Daou Cabernet

In a wine education class recently, I was able to try two amazing Cabernet Sauvignons from Paso Robles in California. Both are made by wineries that staked their claims to what was possible in Paso way before it became as popular as it is today. They are […]

J. Lohr Los Osos Merlot

Hello, October! For this first weekend of the month, I’m thinking a red wine that’s super-smooth, with big fruit notes and a plump nose, lots to keep me coming back, but not too much to challenge me. I’m thinking a nice Merlot. I’m going for the J Lohr […]

Get lost, then get to work

Back in February, I decided it was time to rekindle the art spark for myself. I was a studio art major in college (way back when!), and while I’ve retained an active interest in art, I have not consistently practiced making art. Regular efforts over the years left me feeling frustrated and definitely “not good […]

I liked all the wines, from a Cayuga PetNat to variations on Riesling to […]

Cote Mas Cremant De Limoux Brut

I’m a sucker for sparkling wine. It’s celebratory no matter what’s going on. It’s food-friendly no matter what you’re eating. As Dom Perignon said all those years ago, “I am drinking the stars.” Having just returned from a very special wedding, I’m keeping the vibe going this weekend with this beautiful wine: the rose […]

TurnPark Art Space

Above: A sculpture of Don Quixote by Nikolai Silis was one of the first pieces installed at the quarry-turned-art park, and remains on permanent exhibition.

September and October are months made for getting outside. The hottest days are (almost) behind us, and the shorter, cooler days are still on the horizon. The air is […]

Angeline Reserve Pinot Noir

While I enjoy making recommendations of wine (obviously!!), I also really enjoy getting recommendations. This one was shared with me recently, and it’s a winner, so I’m passing it along. It’s the Angeline Reserve Pinot Noir. Pinot is a great wine for warm days and cool nights, as […]
