Dear Log Haven Family,
Every season in Millcreek Canyon is a special one in its own right. Today, I enjoy fresh green shoots and the first warm evenings by the pond but surprise snow squalls and the need for warm fires are still on my radar. Whatever the season, I continue to be astonished that Log Haven is just five minutes from the hustle and bustle of I-215 and millions of people…this wilderness is a joyous balm of which I never tire.

Wine Program
by Ian Campbell
German Riesling
It may come as a surprise to some that German Riesling is considered by many wine professionals to be one of, if not the, world’s greatest white wines. It certainly is misunderstood by many of us in the United States. Contrary to popular belief, German Riesling is not sweet, cheap plonk. It can be sweet, but when it is, it is gloriously sweet, and usually very expensive. But German Riesling can also be light-bodied, with bracing acidity, and can pair wonderfully with food.

What’s Your Diamond?
by Faith Sweeten
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental but diamonds are a girl's best friend - Marilyn Monroe singing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” in the movie, Gentleman Prefer Blondes.
Wedding rings and their bearers date back to ancient times. The habit of wearing the wedding symbol on the fourth finger of the left hand is based upon a Grecian fable that the artery from that finger flows directly to the heart. On the other hand, a traditional reason to wear the wedding ring on the right hand stems from a Roman custom. The Latin word for left is "sinistra," a word that evolved into the English "sinister." The Latin word for right is "dexter," a word that evolved into "dexterity.” Hence, the left hand had a negative connotation and the right a positive one.
