Sipping through life with a glass half full. Tasting Away on a Foggy Day. June 14, 2013. The Napa Valley faced some unusual June weather this past week, which fell on the same day as my tour and tasting appointment at Quintessa.

It bursts with tropical characteristics of pineapple and tangerine. On the...We ne...

Monticello Vineyards lined up a position for me working in Hospitality and Communications. In other words, I get to wear many hats each day in addition to taking on the social ...

Sipping through life with a glass half full. Larr; Tasting Away on a Foggy Day. Wines for the Traveling, Wino, Foodie Spirit. May 22, 2013. Recently, I attended a private Salon tasting at Swanson Vineyards. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing food and wine experience. Keep in mind that it is by-appointment-only…so plan ahead! Reflections from the Tasting:. 2009 Merlot-Swanson’s flagship wine. 75% Merlot/20% Cabernet Sauvignon/5% Petit Verdot). 82% Cabernet Sauvignon/11% Merlot/7% Petit Verdot).

Getting Older’s Not So Bad After All! | Starving Wino
https://starvingwino.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/getting-olders-not-so-bad-after-all
Sipping through life with a glass half full. Larr; Chasing the Dream. Atlanta Wine Bar Offers Something for Everyone. Getting Older’s Not So Bad After All! March 31, 2013. Although I have tasted my fair share of older European wines, aged California wines have been something foreign to me. I looked forward to comparing the difference and, at the same time, somewhat nervous that the wine might be past its prime. There was only one way to find out so I planned the occasion! The wine poured into the glass w...
