I came across this recently in a World Market store. As a foodie with only moderate wine knowledge (some refer to us as “Wineaux“), the bottling caught my attention as a fun, casual and inexpensive wine for any occasion!

Why buy a B&B now?
Many of us suspect that people are going to realize that buying an inn actually buys them a job. It’s a job, a lifestyle and an investment that can often provide a rather comfortable income.
