Wine Country Table

The Mommies Reviews

David loves Wines and for Christmas I would like to get David a new Wine Cabinet. I would like to find one that has shelves so we can put cookbooks in it. Which I would like to collect. Then David and I can learn about different Wines.

To start our collection of Wine Books I would like to let you know I received a copy of Wine Country Table in exchange for a spot in this years Christmas Gift Guide Shopping for: Food.

I can’t wait to see what David thinks of Wine Country Table David’s mom who also loves Wine. I am sure once Sherry see’s the new book she will want to get a copy for her sister Judy.
