I Would Describe Myself As

I'm independent, resourceful and passionate, seeking friendship, then possible long term relationship.
I am a retired journalist turned wine consultant so I'm knowledgable about wines. Prefer viognier over chardonnay and pretty much like the spectrum of reds. Champagne holds the key to my heart!
I spent most of my life writing and editing news and features for newspapers and magazines and after 27 years, I slowed down a little to the wine consultant stint.
I am retired because I got a diagnosis of MS - a real pain in the butt, but my new "walking pill" (FDA approved in March) will be ariving soon - YAY!
MS is what I have - not who I am and I have it, it does NOT have me!
I love to cook and I serve as a host on recipezaar where my expertise is in the wine category of the beverages forum.I have "invented" an item and as soon as I can get the trademark for it, will sell it to a major wine house for a percentage of the sales.
Also creating some new craft projects that I'll publish in magazines, when I finish them.
