Jack’s Wines

North Carolina, Road Trip, States

It was Cherry Bounce that brought us back to Linville Falls Winery. Last time we were here we had to stop back by to get two more bottles of George Washington’s favorite. This time we got to meet the founder, Jack Wiseman, and taste a white blend he is developing. Like last time we really enjoyed the camaraderie cultivated this time by our hostess, Teddy. Then we enjoyed a visit out on the patio with Linda & Gary with whom we have a lot in common. And besides some Cherry Bounce, we came away with some Strawberry Stover and some Mountain White!

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
