When I was a young boy, I was taught that relationships with family and friends should be honored and enjoyed.   As my own boys grow and my life gets busier, I find myself appreciating and working hard to keep memories and traditions of my youth alive. Of course, I’ve had to put my own twist on things so I’ve spent many winter evenings, wine in hand, grilling something to share with whoever happens to be sitting at my dinner table.

Last night we had some friends over, opened a couple of bottles of wine and enjoyed a great dinner. Life doesn’t get much better. Salute!!
