From fellow wine writer (same team, different league?) Nat MacLean: Plan Your Ultimate July 4 Barbecue with a New Wine Mobile App

Hi Eve, It was both fun and painful developing this newfangled, label-scanning mobile app … the fun part is being done. The feedback though from wine lovers so far is good. I hope you can use this in a story or news byte. Look forward to hearing from you when you have a moment. Cheers,…

Last night I attended the “debut” of Pulchella Winery’s first wine pairing dinner. Held at Salt Creek Grille Valencia – now serving up popular wine dinners monthly it would seem – the restaurant had to add more seating to meet demand.

Michael Perlis: Epoch

Michael Perlis14 years ago11 months ago13 mins mins

Epoch Estate Wines How does a winery achieve immediate cult status? I first heard about Epoch perhaps a couple of years ago, maybe a little less. Lots of buzz on the erobertparker. com message boards and elsewhere. I signed up for the mailing list and was offered a small allocation. They sold out, I think,…

The last time I co-chaired a big wine event, Pour Into Haiti with Roman Weiser and David Schutz, I counted on these two very capable men to harness the winery help while I could focus on being the social networking butterfly. With the Circle of Hope (COH) taking over the Betty Ferguson Foundation’s Vine 2…
