When the calendar starts running out of pages and all the TV commercials are selling you perfume, you know that it is time to plan a get together with friends and family to toast the holiday season. Here are some of our favorite wines to help make the party.
November 7th is International Merlot Day! How will you celebrate? Here is what we’re thinking about on this auspicious moment.
Texas is known for a lot of things, including longhorns, oil, and things that are just a bit bigger than anywhere else. During a recent visit to Fredericksburg we learned about their burgeoning wine industry when we visited Heath Sparkling Wines.
The high plains of Elgin, Arizona are beautiful, with amazing vistas in every direction and a night sky so full of stars that it looks like a painting. We had heard good things about wineries in Elgin so we decided to check it out Salvatore Vineyards for ourselves.
It was a blustery day in Sonoita, Arizona, with a wind that rattled windows and frightened cats. A perfect day to do some wine tasting at Callaghan Vineyards.
It was the first week of 2024 and we wanted to celebrate the new year and explore more of our new home San Diego. Of course, that meant wine tasting too! Off we went to enjoy a tasting at Carruth Cellars.
As new San Diego residents, we have a lot to learn. Top of our list is learning about the many and varied neighborhoods, and of course, the wineries and tasting rooms located therein. Recently we decided to visit Ocean Beach, quickly learning that we should call it “OB” and that we should visit Gianni Buonomo Vintners.
What is the first thing we did after moving to San Diego? We checked out the local winery scene, of course! Our first stop was Bernardo Winery in beautiful Ranch Bernardo.
We love visiting wineries whenever we have an unscheduled weekend! There are a few winery events, however, that cause us to rearrange our schedule to attend. When we learned that Las Positas Vineyards was presenting their 6th Annual Bacon and Barbera Pairing weekend, we cleared our calendar to attend. This is an event not to be missed!
With Halloween just around the corner, we decided to give ourselves an early, slightly spooky treat: a tasting at Wood Family Vineyards.
We love winery parties, and there is one winery’s party that can make us change our calendar: Ruby Hill Winery. When they announce a member appreciation party, we clear our calendar!
