Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The JRE 2010 Zinfandel Dry Creek is not a "big" Zinfandel that you typically find out of the Dry Creek Region (such as Mazzocco Winery, De La Montanya Winery) but is very smooth with light tannins. In the end this is an excellent Weekday Wine.

Silver Range Malbec 2011 – exceptional $10 red wine
Saturday, October 20, 2012
The 2011 Silver Range Malbec is one of best red wines I have enjoyed for $10. It is a full bodied red wine with a very smooth finish. The broad flavor profile includes blackberry and cherry flavors with a slight hint of vanilla. The 2011 Silver Range Malbec would compliment heavy red meat dishes (BBQ or roasts) but is also subtle enough to go with saucy chicken dish.
Ca’ Momi 2009 Rosso Di Napa Red Wine – A Great Wine Value

Central California Wine Discovery – Au Bon Climat 2009 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County
Monday, September 10, 2012
We enjoyed the Au Bon Climat 2009 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir with Roasted Corn and Kale Quiche Joanie created tonight. The bright berry flavors from this well balanced wine were a perfect compliment. As with all good wines, enjoying it by itself is also a great option. We plan to enjoy another glass later tonight on our back patio while we enjoy one of the first cool nights after a long hot summer.
Anniversary Trip to Disney World – Day One
Monday, September 3, 2012
When we decided to come to Walt Disney World for our anniversary trip we knew that we wanted to spend time together and not focus on "doing" the parks. We have taken many trips with our family and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit, being there from the rope drop to being some of the last people to leave the park. This time we booked a couple of restaurants in advanced to make sure we get in, but other than that we did not have a real plan.

Monday, August 13, 2012
The Chamisal Vineyards Stainless Chardonnay wine is very fruity with orange, lemon and lime citrus flavors that stand on their own. The Chardonnay wine is finishes very clean with a bit of a light acid which makes it a great wine to pair with light summer meals (or by itself).
