This week's wine pic comes from Billsboro Winery, with Vinny Aliperti. "You may not know this, but one of Vinny's first winemaking gigs was at Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Long Island. After three vintages, he started his next chapter in the FLX at Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, eventually joining Atwater Wine as head winemaker. Even after purchasing Billsboro in 2006, Vinny remains the head winemaker at Atwater, where he makes wines for both Billsboro and Atwater.

Tax Time Preparation

It’s time again to think about your annual income tax return. Now is the time to organize your documents as they are available. Create an electronic basket to store them and then print copies for a physical file. This includes receipts for deductible expenses and contributions. It may also be helpful to create a spreadsheet that will automatically total so that you have a good idea whether or not you can itemize. Read more.
