There are many myths surrounding St. Patrick and whiskey (whisky is the preferred term for Scotch), all of them probably false, since the first written record of whiskey in the UK don't occur until the 15th century

The story of Californian wine country is a story of transformative success and evolving style. Greater in size than many winemaking countries, the sunshine state has an ideal climate for ripening grapes, moderated in top wine growing areas by the cooling influence of the Pacific ocean.

Family Meal meets Wine Seminar

Summer is winding down and the tent on the Patio will go away. In the mean time we are going to use it as much as we can in the mean time. Our Patio Wine Seminars have been very well attended so we figured if we add dinner and talk about wine, how much fun would that be.

Introducing the Saturday Wine Supper
