My wife and I had the opportunity to head down to Tolosa Winery this past Sunday to partake in these new tours they are doing, and I must say…I was pleasantly surprised. You see, we’ve done a ton of wine-type tours and they’ve all been really cool, but often times they lag or … [Read more...]
What Have You Been Drinking?
I’m curious because I’m about to share a few of the things I’ve had to drink recently and it’s always nice to hear what everyone else is drinking…especially if it’s a “DO NOT MISS” adult beverage. So check out the slideshow and then let me know the best thing you’ve sipped on in … [Read more...]

Recent Sips and Slurpings
Not sure I like the word “slurpings”…our friend Kendall that works at Edward Sellers Winery calls late afternoon wine “shmackins”; which I think sounds better. So kudos to Kendall! Anyway, this isn’t about Kendall (sorry KC), it’s about recent things I have been sipping on since … [Read more...]

Tolosa Winery, San Luis Obispo, Edna Valley
We haven’t been to Tolosa Winery since we had a party there for Annie when she got her Master’s Degree, about 4+ years ago…so, it was time to go back! This really is a great spot across from the airport in San Luis Obispo, the tasting room is well done (as you’ll see in the … [Read more...]
Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine…Why???
We went on the hunt for something a little different; something new and refreshing, that could be enjoyed by anybody at any time! What might this be, you ask (yeah, the title was a give-away)??? Exactly! Non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Now, before you start wondering what we're up … [Read more...]
