While bread provides a neutral flavor to clear the palate between selections from your wine rack, there are some wines which go especially well with particular breads. The list of bread types is long, from sweet to savory; yeasty to caky; even muffins and donuts. I’m thinking particularly about hot cross buns, those sweet eggy buns [...]

My best friend gets married tomorrow and all has been busy and bright. Finally this afternoon we found a few hours of uninterrupted girl time. What to do what to do. Well, we decided to take the bottle of California chardonnay off the wine rack and celebrate her final moments of freedom. And we were [...]

On my first full day in California, I spent a little time exploring my friend’s wine rack looking for something good to drink. She’s a big fan of white wine so the chances of a red, any red were slim to none. And alas there was no Cabernet Sauvignon to be had but we did [...]

White Zinfadel has, in the past, offered me a kind of reliable standby when choosing wine for a gathering or gift. Not too sweet, yet not so dry as to put hair on one’s chest. A beautiful blush color in varying shades: pretty to look at in the glass. While White Zinfadel may not be [...]
Try putting ‘Pixar Animation Studio’ and ‘wine cellar’ in the same sentence. If that sounds oxymoronic, the parent in you is vetting. I couldn’t credit it either. There’s no natural extension from, say, ‘UP!’, to taking a break for a glass of wine.
The films, however, reflect imagination and inspiration which flow from a love of [...]
California, so well known for its wines, can also boast enough sunshine to make installation of any solar energy collection device worthwhile. In the case of J. Lohr Winery, they have made use of the sun with a solar tracking device. Why not use the sun’s energy, since it has a lot to give and [...]

I always like to see the word “France” on my wine rack as I enjoy the country’s wine very much. I began looking into the Bordeaux region (that lies between the Atlantic and St Julian river estuary) and found there was a long history to the region.
The vineyards in Bordeaux, France were planted during the [...]
Drinking French wine is one idea of luxury. Going to France to drink their wine sounds even better. More luxurious still is the notion of going to France and staying in a hotel situated in the midst of a vineyard: a wine reviewer could easily fall asleep in the midst of her work.
As a [...]

Never before have I considered what wine to drink with Easter Dinner. Usually, we just have water, or some special fizzy drink for the children. Being Anglophiles we follow-up most meals with a pot of tea, my preference being mint after one of our big roast dinners. Thankfully, these are only enjoyed three or four [...]

There was a bottle lined-up with the other Californian offerings at the store, and I thought I had heard of it somewhere before. Chablis. The name resonated way back to my pre-wine consciousness. Why was that name so familiar? I don’t recall every tasting any. Then I read-up on the wine I was planning to [...]
