…the newest member of the LENNDEVOURS team, a ten-month old beagle we rescued from a local shelter yesterday. Meet Ben Rothlisbeagle (named for the quarterback of my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers). We’ll just call him Ben or Benny. He’s still very nervous and getting used to our house…but he definitely perked up last night when I opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Nena. His fine-tuned nose was working overtime…and that’s when I knew it was meant to be. So welcome aboard Ben…it’s going to be fun!

This Sunday, August 14th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Castello di Borghese is hosting a "Sensation Celebration." Admission is free and includes a performance by guitarist-vocalist Walter Finley and hors d’ oeuvres by Black Tie Caterers. Wine will be available by the glass, at the regular prices, at the tasting bar. CdB owns and uses some of the region’s oldest vines (the Island’s first commercial vineyard is now part of their holdings)…try the reserve pinot noir.
