A crisp, green apple-y champagne with a little honey on the finish. Fine as an option from our much-beloved non-Champagne Parigot Rose.

Awaiting lunch @bellstreetfarm in lovely Los Alamos http://t.co/zx3nBQzq You walk in and it looks like a miniature version of Ye Olde Soda Fountain (intentional mixed metaphor). Then you check out the menu and smack yourself because your hunger isn’t big enough for two entrees! Deliciosity! Nice wines by the glass, intriguing food options. But we…
Read MoreThe Pub at Golden Road
Great place to hang out for a while, have some more-than-reasonably tasty food and a few beers. Just posted a photo @ The Pub at Golden Road http://t.co/xURKiAYS
Read MoreTry wines and tasty food!
Try wines by the glass and a fun assortment of things to eat. Also a nicely curated draft beer list and excellent local and imported wine for retail sale. We liked the Lovers Sandwich (ham and blue cheese on excellent bread) so much we had another one the next day. @ 15 Degrees C: http://t.co/5ZmPkoaz…

Read MoreDiatom
Put California and Chardonnay together and rarely would you think they add up to these wines from Greg Brewer (Brewer-Clifton, Melville). His three chardonnays released in 2010 for this Diatom project totaled 5,460 bottles (455 cases). So, these are not easy to find unless you go directly to www.diatomwines.com. A weathered skeleton in windy fields…
Read MoreBlue Bonarda
In a recent issue of Food + Wine magazine, they had a feature on “alternate reds” along with recipes to accompany. Not ever having tasted a bonarda before, as far as I know, the photos of the recipe looked great. So, we headed over to Silverlake Wine and picked up a bonarda. This one, from…
