organic wine.

the rockfish hosted an organic wine tasting at the restaurant tuesday night in annapolis…bacchus importers was on hand pouring frog’s leap sauvignon blanc, among others, and answering questions about the wine as well as the organic growing process. basically, organic wine is better for the land, better for your health, and better for your conscience. so drink up!

here’s what frog’s leap winemakers have to say about why they farm organically:

“If it makes sense that the grapes reflect the soils in which they’re grown, doesn’t it make sense to provide the most healthly, rich soil environment from which the vines can take their nutrients? Balancing our soils with organic matter results in deeply rooted vines and better quality fruit. Better quality grapes means better tasting wine. For us, organics just make good sense.”

*also* checkout more about how the rockfish is making some seriously impressive strides in promoting a local recycling program for area businesses and operating as a certified green business.

terralogos green home services was also part of this event, speaking with guests about how to effectively “invest in your home, not the power company!” – their company logo.

bobby + andrea.

introducing…the chesneys!

bobby and andrea are coolest couple i know.

from the moment i met them i loved them both – they are energetic, funny, sincere people who share an inspiring kind of love.

two weeks ago they flew to jamaica where they got marrried surrounded by their very closest family and friends in an intimate church ceremony, steps from the ocean on the lucky date 07.07.07…

last night however, almost 200 people gathered in york, pennsylvania, to welcome the newlyweds home and celebrate with a second reception.

it was incredible! it’s easy to see why bobby and andrea are so awesome – they have the most amazing families, and great friends – and they all certainly how to party! the dancefloor never emptied, there were countless sing-a-longs, and the homemade limoncello flowed all night long!

i had a blast, photographing and getting to know everyone, and just being around these ecstatic newlyweds!

bobby + andrea: thank you so much for wanting me to capture your evening, i love you both, am honored to have you as my friends, and wish you all the happiness in the world…although i’m pretty sure you’ve already found it.

enjoy!!

yellow baby.

yellow-watermelon.jpg

this illusive yellow watermelon found its way into my local amish market produce section yesterday…originally from spain, the ‘graciosa’ tastes very similar to the traditional red watermelon, if not a little sweeter…
