Celebrating 40 Years of Jordan Winery
I’ve become so accustomed to getting evites that when a physical invitation arrived in the mail from Jordan Winery announcing their 40th anniversary celebration it immediately raised my expectations. And, when the invitation came in an elegant box like the one sent by the team at Jordan Winery for not one but two events, a luncheon and tasting retrospective of 40 years of Jordan, as well as a party that night – the anticipation was…

Thinking About Making Your Own Wine – Here’s A Personal Story from One of Our Women & Wine Fans
Several years ago my husband and I made a trip to Napa Valley with two of our good friends and were introduced to the Finkelstein family, owners of Judd’s Hill Winery. At the time they were located up on beautiful Howell Mountain. We had a lovely tasting and visit with the owners, Art and Bunny. We met Judd, their son and assistant winemaker at the time, and his lovely new bride Holly.
They told us…
Super Bowl Dessert a Crowd Pleaser Paired with Sweet Wine
Ambrosia Dessert Wine is wine with Late Harvest Traminette (late harvest concentrates the floral, apricot and honey flavors) blended in Valvin Muscat to heighten the luscious fruit overtones. Truly a wine to be savored.
Ambrosia dessert wine differs from traditional ice wine in that the residual sugar level (sweetness) is lower, but the alcohol level is higher. In this case the Ambrosia is 8.5% residual sugar and 14.6% alcohol, verses a traditional ice wine which…

I also LOVE lasagne – and eggplant – so when we received this recipe from : Pasquale Pons the Director of Château Les Valentines we couldn’t wait to share it with you! Just as an fyi, rose and tomato sauce goes really well together – just the right balance…
What Wine is Your Republican Candidate? A Quick Guide
Can’t keep all the Republican candidates straight?
Want an easy way to remember who is who in this crowded field? We thought we would have fun tagging them with wine varietals based on their personality and views so here goes (even though some abstain from alcohol).
Mitt Romney. Definitely an expensive Napa Valley Cabernet. With his well-coiffed hair and those movie star looks, we bet he has great legs too.
Ron Paul. He’s quirky and…
10 Favorite Songs With Wine Lyrics and Links to the Music Videos
My husband is always bugging me to make a playlist of songs that I love to listen to when I’m drinking/tasting wine. Not so simple, as depending on the time of day, the season, whether it’s with or without food, there’s always a song in my head when I’m drinking wine.
So this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see Kris Chislett from http://blogyourwine.com had done most of the work in creating this compilation of…
