What I Love Wednesday...or, a tribute to The Godfather.

I've been in hiding for a while, school started last week and I've been tiiiiiiiired. Like naps on the couch after work tired. (Ok, that only happened twice...)

School's been good, I have a lovely group of students! I can't believe it's already been almost two weeks!

Anyway, to restart my blogging, I decided to share what I'm loving today....wines from our favorite winery, which happens to be owned by the director of our favorite movie (The Godfather)....Francis Ford Coppola.

~ Wine Club Delivery Day!~

Oh my goodness, it was almost two years ago when Joe and I got a groupon to visit the "new" Francis Ford Coppola Winery up in the Sonoma Valley. Note to self on future wine-trips: always eat breakfast before your 11:30 tour. We ran out of time for breakfast, had a fantastic time on the tour and ~magically~ enjoyed every single tasted we had in the tasting room. Yes, by noon I was a "Wine Family" member. And every few months I'm pleasantly surprised with the delicious wines they send us. (It also makes shopping for wine very easy - I don't have to do it!)

Today's yummies? We have a Diamond Collection Sauvignon Blanc, a Director's Cut Pinot Noir, a Diamond Collection Malbec, and a Rosso & Bianco Chardonnay. Can't wait to bring these puppies to a party to share! And another perk of today's shipment?! A fantastic wine carrier bag! So excited.

Here's a fun fact: the tables at our wedding were named for characters in The Godfather. Also, Joe and his mom shared their mother-son dance to The Godfather Love Theme  (you know it, in fact, you're humming it right now....)

Crazy, I'd never even seen the movie til dating my husband... :)
