With an estimated 80,000 wineries worldwide, the US is 4th in the world in wine production. Often absent from the narrative are the independently run, Black-owned wineries with roots dating back as far as the early 1940’s with John June Lewis, Sr. of Virginia. Serving as a vehicle to further increase awareness of the diversity in the wine industry, Urban Connoisseurs is partnering with Uncorked & Cultured a lifestyle media platform, to host the inaugural 2021 International Winemakers Summit (IWS), a virtual 3-day eve

Some people may think that doing their own furnace repairs is a simple way to save money, but in the long run it may not only wind up costing you more money, but can be dangerous too. The smart solutions is to leave major household repairs, such as   furnace repairs to the experts.  Here is why. Warranty Many furnaces come with limited warranties that state they will only be covered if serviced by a licensed professional.  By taking repairs into your own hands, you may be voiding your warranty.  Professionals are able to spot defective parts and mechanical issues that would be covered under warranty, that you may not be able to detect.  This would save you out of pocket costs. Carbon Monoxide Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can kill you.   It’s found in fumes that are produced when you burn  fuel.  Since furnaces burn fuel, they produce carbon monoxide.  CO can build up indoors and poison people and animals who breathe it. If your furnace has a leak, and you don’t

  Never did I dream, 10 years ago, while writing my very first post, that I’d still be blogging 10 years later. Blogging is a lot of hard work and takes a lot more time than you could ever dream. Some of my posts take hours to write up, and I couldn’t even tell you how many photos I’ve taken over the years. I think the best thing that has come out of blogging is the wonderful people I’ve met, the close friendships I’ve developed and the places I’ve been.  It has also given me the opportunity to discover brands and products that I’ve come to love. I want to thank each and every one of you who visit my site, read my posts, and enter my giveaways.  You all mean so much more to me than you’ll ever know.  So today. I celebrate all of you!  ~💕 Patty
