Holly's New Mommy & Daddy, Adirondacks, NY


Dear Susan,

This is in our cellar and was taken for a wine society picture a few years ago as Terry is a founding member and we needed a press photo. Terry at one time, was one of the world's leading wine writers...he was the first NY Times wine columnist and actually authored the NY Times Book of Wines. ( He's written five
wine books in his life time ) He also was the first wine writer for Gourmet magazine, a columnist for Wine Spectator and editor of Wine Enthusiast Magazine- and the business has been very good to him as he's seen the world over. He has been a judge for the Mondial - World Wine Tasting Competition in Belgium and France
many times. I am very proud of him and his accomplishments.

These days he no longer writes like he use to, and it is difficult to stay on top of rapidly changing technology .
He is slowing down after spending decades traveling in a high profile position. I do the writing in the family now - I've written two books
on celluloid plastics and am currently working on the research for a third book on the oldest theme park in the nation.
I'm also a columnist for a regional newspaper and I write for AntiqueWeek newspaper as well. So - we are writers mostly, but I am also a musician and an antique dealer. Life is good - and busy!

I just wanted to show you our home and introduce ourselves to you so you are a little more familiar with us.

Julie
