It’s officially summer – hooray!
Sunshine and heat are returning to the area, the days are long, it’s a great time of year.
This week’s wine selection pairs perfectly with late nights on the patio or by the campfire looking up at the stars. It’s a locally made dessert wine that is pure pleasure. […]
We’re in that delicious in-between period, where it can feel like summer one minute and early spring the next.
It’s the perfect time for a wine that’s not too light and not too heavy.

Was that a gorgeous moon on Monday night or what?
