There was more than one Goddess braving the SCV cold in nothing but a toga and a ceremonial grapevine headdress on one recent Friday night. Me, as the temporary Goddess for Circle of Hope’s Vine 2 Wine event in June, and the Goddess of Wine, a fellow-wine blogger, wine educator, WSET Level Two Certified, lucky-for-me-she-lives-in-Burbank-and-can’t-take-my-peeps-home-with-her,…
My favorite wine bar in Paris, Willi’s Wine Bar, is having an “Anniversary Celebration Offer” on their posters – of which I now personally own four: The Willi’s Bottle Art Collection now spans three decades during which time Willi’s has commissioned many contemporary artists to create a new image for our ongoing series – a visual emotion…
This week readers get a peak into the wine world of Tanya Green, owner of Wine 661. Tanya recently celebrated her 2nd year with a candlelight party, does beer and wine tastings, live music but I thought it high time we focus on a local lady living the life of a wine bar owner. …
For the past seven years that I’ve been writing about wine I would annually run an “All Events” column simply because not everyone, for some strange reason, gets our weekly Dear Wine Friend e-newsletter (email me to sign up: Eve@EveWine101.com) that lists events.

Do you have a favorite place for sipping vino in Santa Clarita? So do I. Of course this is going to be subjective. Your task is to look over my list and then use the comment section if you’d like to add to it. It’s not like I’m such a lush that I’ve been to…
“As a ‘cub reporter’ representing Eve’s Wine 101 my husband Jon and I attended a Duckhorn tasting held by Tanya Green at her wine bar, Wine 661. We arrived early, so there weren’t too many tasters yet – which was perfect, as we received personalized service from Tanya (who, by the way, always serves impeccably)….
The SCV Wine Class held last Saturday night, has set the standard for local wine tasting events for over 20 years, expertly welcoming both new release and vintage wines as they do new wine drinkers and vintage experts. In helping to raise needed funds for the Student Orchestras at College of the Canyons the…
To keep myself busy while caring for my injured-yet-again spouse, satisfied more by angry single malt Scotch than the doctor prescribed Vicodin, I called Tanya Green, the new owner of Wine 661 to find out what new things they are offering the SCV wine drinking public, myself copiously included. Okay Tanya, I have been to…
This week, Eve Wine 101 readers get…my script! A few weeks ago I was asked if I was open to being on a show about wine. Duh, YES! It happened like this: Dear Eve, My name is Tim Skogstrom, I own Cornell Winery and the Old Place Restaurant over in Agoura. I have spoken with…
How is it that a simple medium such as wine draws people together? Tracy and I celebrated our 36th anniversary on Oct 25. We have been so busy both with our jobs and projects at home, we did not make any plans to celebrate. After 36 years, that is a crime. The weekend before our…
