WBW #60 Round Up: I Have Zinned

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Sonadora

A hearty thanks to all who busted out some Zin to participate in the 5th birthday of WBW! As you probably gathered by now, I set the theme for this momentous occasion to I Have Zinned. I asked everyone to grab a bottle of Zin and pair it with their favorite grilled or BBQ food.  [...]

Duck Duck Duck Zin!

Posted on June 29, 2009 by Sonadora

I recently found a butcher near our house and I am SO excited. I really missed having someone to order meat from and to cut what I want exactly like I want it to be cut.  So I stopped by the butcher and picked up a couple fresh duck breasts. YUM! Matt played chef for [...]

Gewurz Time!

Posted on June 27, 2009 by Sonadora

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Mill Creek Winery. Tonight I felt like a spicy white wine. Our weather is hot hot hot! And white wine is just the ticket for nights like tonight.  I picked the 2007 Mill Creek Winery Gewurztraminer out of the basement to sip after dinner.  We had [...]

Frei and MacMurray

Posted on May 31, 2009 by Sonadora

Back at last year’s Wine Blogger Conference, I met Kelly from Gallo Family Estates.  She sat next to me at the speed dating/live blogging/whatever you want to call it first event where we were introduced rapidly to about 14 wines. At the time, I think she was a little bemused by the flurry of activity, [...]

Making the Rounds

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Sonadora

We had some time to kill after our appointment at Mounts and before we met up with lots of folks at the Healdsburg Bar and Grill for drinks and food.  I remembered that on the way into town is Seghesio’s tasting room, so we decided to swing by and see what Seghesio has going on [...]

Marvelous Mounts

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Sonadora

Two years ago, we were the first ever (literally, the first) visitors to Mounts Family Winery.  We had made an appointment that day for first thing at Michel Schlumberger, a close neighbor of the Mounts’ property.  We finished up there and were heading down the road with no particular agenda, only to see some balloons [...]

Traipsing By Teldeschi

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Sonadora

I’ve had a hankering for some more 1998 Teldeschi Petite Sirah ever since Lowell and I drank the last bottle on election night.  So I put it on the top of my list for a visit on this trip.  So much so, that we drove in from the San Francisco airport, after having left our [...]

Visiting Lambert Bridge

Posted on August 7, 2008 by Sonadora

I must confess, whenever I hear the name of this winery, I get a song stuck in my head from when I was a little kid. It came from a cartoon called “Lambert, the sheepish lion.” Cute cartoon, and a random memory! We stopped at Lambert Bridge on our last day in Sonoma. Their website [...]

A Trip to Teldeschi

Posted on July 16, 2008 by Sonadora

On our 3rd and final day in California this spring, Matt and I parted ways with Russ after a stop for sustenance at the Dry Creek General Store. Sadly, Russ had to go home and needed to get on the road before rush hour became an issue for him. After he departed, we sat around [...]

Drinking with Patrick, Genevieve, and Russ

Posted on July 15, 2008 by Sonadora

As I’ve mentioned before, Patrick was kind enough to escort Matt, Russ, and me around his stomping ground of Healdsburg one of the days we were out in California this spring. Not only did he play tour guide, but he also chauffeured us around, acted as the local restaurant critic, and provided Russ with accommodations! [...]
