This might surprise you, but every now and then, I like to take a week off from drinking wine (or alcohol of any sort for that matter)--and this is one such week.
Sure, I've got a lot of wines in my tasting queue, but they can wait until the weekend.
For now, I'm going to enjoy a week filled with lots of water, which will refresh my body, mind and also palate.
But don't worry, I've got plenty of tasting notes I haven't published yet and a few more interesting things planned.
I like lime wedge or even a cucumber slice in my water...do you have any favorite ways to 'brighten' a plain glass of water?
I used to keep one of those big iced tea jugs in the fridge filled with water and fresh mint leaves. It's incredibly refreshing on scorching days like this. :)

I like to pour a little rye whiskey in my water. Add a few ice cubes and you're off to the races. This recipe is equally good using bourbon or scotch, by the way.

Lemon and Mint. My favorite. Jennifer's right: keep a jug in the fridge. Also, on a long plane flight recently I was reminded by a flight attendant that one of the best ways to start the day is just hot water with a lemon wedge floating in it. Hot, soothing, refreshing.
