Other Things on This Site

Reyn Spooner - how about a nice Hawaiian shirt? Reyn Spooner makes some nice ones, including an annual Christmas shirt. So, here's a link to my own page of Reyn Spooner Christmas shirts patterns. Funny thing, Reyn Spooner themselves has never had such a thing. Go figure.
Travels - in addition to wine travels, my family and I have also taken a couple of European vacations, as well as some bareboating in the BVI.
