Beware of your mom when she seems to want to engage in your pursuits, understand your passion, unwittingly destroy all that you’ve built….oops…I digress. Let me begin again. A few years back, before I was fully ensconced in all things wine (no blogging as there wasn’t even a www yet) my husband Eddie and I…
This event will pair Agua Dulce’s stellar wines with the cuisine of ADV’s own internationally trained, and reknowned Cordon Bleau chef, Dusti Patterson: Beef Tenderloin skewers with cherries mascerated in port wine.

Eve, Last minute “emergency” bottling. If you guys are around the So. Bay PLEASE come by and at least sample some beer. Dinner always follows.

(I can’t get to Sonoma right now. Busy busy busy. But I’m liking the idea of just getting to Woodland Hills for atasting. One of the largest, if not the largest, wine store in theWest San Fernando Valley, WHW does a fun tasting. Been there. Want todo this.) A group of Sonoma County’s finest wineries,…
In the film, A Fish Called Wanda, Kevin Kline lets out very long “Disappointeddddddddddddd” when the safe he’s just cracked is empty. But, if he had our view, he would’ve seen how much more so was Jamie Lee Curtis as she held a blunt object over Kline’s head that was sure to do damage. Curtis…
Grape of the Night is a monthly get-together of wine 101ers and experts that share a passion in learning more about wine via tasting and discussion. We usually choose one varietal for each month.
