Vintage 2/09 Beacon: Favorite Wine Experiences…and none are mine!

evebushman10 years ago9 years ago07 mins

This week I queried some wine experts on their favorite wine, and what they were doing when they first had it. Their answers made me more than a wee bit thirsty. Years ago, on what used to be a favorite spring outing – to the Amador Vintners Festival – we were referred to the Fiddletown…

One of our most popular stories for 2013 was our list of corkage fees for Santa Clarita Valley restaurants. I didn’t want to do the article as it takes a lot of work contacting restaurateurs and confirming prices, but I must meet your demands! Anyway, I find it interesting as most restaurants don’t list corkage…

Thoughts on the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt Miraval Rosé

evebushman10 years ago11 months ago04 mins

I’m an Aniston fan ever since the days of the uber-popular TV show “Friends” so I felt sorry for Jennifer when her marriage to Brad Pitt broke up so publicly. But the buck stopped there, so to speak, or so I thought until Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to make wine together. I admit it:…

evebushman10 years ago10 months ago04 mins

This recipe looked easy. When I got home with the ingredients and started to prep things I noticed words like “make ahead” “chill” and “food processor.” I’m Cuisinart challenged. Far too many attachments for me to master, yet, so I called in the Chief to set me up. It actually was a lot faster as…

Getting ready hours ahead for a single malt Scotch tasting, I was pleased with how nice our dining room looked. The table glittered with blond and golden hues as the bottles were set out and anxious to be enjoyed. Spring water was at each place setting for the “aroma dilute”. My husband Eddie had made…
