On Women & Wine

Corzo Tequila Tasting - An Evening of Pairings with Cheese & Chocolate

Doing some last minute stuff before we go to Yosemite tomorrow for the Vintners Holiday at The Ahwahnee Lodge with winemaker Amelia Ceja, grower extraodinaire Andy Beckstoffer (congrats on Vintners Hall of Fame!), Steve Reeder winemaker from Simi, Frederick Schrader of Schrader Vineyards, and Dan Goldfield of Dutton-Goldfield - can’t wait!

Do you like to eat family style?
It makes me nervous when people won’t pick up a chicken bone in their hand or try to eat a taco with a knife and fork. And then there are those who cringe at the thought of passing around a platter or - god forbid - eating off of someone’s plate. What kind of eater are you?

Hors d’oeuvres at the Hostellerie de Plaisance St. Emilion, France

I love drinking champagne in the middle of the day - and these beautiful treats (the lollypops are fois gras) started our lunch off on the perfect note. Stay at this hotel if you can afford it - the vistas are amazing - or else indulge in the 2 star lunch.
