With the hot weather we’re currently enduring, a particular wine and event came to mind. I happened to be attending a local theater production with a friend. We’d made a reservation for dinner before the play. It was super hot, and the only place they could set us was on the patio. When we inquired […]
We’d finally scheduled dinner with our friends. We planned a leisurely lunch at Taste a very nice restaurant in Plymouth California. When we were making our selection, I chose a bottle from a local vintner; Bella Grace Vineyards Grenache Blanc. Part of the appeal for choosing this wine was I had just visited their tasting room […]
We very much enjoyed this wine and would definitely seek it out again. I can see how it would pair well with my Easy Dry Rub Ribs. In fact, I may just have to make my ribs and have some friends over for a gathering and to share this Franciscan Equilibrium White Blend at the event…
Red or white, it’s always a conundrum when there are so many good wines around. It was Father’s Day, and we were in Napa Valley just south of St. Helena having lunch at Mustards Grill.

La Crema is one of my favorite vineyards and wines. La Crema is a family owned winery, establish in 1979, producing wine for over 30 years in the Sonoma and Mendocino wine regions.

It never fails to surprise me how you can find some great wines at such inexpensive prices. This Chardonnay from Sebastiani Winery is one of them.
In 1895, Samuele Sebastiani, a winemaker, emigrated from the Tuscany. Samuele’s first trade was not as a winemaker but a stonemason.
It has been a hectic time of late for me as I’m sure it has been for others as well. So it was a happy surprise when I received this Robert Mondavi Winery trio of wines. The package included a bottle of their Pinot Noir, Fumé Blanc, and a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon. What more would you ever need for a celebration for the upcoming holidays?
With the holidays fast approaching and the need for an abundance of libations one starts to consider what to buy and how much to pay for wines that our guest would enjoy. With that in mind I decided to try Venetian Moon Pinot Grigio, an inexpensive light white table wine from Trader Moon Wine Company…
Every now and then it’s nice to have a little something sweet after dinner. A light dessert wine will sometimes be a nice change from the typical or tradition desserts we often go after. Enter G Chevalier Sauternes by Chateau Guiraud…
