This coming Wednesday, October 29th, the Vineyard on the Square in Sugarland, Texas, is welcoming me as a special guest to their wine bar! It is a beautiful place to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind.

Everyone is welcome for a wine tasting and I’ll also be talking about the ultimate gift you can give to your loved ones this holidays season, a custom biography. Each year I work with a select number of special clients to capture their best life stories and transform them into a biography. Come see how I am changing the way we remember our loved ones.

In addition, Petaluma, California-based Adobe Road will be offering a wine tasting of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Adobe Road is a small, family-owned winery, specializing in flavorful, handcrafted vintages with distinctive taste. The wines are created in small lots, allowing precise quality control to ensure that every bottle is just the way the wine artisans intended. Adobe Road varietals also include Zinfandel, Syrah, Petit Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Meritage.

As promised, here is the link to watch my appearance on yesterday’s San Antonio Living Show. It was a great opportunity to meet with Shelly Miles and tell some local families about how they can start saving stories today. If you missed the show, be sure to go watch it at this link.

Also, here’s a little of what I discussed on the show. Tips from Family Biographer, Rory Siefer, on how your family can celebrate Family History Month:

• Save the Stories: Record your family’s stories orally or in written form. Sit down and interview your parent or grandparent – and get the kids involved. Or as an extra special gift to a loved one, hire a family biographer to come in and capture the stories for them!
• Trace Your Family Roots: Start a family tree together and call your parents and grandparents to uncover the exact dates. Who knows how far back you can go!
• Preserve the Photos: Create a photo book with some of your best old family pictures. Record the details about each snapshot so that those stories are never lost.
• Create a Family blog: Keep your family and friends up to date on what your family is up to on a regular basis. his can be an easy weekly activity and then by the end of the year you have a great collection of memories.
• Make Sentimental Gifts: Integrate family mementos and history into a one of a kind gift for your loved one. Frame a family artifact, or create greeting cards from your favorite old photos.
