Second time through and still a delightful charmer!

This is such a delightful book to read; wonderfully written! Not necessarily a child’s book, definitely something all adults with any amount of wineries in their heart would love. This is my second time through and well worth your time to cozy up with your favorite drink and snack! But please...no bacon!
