nice wine, nice taste, but a bit heavy in its effect. great for falling asleep :)

The Arrowleaf White Feather 2008 is one of those wines that taste really nice when first opened but lose a lot if you drink them after they have been in the fridge opened for a day. Then again, still nice as a spritzer after a day. Blend of Bacchus, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Gewuerztraminer.

OMG, read the recipe!!!

From the page:

"Margaret Trudeau speaks with candour and insight about the illness that silently shaped her life -- a life lived often in turbulence and in the publicâ€s fascination. Plagued since childhood by extreme moods, Margaret was ill-prepared for the high-profile role into which she was cast at age twenty-two, as Canadaâ€s youngest first lady. Captivated by her high spirits, youth and beauty, Canadians fell in love with Margaret, just as they had with her charismatic husband, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, three years earlier.

But away from the cameras and the public appearances, and increasingly isolated at 24 Sussex Drive, Margaret struggled with a growing depression offset by bouts of mania.

Under intense international scrutiny, Margaret Trudeau has survived remarkable highs and devastating lows. Since regaining control of her life, she has brought her formidable passion to helping others, be they Canadians suffering from mental illness or families living without access to water half a world away."

From the page: "many people look to others to be the agents of inclusion, of acceptance, of belonging, and of change rather than recognizing we all have the ability and the responsibility to include, accept, invite, and change our communities if needed.

The fact is our communities are a shared creation by those of us who live in them. Our way of living is the result of our collective thoughts and actions. Rather than perceive another as the leader or agent of change, it is imperative that we recognize that each of us has the capacity as well as the responsibility for deciding how we share the spaces and resources of this planet.

One of the more powerful experiences of my journey was the in-flight movie. The film was the documentary "This Is It" which captures the rehearsals for the concert Michael Jackson was producing prior to his passing. In the documentary Jackson speaks directly to the camera and says - "This Is It. If we want change, it's up to us."
