It Ain’t Easy Being Green Update: Call it the luck of the Irish, but this morning I decided to bring a festive treat to work for my co-workers so I stopped at Dahl’s to pick up some St. Patty’s donuts. Well, I guess everyone else was thinking the same thing because when I got to the office there were green bagels from Bruegger’s and shamrock cookies. It was definitely treatpolooza today!

No joke, these were neon green!

Can't pinch this gal!

Recently, Marcus and I came across a wine shop in our neighborhood that was having a free tasting so we decided to check it out. It didn’t take us long to decide that we liked the place and wanted to return soon (and often). WineStyles is actually a chain of stores located in 21 different states across the country. Luckily, we have one close to home in West Des Moines that features some great wines and even nicer owners. Andrea and Bryan welcomed us into their store and made us feel right at home. Of course we had to sign up to be members of their wine club. It’s such a steal at $34.99 a month for two bottles plus a ton of other great perks and discounts.

I was recruiting for them this week when I brought my mom and Marcus’ sister-in-law Adrianne along with me to a free portfolio tasting. I couldn’t get out of there without buying a few bottles, so tomorrow night Marcus and I are going to go pick them up and possibly uncork one to try it out in store. If you are in the West Glen area anytime soon, I urge you to pop in and see what you can find. I’ll guarantee you’ll come back!
