Recharging yourself is so important and I touch on taking a day for yourself in order to get your energy back to 100% because, remember, when you are 100% you are able to give others 100%.  Today’s wine is a Primitivo from California and I get into the difference between a Zinfandel & Primitivo. Yes, they are the same grape and essentially the “same thing” but there is a difference depending on the country or area it’s cultivated in. I usually tend to like Primitivo’s from Italy but I haven't had many from California to really compare the two.  That’s why today’s episode is so exciting!
