Artie the Penguin

So yesterday, this really sweet couple - Richard & Georgann - came in to wine taste. We're chatting, I'm pouring wine, and then eventually I noticed the penguin on the counter. "What's up with the penguin, guys?"

"That's Artie," says Georgann. "He's been with us about ten and a half years, and goes everywhere with us." OK. That perked my interest.

Artie is the adorable stuffed penguin that travels everywhere - I mean EVERYWHERE - with Richard and Georgann. He has his own Facebook Page (Artie Penguin) his own Twitter Page (@artiepenguin) and a g-mail account that I don't feel comfortable giving out as I don't want to compromise Artie's personal space.

I saw pictures of Artie on Facebook at the Eiffel Tower, at Rockerfeller Center, and Artie eating and drinking lots of great wine & food all over the world!

Of course I had to get my own photo of me pouring wine for my new favorite penguin. Not the best photo of me but well worth it!! :)

Thanks Richard & Georgann! And thanks for Tweeting about me :)
