Sandy Block, who is a Master of Wine, a credential NOT MANY people in this country can boast, is not only INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about wine, but he is down-to-earth and FUN!! What better recipe for a Spices of Life program? Especially since we feel that a knowledge and appreciation of wine is part of the "enjoyment of life" experience. Sandy, not only provides some great tips about some of his favorite summer wines, but he helps us debunk some myths about the "rules" that we have come to associate with wine. Sandy, in his articulate, but diplomatic manner TRASHES them all. It’s a blast and what better fun than to sip and enjoy some great wines on a summer, fall, or winter’s day? A Votre Sante or Gan Bei, as they say in Chinese which means "Bottoms Up"!! Nina Less
