ANGELIC TREAT FOR EYES AND EARS
There's a very good reason to include pictures of this beautiful young woman on my webpage, because it's natural to compare her to great Bordeaux wine(s). She's got the look, beauty, finesse, charisma, grace and style. We often associate some of these things with wine.
David Foster, a well-known componist and 14 times Grammy winner, who has written songs for among others Andrea Bocelli and Whitney Houston, has described her as Miss Universe with talent. He's currently working with her on new album to be released in the end of 2008/beginning of 2009.
No, she's not a chateau-owner from Bordeaux, not even a daughter of a chateau-owner from Bordeaux! This is California woman and a stunningly beautiful one. Her name is Katharine McPhee, a 23 years old runner-up at American Idol 5, an incredible singing talent and coming Brodway star. Check out her songs at youtube.com
I'm sure she likes Bordeaux wines!
