Who wants a no sugar, caffeine-free soda that still tastes great? Only in your dreams, right? Wrong! There’s this hot little natural soda floatin’ around called Zevia. It’s sweetened with the Stevia Extract and not real sugar. WTF is stevia?

I like the simple things in life.  You know, rain drops on roses, whiskers on kittens and cheap organic red wine.  This is where Santa Julia wine comes into play.

The ingredients in this can of goodness are: Filtered Carbonated H2O, Real Sugar, Natural Black Cherry Flavor and Citric Acid.  And the taste is really really good.  The cherry flavor isn’t too strong tart or sweet.  And … Read the rest
