Thursday Aug 03, 2017
Today Chaz and I return to our financial series with revisiting plans we helped Jermey with on our last Financial episode. The major long term goals we had Jermeey addressing were A new bank account, a credit card and what would be his new living arrangement (purchase and renting). We get something totally unexpected but hold on to hope that our advice would not fall on deaf ears.

Amazons new products are the Echo Look a camera enabled device for fashion and the Echo Show that has a tablet size screen attached to it.
We also put our two cents into the "Whole Foods" acquisition and what does it mean to the grocery market in the future. Whole Foods Market was acquired by Amazon June 16, 2017 at 13.7 billion dollars

Google upgrades Home/Assistant
Sunday Jul 09, 2017
Sunday Jul 09, 2017
On todays Women tech talk, Alicia and I talk about the new features of Google assistant and Google home that she got to experience while she was at Google I/O. This was a good effort Google showed better thanthe previous year and a good challenge to the other two major players in the assistant realm (Alexa, Siri) as well as the home automation market. We not only have a google home now but we both downloaded the the google assistant on our Iphones as well.
This is the first time in a long time I can become a tech lover and not a follower of just Apple products. Should be a very enlightening conversation from Apple fans.

Robertson Winery Sauvignon Blanc
Friday Jun 02, 2017
Friday Jun 02, 2017
This second installment of Urban Wine Life from the Robertson Winery. I try a $6.99 Robertson Winery Sauvignon Blanc. This is a South African wine that normally shows up pretty well (reference the Chenin Blancs and Chardonnays) During this episode, I try this South African Sauvignon Blanc and sadly compare it to the best regions for this grape such as Oregon State and New Zealand. Here are the notes.
Full bodied with powerful varietal flavours of bell-pepper, green apple and freshly cut grass. Good structure with lovely balancing acidity. Enjoy now with seafood, smoked salmon, roast chicken and pork

Saturday May 27, 2017
Saturday May 27, 2017
Today I open up my lovely bottle of Auslese for a dish with Seasoned chicken breast, Brussels sprouts, cranberries and a side of mashed sweet potatoes. Being a lover of Riesling, this food pairing was perfect for this dish I had for dinner with a slightly sweet wine that would compliment this meal very well. I was not disappointed. With this podcast, I speak to a little history of one of the most noblest and respected grapes on earth.
Tasting Notes
Sweet, Citrus, Peach, Medium-bodied Piesport, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany produced from very ripe grapes grown in the prestigious Mosel region, this wine possesses a wonderful bouquet of fruits and well-defined, vibrant flavors. It has a finish which goes on and on. Enjoy with fish, fruits, or cheese
