I have a favor to ask of my readers. I need you guys to read this article from GrindTV.com about saving the Colorado River. After you read this article I would love it if you guys could share this and help spread the word.

The Colorado River is one of the most famous rivers in America. It flows through seven states and supports over 35 million people but most people do not know that the river is rapidly running dry. Check out the article below by David Strege and please remember to share this article with friends!

Good Views, Good Wine, Good Times



If you are from the North East and love to gamble than you have probably ventured over to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. But I guarantee very few people have visited Stonington Vineyard just a few miles away from Foxwoods.

Wine tasting at Stonington Vineyards
Stonington Vineyards is a small yet elegant family owned vineyard. They have tours available and I recommend doing the tour to appreciate this families hard work. If tours aren't your thing don't worry it only last about 10 mins. Then it's on to the fun part.......Wine Tasting!!

Honestly, I've done my fair share of wine tasting but this is the only place where I loved every wine I consumed. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty generous with the wine. I went last year in May with three other friends and we ended up spending four hours sitting on the patio drinking, enjoying the views and having a good time.
