I might just have to throw in the towel when it comes to Alsace. The first tasting, I went into thinking it would be great. It was far from it. The second, I was a little more jaded but still hopeful. However, we tasted a whopping nine wines, and barely over a third of them were […]
Lazy Creek Vineyards was another Anderson Valley find, but it wasn’t easy to do so. The sign to the dirt road off of 128 was a rusted LC (maybe there was a V, too…but I can’t recall now) that I barely noticed as we were driving past, resulting in a turn around in someone’s driveway. However, […]
