The Best Honey You Have Ever Tasted

When we were in Savannah for our Executive Women's Leadership Conference (AFIRE--Awesome Females in Real Estate) we were introduced to the most wonderful honey that I have ever tasted anywhere. Winter White honey from the Savannah Bee Company is to the world of honey what a fine cognac is to those who enjoy drinking. According to the Savannah Bee Company website, 

Winter White comes from the delicate wildflowers near the North Pole. This exquisite honey has a creamy color and a smooth texture that feels like snow melting on your tongue. 

I have to agree. They suggest putting the honey on scones or in hot chocolate. My preference was taking a small teaspoon and having it directly from the jar. The flavor and consistency are amazing. We also like the Tupelo and the Acacia, but they aren't close from my perspective to Winter White. 

A 12 oz jar of Winter White retails for $15.00. If you know someone who is a honey aficianado or who is just a honey of a person, this makes a great gift.

The $1,400 Bottle of Grappa

When is a bottle of Grappa worth $1,400? When it's in a Baccarat bottle of Crystal. At Real Estate Connect we stayed at the Marriott Marquis hotel which is just steps from the theaters on Broadway and from Times Square. There are two wonderful little Italian restaurants just about two blocks from the hotel. The first of these is La Revista. We had as magnificent 5 course meal for only $38.00 per person, which was the same price the hotel charged for room service bacon, eggs, and coffee. The service and the food were both exceptional. On our way out, the owner explained about the various liquors in their locked case. An expensive bottle of Grappa (the cheap versions are similar to drinking white lightning or "everclear") is $200-$300. Obviously, the owner explained that this was more like a fine cognac. Good for warmth on a 22 degree, windy January night. 

BTW, this is my first post using my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. Taking pictures with the iPhone is very easy and the quality is similar to that of our regular digital camera. "MobileMe" automatically synchs the photos to my computer so I don't have to download them. It also dates them which my Palm didn't do--you had to go in and rename the photos, save them to a file, and then upload them to your computer and do your post.
