Random thoughts about Liz

So you want to know something about me.

Well, I was born and raised in Chicago. Came to Cleveland to go to Case.

When I’m not at work I love cooking, baking, wine, knitting, and I exercise a lot (how else do you think I can love food and wine yet stay skinny?). Mike and I both enjoy watching movies together. Take a look at what we have seen.

I teach wine classes for Case Western Alumni and private parties. For more information, check out the Drinkable Grape, that one day will have information.

I hold an Advanced Certificate from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. In 2006, I will start studying for the Diploma program which takes a minimum of 2 years.

Like Mike, people are always asking me what to get for gifts, so, here are some suggestions.

• Anything from my Amazon gift list.
• Going from my list of hobbies, gift certificates toward doing the stuff I like.
  • Exercise: Athleta
  • Cooking and Baking: Sur la Table (they are opening a store near me sometime)
  • Wine: A good bottle is ALWAYS welcome. I want to drink a bottle of wine from all 50 states. Get me something from a state I haven’t tried yet.
  • Knitting: Fun yarn is welcome
  • Chocolate: Always open to very nice, high end chocolate, especially truffles.
    • Some places I haven’t tried, Telluride Truffles
    • Wild Sweets
    • Richard Donnelly
    • Recchiuti Confections
