFM Commonwealth Pkwy. has a great wine selection so I'm looking forward to wandering and choosing what to pour. Hopefully, Pam (store manager) will let me do other samplings as well.  It's always fun to try new products and recipes.

In the meantime, I am headed to the Fancy Food Show in NYC.
