My W(h)ine in Arizona


I'm here at MEC 2008, the Micro Computers in Education Conference in Tempe, Arizona at Arizona State University. I haven't posted in awhile.I've been traveling and working very hard with the online training component of my company, Moodlerooms. However, I have not stopped drinking wine.
Traveling last week in Las Vegas at the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education
Conference 2008 (SITE), I had a distinct pleasure. I had a Delmonico steak dinner paired with a Rancho Zabaco Zinfandel. The combination was fabulous!! Delicious! I wish you could have been there!

Before I Forget....

I'd like to create a short list of the wines I've had the pleasure of drinking since April 2007. They are in no particular order.They are all available from Wine.com, my trusty online source for great wine.As a New Yorker, I do have access to some wonderful wine stores. My favorite store is Sherry -Lehmann in Manhattan. I'd also have to give kudos to Morrell's and PJ Wine, also in NYC. On Long Island Stew Leonard's is a great wine shopping experience as well. I can only highly recommend these selections listed below.From the first sip to the last, these wines made me want to inform wine lovers in cyberspace of their attributes and encourage others to run out and purchase them at their favorite wine location.
