Sometimes I get on the floor and just sit there and the cats will come up to me instead of trying to chase them down. Treats help too.

Wine
New to wine?
Want to know more about wine? Are you throwing a party and need a little help choosing your wines? Do you need assistance with your wine menu at your restaurant? I can help.
I started in Boston at wine shop that categorized the wine by flavor instead of region or grape. All the wines were under $10 too. Expensive doesn't always mean better.
Wine made easy and fun.
I have over 25 years in the wine industry. I poured wine and gave tours at Francis Ford Coppola Winery in California and other Sonoma wineries. I lived in Sonoma for 12 years and went to many tasting rooms. I know the geography and the different soil types of the region too.
So much goes into wine and I make it easy to understand.

About Christopher W. Kruse
"So Many Roads"
Originally from Oshkosh and I have gone to film school in Orlando, Milwaukee and finished up in Rockport, Maine. The Maine Media Workshops are great place to learn. I highly recommend it. My cinematography teacher shot "Young Frankenstein". I enjoy just getting out and taking pictures. Playing around with the levels see what happens. I'm so happy digital came around yet I respect the old school way. I actually cut and taped my 16mm films. Now I can edit a short video on my phone. "What a wonderful time." Let's get that picture taken. Along with photography I have over 25 years wine experience. I lived out in Sonoma County for 12 years and have been to many wineries and classes.
Trash Warriors
Picking up trash
For the Good of Everything
For the Good of Everything
While on a walk one day my friend and I saw so much trash around the community paths and by ways. So we decided we do something. You can too.

For the Good of Everything
We went out to popular areas and started gathering bottles and cans in one bin and trash in the other. Helping out when we could.
