Yes I know, I started Bacon Fridays, and then promptly dropped it when my time was not my own. I am BACK! BACON is back! One night this week, I got home and was mildly irritated at myself to discover that i really had no food in the house. Fortunately for myself, I had a [...]

Hospitali-teed off!
This weekend, I was fortunate enough to find myself in Napa, celebrating Lisa’s (@winedivergirl) housewarming. Since I was staying the night, we had planned to go wine tasting the next day with our friend Brian from The Roger Smith Hotel (@bsimi), who was visiting from New York. When we got going on the rainy winter [...]
Open that Bottle already!
Have you ever wanted an excuse to open a special bottle of wine you have been holding on to, but just can’t quite bring yourself to crack? Now is your chance!

Jumping frogs, Twisted wines, and Sneaky Syrah
Who needs romantic candlelit dinners? Who needs chocolate and sweet nothings? Not me. I had a much better Valentine’s Day weekend, spend slurping the good stuff in one of the hottest new wine regions of California, Calaveras County. My first visits to this area were whizzing by Douglas Flat on the way to go skiing [...]

G'day mate! Drink for a cause.
Wow it’s been a wet weekend. Fortunately we have been catching up on our drought ravaged region’s rain consumption, but Australia has not been as lucky. If you haven’t heard, there are over 13 separate out of control wild fires (called bushfires in Oz) burning as we speak. With Victoria being one of the most [...]
