Another Way You’re Being Judged – Weekly Reading – June 30th, 2017

You know people look at the car you drive, and the watch you wear … but, what does the wine you drink say about you?

There is often a little truth in humor.

Here is a wine list I saw while in Bali, Indonesia last week.

Here is a peek at what I’ve been reading lately. These are the links I saved this week.

Hope you find some interesting and enjoyable tidbits.

Let me know if you read something I’d like … Or if there are other sources I should add to my weekly reading.

Thanks.
