First trip of the summer (part 1)

I just got back from my first trip of the summer.� My family and I spent a week in Mammoth Lakes (Eastern Sierra) with my parents, sister, and my brother and his family.� Needless to say it was a full house, but thankfully a spacious house. From the Bay area, the drive was around 7 [...]

A Tough Reminder

As I sit in the middle of what has to be referred to as the holiday rush, there are still signs that the wine industry as a whole has some issues. Outside of the standard complaints about big distributors and their affect on smaller production wineries, the direct shipping assault led by wholesalers through HR [...]

8 delicious Kosher wines to celebrate each night of Hanukkah

This year, Hanukkah begins early, marked by sunset on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Hanukkah is known as the "Festival of Lights", commemorating Israel's freedom from the oppressive Syrian-Greek rule and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem...It?s customary to eat deep-fried foods to celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah, in which a cruse of oil lasted for eight days instead of one.

What?s your ?electric chair? food and wine pairing?

When hanging out with fellow food obsessed friends and wine nerds, I often throw the following question out to the crowd to see the responses it will elicit:

If forced to choose, what would be your "electric chair" food and wine pairing?

In other words, what would you eat and drink for your very last meal on God's little green earth. Inevitably, names like DRC, Lafite, d'Yquem and Krug weave their way into the conversation, matched with foods like duck breast, Wagyu, Foie Gras, and Sturgeon Caviar...
