Only $4.99 for a soup starter, with some roasted chicken and Hickory Farms Ham Summer Sausage added in, this was a good soup. The freeze-dried veggies plumped up, the rice cooked and it was plenty spicy and flavorful on its own. But it wasn’t what I’d call Jambalaya by a long stretch – it was…
There’s a new local flavor in town. You don’t have to leave your home to try it. Comes in many varieties and styles. And it involves wine, of course. Lisa Madison is a beautiful blond. I wished she wasn’t. When I met her at Lee’s Wine Bistro last week to discuss her wine knowledge, interests…

Last week a much-needed rain storm pummeled Santa Clarita, but the day of the much-anticipated Opolo Wine Pairing Dinner at Salt Creek Valencia, it was a beautiful day. And the patio at Salt Creek screams out for events! Perfect for a group of, I don’t know, maybe 60, to mingle, hear a speaker, have their…
I am sure that it has crossed your mind on many occasion why wine smells and taste certain ways. What I also find interesting is that wine smells and tastes like virtually every fruit except grapes. With this in mind, how do vintners develop aromas of vanilla or flavors of cherry? The answer is quite…
