“Wine is meant to be with food – that is the point of it.” -Julia Child I remember my first experience pairing food and wine together while on a tasting room tour of Wine Country. Before this, I had simply gone wine tasting with a few friends and stopped at a restaurant in between. We […]
Lucky Wine Kids Rock Cline Cellars Field Trip
Growing up in Wine Country is such a extraordinary experience for a child. Recently I had the pleasure of accompanying 30 exuberant (to say the least) 4th graders on a field trip to Cline Cellars and their California Mission Museum. The evening prior to the Mission field trip, I had glanced at the form to see […]
Amapola Creek Winery Makes A Fierce Cabernet
This year for the Annual Sonoma Reserve Wine Event, I decided to enjoy the small batch tour of wineries which were all off of the beaten path. Right decision. Most of the spots we visited on this day were located on steep terrain with wonderful views and also a difficult climb for the vehicles. The […]

Epic Stop Rose’ Shots & Pinot at Red Car Wine
Rose shots are a fabulous thing says Erin with a smile. What a terrific idea and one that I have not seen or heard of yet. And let’s just say I have visited a tasting room or two. When I am presented with a new experience at a small tasting room, I can really appreciate […]
Winery Celebrating 25 Years of Family Ownership

Opening a vintage bottle at a dinner party celebrating 25 years of family ownership at Rodney Strong Vineyards, just seemed appropriate for Wine Country. A 1977 Alexander’s Crown Estate Bottled Sonoma Vineyards Cabernet Sauvginon, it […]
Fierce Napa Grapes Live On Mountain Tops
One day while waiting in the car for the kids to finish school, I noticed a lovely photo on my Instagram feed of rolling mountain vineyards with a light dusting of snow. Later that same day, more grapes with snow covered grounds. Checking out the caption, I was shocked to see that these vines were […]
Napa Pine Ridge Winery Celebrates 35 Years
Whenever I visit Napa, I know I can count on one of my mainstay girlfriends to recommend great spots to stop, sip & enjoy. Jacqueline is a beautiful women both inside and out… and the girl also knows her wine…making her even more attractive. “If you have to ask if it’s to early to drink […]
Best Restaurant In America Says Open Table
St Francis Winery & Vineyards has been a favorite stop of mine for some time. Not only do they pour a fierce glass of wine, but the landscaping, tasting room, staff & atmosphere are lovely. I had visited them in the Fall recently when the leaves are yellow and the backdrop of the mountains beyond […]
Elevated Cabernet on Mountains in Laurel Glen
Today I embarked on a return journey to Laurel Glen Vineyards. I had heard tell of a 94 point and a 92 pts score from Robert Parker quite recently. Time to finish a vertical tasting I started 5 months ago. I’m not actually a procrastinator, folks. I simply had to wait for them to release […]
