2009 La Petite Tour Classic White. My call 88. This is a crisp white wine. Nothing special, but tasty. I paid around $6.00 but feel this is a good value retail at $6.99 to $9.99.

Somewhere along the years I heard celery root was good for what ails you. As I recall, it helps with blood ailments, promotes a healthy nervous system, and improves memory.

Until this week I had never seen this root at the grocery. Out of curiosity I bought one to try it. Not knowing what to do with it I fgured I would either steam it or bake it.

I chose to bake it. I cut the root up into roughly 1 inch cubes. Then wrapping it in foil with butter, a sprinkle of basil, garlic salt and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, I set oven to 375 degrees and baked for 45 minutes.

The time must have been just right.The pieces were soft but firm. Yummy good with beets that I also baked. The combination of the white root and red root was pleasing to the eye and the tongue.

I suggest that when you see it in the store - Buy it!

2006 Geja's Big Bold Red Table Wine

My call: 89. This is an interesting wine. I am not sure what variety to call it. Let's say it is as it's named, "Big Bold Red Table Wine." I like this wine very much! It had a kick for the buck and was very enjoyable to drink. Wet tasty red! I paid $5.91 and think this is easily worth $8.99 to $9.99.
