INNOVATIVE BRILLIANCE OR SHORT-SIGHTED PRESENTATION?
My Wine Business class has ended, but it has sparked an ongoing curiosity about business decisions that are made regarding wine.

FRESHLY CUT
There is nothing more luxurious to me than freshly cut flowers in the house. In college, I would splurge once a month on a bouquet of something pretty from the Whole Foods in Santa Fe.
