Chateau St. Croix & The Cheesehead White Wine
In honor of the New Year we thought it only fitting to talk about one of Wisconsin’s lesser known attractions, its wineries. Just like the breweries all over the state, micro-wineries have become quite popular and prosperous for embracing the cheesehead culture as part of what they are all about. We had the pleasure of … Continue reading
Don’t Mess With Firefly, Especially At U.W. Stout
This is a particularly interesting video about what happens when political correctness gets in the way of free speach. It’s involves Professor James Miller at U.W. Stout and his love of the Joss Wheadon classic TV show “Firefly”, and features an interview with author (and brilliant thinker) Neil Gaiman, as well as ample footage shot … Continue reading
Janesville On A Rainy Day…
On a follow up visit to Janesville after the Lombardi Dedication night event we encountered a bit of September rain and it made for a beautiful day. Janesville is such a sleepy town despite it size, with pleasant neighborhoods, and a gorgeous riverfront. The pictures tell the story much better than we can so we’ll … Continue reading
The Bodega Brew Pub In La Crosse
While taking a day trip to La Crosse to check out what was there, we happened upon the Bodega Brew Pub in Historic Downtown. It’s easy to fall in love with La Crosse the minute you drive through it for its rustic “Industrial Wisconsin” flavor, the edge of the water vibe, and a downtown area … Continue reading

In The Midst Of Tranquility – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin (Studio)
In the third and final posting about our visit to Taliesin, this is were much of the brilliance revealed itself as substative, Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural studio.

In The Midst Of Tranquility – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin (Interiors)
As a follow up to yesterday’s Taliesin posting that included exterior shots, today we are revealing some terrific shots of the interior rooms of the Taliesin estate.
