4th Annual American Fine Wine Competition will highlight America?s brightest, boutique wineries while raising money for charity
I was recently invited to participate in a ?Celebrity Press Judging? for the 4th Annual American Fine Wine Competition that offered a sneak peek at some of this year?s vinous contenders! As the name implies, this competition celebrates only American produced wines while raising money for some fabulous local charities in the process.

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...
