We are living through some unprecedented circumstances, and it is hard to know how to keep everything in perspective and remain calm. It is okay to be scared, just don’t be scary. If you’ve decide to self-quarantine out of a sense of abundant caution, trying to adjust our thinking is the way to go. See this as a time to explore things you wouldn’t normally pursue: learn something new, try a new recipe, explore a virtual museum, or start to make a dent in the TBR “To Be Read” pile. Here are a few additional ideas:

January Book Club Wines
Our January Book (and wine) Club was The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. The wines selected were from Austria and Germany and included:
- Elfenhof Gewurztraminer Spatlese – Sweet wine with lower alcohol content, full of pear and nutmeg with a hint of rose on the nose.
- Grüner Veltliner 2018 Winzer Krems – Crisp and dry with citrus notes.
- Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler Reisling 2018 – Aromatic, not dry but not overly sweet.
My favorite was the Reisling. The wines were purchased at Total Wine. The Reisling was the most expensive at $35, the Grüner was $13 and the Elfenhof Gewurtztraminer was $19.
