Autographed Wine Bottles

March 11, 2009 – 6:28 am

When I was ten years old I remember walking to K-mart and standing in line for what seemed to be hours to get an autograph from my then hero, Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. I was never in to getting autographs from movie stars or authors. When my children were growing up they too […]

Two Buck Chuck

March 10, 2009 – 8:00 am

I feel the need to post something about Trader Joe’s famous “Two Buck Chuck.” I found myself meandering among the aisles of Trader Joe’s Wine Shop last Friday when I happened upon these insanely cheap bottles of wine. I had heard rumors in the past . . . murmurings of a wine that was both […]

Bottling Our First Sweet Wine

March 9, 2009 – 7:54 am

On Saturday we bottled our first sweet wine. This was our second bottling of a wine produced from a kit.  Since our last bottling, we had purchased a floor model corker and it was definitely worth it. This corker only takes one person to cork a bottle. According to the wine kit, we should have […]

Wineries Support Different Types of Causes

March 8, 2009 – 11:47 am

Many wineries support different causes. Sometimes it’s a donation of wine, perhaps a percentage of a sale of a particular wine or maybe an event. If you are a dog lover, the following special event may be of interest to you. The event in Healdsburg, California will benefit the Healdsburg Animal Shelter. Mutt Lynch Winery […]

Hot Air Balloons and Champagne

March 7, 2009 – 11:54 am

Hot air balloons can be a lot of fun whether you watch from the safety of the ground, ride in the balloon or crew for a balloon. The colors, the sights and the sounds are a photo opportunity just waiting for that perfect moment. For those unfamiliar with hot air ballooning, the crew consists of […]

Lodging Wineries

March 6, 2009 – 10:29 am

Occasionally as we visit wineries, we are fortunate to be able to enjoy a night’s lodging at a winery. Imagine waking up in the morning to the beautiful views of vineyards. In the winter, the architecture of the vines provides picture-taking opportunities and spring brings views of the earth coming to life beginning with the […]

Two Rivers Winery & Chateau

March 5, 2009 – 9:19 am

Yesterday I received a press release from Leif Johnson of the Palisade Chamber of Commerce in Colorado. Two Rivers Winery & Chateau has just purchased Amber Ridge Winery. We visited Two Rivers Winery last year in Grand Junction, Colorado and discovered it to be a lovely winery to taste wines and spend the night. It […]

In the middle of all this traffic and people busy with their everyday lives, there are more than 25 wineries available for people to visit. Temecula means, “land where […]

Temecula Winery Restaurants

March 3, 2009 – 9:46 am

I was amazed last year when a magazine editor mentioned his surprise when I stated that wineries in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region of Ontario had several restaurants. He commented that wineries in California do not have restaurants. A winery that has a restaurant always affords an opportunity to mix wine, food and friends. As far as […]

Temecula, California Wine Region

March 2, 2009 – 9:23 am

To the west of Temecula, lie over 25 wineries with over 1500 acres of vineyards currently under production. Up to a few years ago, many Californians did not know where Temecula was located, not to mention the remainder of the country. But things began to change in 2008 when a Temecula winery, South Coast won […]
