Dashe Cellars Celebrates Fleet Week
What could be better than a stunning view of San Francisco on an autumn afternoon while watching the Blue Angels perform? That is why we made a date to take in the wine and spectacle at Dashe Cellars.

Celebrating a Return to Wine Tasting at Dashe Cellars
After a very difficult “shelter in place” for over a year, we were finally all protected by vaccines and experts in double masking. We now felt safe re-entering the world and restarting our lives. Of course, that meant one thing: wine tasting! So we all met at Dashe Cellars to celebrate health, family, and good times.
Visiting Dashe Cellars in Alameda
Alameda is becoming a wonderful place for winetasting! Monarch Street can be host to an entire day of tasting. On this fine summer day, we visited Dashe Cellars in their new location.
Urban Legend Comes To Alameda
Visiting an established (winery) friend in their new place, what could be better? We could not wait to visit Urban Legend in their new Alameda tasting room!
Rock Wall on a Sunny Sunday
So it was a clear, sunny Sunday in the Bay Area and we had finished all of our weekend tasks. How could we top off a great July day? With a trip to Rock Wall Wine Company!
Pinot’s Palette Alameda Turns One
We’ve all seen the adorable social media pics of couples at wine and paint nights, holding up their masterpieces and making cringe-worthy puns in the caption. Pinot’s Palette Alameda reached out to the Bliss and invited us to their one-year anniversary soiree—the perfect opportunity to surprise my boyfriend with a cliché date.
Building 43 Winery
Visiting a new winery is a thrill that never gets old! We were very excited to see that a winery had opened across the street from the Rock Wall Wines tasting room in Alameda. With great anticipation, we had our first tasting experience at the Building 43 Winery.
Rock Wall Celebrates Memorial Day
Memorial Day weekend is full of promise and excitement. Add to that excitement the extra thrill of a wine club pickup, and you have the recipe for a great weekend. Properly enthused, we set off for the Rock Wall Wine Company to kick off summer.
Pinot’s Palette Meets R&B Cellars
Most people love spending an evening enjoying art, or wine, or live music. Combining any two of these activities and you have scored major good-spouse points. Put all three together? That was exactly what happened when we recently visited Pinot’s Palette in Alameda.
Rock Wall Wine Company Club Pickup
The Rock Wall Wine Company pairs great wine with amazing views of San Francisco. This is amazing on a sunny afternoon, but can this pairing work on a rainy day? It was time to pick up December’s wine club pack and El Niño was in full force, so this question was about to be answered.

Charles R Vineyards in Livermore NEW!! FRIDAY HIKE & TASTING WITH LISA Friday, January 28, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The top of the hill is, hands down, my favorite spot at Charles R. You may have never known it was there, but once you see it, you’ll experience the whole of Livermore Valley from a totally different perspective. The view from the top never disappoints - no matter the weather, the temperature, the steepness or the wind factor, - this special place is simply beautiful. Dick and Bonnie have been generous enough to share this little-known part of the property with us, and are excited to share the space with those willing to make the trek. Join me each 4th Friday for a morning hike up the hill. We will share a taste of wine at the top to quench our thirst, then finish up with a full flight once we’re back in the tasting room. I hope to see you there! Lisa Lee, Winemaker |
