So what does it take to make it best? First off, the rosé itself has to be good. If your base sucks, your frosé has no hope. I like a lighter rosé and nothing…

Top 10 Things To Do On The North Fork This Summer

Three times this past weekend I heard that “Summer is over”. Uhhh, no, it’s not… and if that’s your opinion we can’t be friends. LOL. So, as Summer just begins, I wanted to share my top 10 things to do on the North Fork this Summer.  My boyfriend Tom’s family has a summer house on the North Fork in a cute little town I’d rather not name because I’m afraid of murderers. haha, but seriously.
