On Wine and Art
06.30.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsIt seems as if almost every trip I make to my local (name shall remain anonymous) wine shop I am met with no small amount of laconic response and less-than-excited customer service.

VIsual Fridays: Erika Larsen
“I have come on a search to understand the primal drive of the modern hunter by taking an inclusive look at an original hunter-gatherer society. I have come to see if when the land speaks there are those that can interpret its language. I have come in search of silence so that I could begin [...]
