    If you like traveling with wine, try the more travel- and eco-friendly packaging from brands like French Rabbit (http://www.frenchrabbit.com/). Their TetraPack material has a LOT less packaging (3% the material of an ordinary bottle) but contains a lot more wine (twice as much, in fact).

    There are a lot of brands using this kind of packaging now, and I usually browse the local Whole Foods or wine shop to see what’s available (seems like there’s a new brand available each time I go!).

    Maria Taylor?! No way! This woman actually did (unknowingly) sing me to sleep as half of Azure Ray through lots of my miserable teen years. How brilliant!
