NTS Wine Tasting, LLC
“The (NTS) tasting was the perfect setting to ask all the ‘dumb’ questions you have about wine … The crowd is as eclectic as the wines.” –The New York Times.
“Stop by one of the Neighborhood Tasting Society’s fabulous food parties. At these food fetes, wine is served in a totally user-friendly way. [Their] mission is to improve your life without getting caught up in the pretentiousness of the wine-tasting world.” –The New York Post“… as the Zinfandel (at the NTS tasting) was described by the instructor as ‘sex in a glass,’ a man standing next to me seized the moment: When I drink this, it’s like seeing God.” – Mademoiselle
COACHING
When I came to Stefani for coaching, I told her that I’d never pushed myself to my athletic potential and that at 41, it was time to see what I had
– and where I could go. She asked, “How hard are you willing to work?” I gulped, “to the max.” And, wow, what a max season it was!
I started the 2004 season in March as a new Category 4 and won my first race; Grant’s Tomb. After a bunch of top 3 finishes, I ended the
season as a Category 2 and on a kickin’ new team. Look out 2005!
