ARTICLE
Riesling is made in numerous New and Old World regions: Alsace, Australia, Austria, all throughout Germany, New York State’s Finger Lakes, Oregon, and Washington State to name a few. It is one of the most food-friendly and age-worthy wines, some capable of cellaring for decades. Though many consumers believe it to be a sweet wine (and Riesling does make delicious sweet dessert wines), for the most part, they are dry table wines—some searingly and excitingly so.
You won’t want to wait decades to drink these though and if you need an excuse to start your Riesling discovery, here’s a case to consider: Anthony Road Riesling 2020, Finger Lakes, New York. Read more.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
These days one often hears the term that someone is “on the spectrum”. Of course, they are referring to the developmental disability autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study of this disorder is barely in its infancy. We do know that sometimes it is a genetic condition, but sometimes not. In those other instances, the professionals don’t always have a definitive cause. Read More.

Indigo
On the rainbow spectrum, indigo is a combination of purple or violet and blue. Since it is a hybrid, it is considered secondary or complementary on the color wheel. However, whether indigo really belongs here is still up for debate. Read more.

Quick and Easy Casseroles
As we move into spring, life may seem a bit more hectic. That is why a quick and easy meal is always welcome. You can save yourself a little more time if you cook the protein (ground beef, chicken) in advance so that it becomes more of an assembly. Don’t rule out store bought rotisserie chicken. Read More.
