TastingRoom.com recently sent us a package of their 50ml tasting bottles called “Everyday Roses”. I think these “tasting kits” are a perfect thing for both the consumer and the wineries. The consumer benefits by being able to taste different wines and then picking the … [Read more...]
Adventure 22: Elephant Seals, Wine, Beer, and Food!
A week or so back we decided to go coastal, which is much better than going postal…just sayin’! We decided to adventure over to Cambria and check out the elephant seals. We hadn’t seen them in a year or two and to be honest, we weren’t necessarily missing them, we just get a … [Read more...]
Small Town 4th of July Celebration, 2012
There’s something very “Americana” and patriotic about 4th of July in a small town. I can’t really pinpoint why that is, maybe you have some thoughts you can share about that, but I think there is this non-commercial innocence or purity about it. I also love our local community … [Read more...]
Adventure #21 – Something Funny Happened on the Way Home From The Chardonnay Symposium
I dislike long titles but this is an adventure, and against my better judgment I left it…so there. There was actually nothing funny that happened at all on the way home from the Chardonnay Symposium we went to recently. Regardless of this we needed an adventure and … [Read more...]

Adventure #20 – A Breath of Fresh Air For Us
This past weekend we finally had the opportunity to go back to Barney Schwartz Park in Paso Robles to follow through on an adventure we tried to do there a while back. The last time it was slightly cold but the wind was howling which made it too cold and far too blustery for our … [Read more...]
Chardonnay Symposium 2012 Rocked
You know what I love? Wine. And you know what else I love? Focusing in on one grape (like Chardonnay, for example) and attempting to learn about it and enjoy all of its nuances. We had that opportunity this past weekend at the Chardonnay Symposium thanks to Chris Slaughter, who … [Read more...]
July 4th: What Does it Really Mean to YOU?
I understand fully that July 4th is a holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776…having been born in 1976 (bicentennial baby) and having the middle name of Liberty, I can’t get too far without knowing some of the magical stuff about this … [Read more...]
Sangria and Other Summer Juice
One of our friends (Kristie) on our Hoot 'n Annie Facebook page had asked us for good Sangria recipes and I was stumped because I have never made it…but I knew Annie had so she gave Kristie a recipe that she had used before. We asked our friends on the HnA page for more recipes … [Read more...]
