Though I did not particularly enjoy my visit to Peju Winery, I did take home a couple bottles of the unusual red and white blend: NV Peju Provence. A quick look at the notes on the website showed that it is 62% red (Cab, Merlot, and Zin) and 38% white (estate Chardonnay and French Colombard). I […]
A month or two ago I bought the 2006 Coral Mustang Tempranillo Rose’ from Wine Q for $14.99. I finally got around to opening it night before last. Sometimes a rose’ is just right for this back-and-forth weather we’re having these days. Warm, then cold, then cool, then hot. make up yer mind […]
I didn’t realize what a picky eater I was growing up until I started adding up all the things that I now eat. Mushrooms, squash, bell peppers, just to start. Another thing I wouldn’t eat was ricotta cheese, which is a damn shame because my little Italian grandmother used to make her own to put into lasagna. […]
With this recent turn to nicer weather, I’ve been daydreaming about spring and summer wine adventures. Last July and August found me in Paso Robles, where one of our favorite wineries was L’Aventure. While I won’t be breaking out the red I bought there any time soon, this 2006 L’Aventure Rose’ was calling my name […]

The first was BK’s inclination to make pancakes with beer instead of milk and his leaving behind a few bottles of Pete’s Wicked Strawberry Blonde. The second was the […]
Just because I haven’t written about a meal doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. It’s a matter of timing and organization. Therefore, I’m just now getting around to recapping my Christmas day meal with wine pairings. Food items: turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, butternut squash, candied sweet potatoes, divinely sweet pearl onions, ambrosia, and more […]
Here’s another post that almost got lost in the blog shuffle, and the reason for not skipping on this one is twofold. First, with the holidays looming, I’ve been missing Mississippi lately–my family, friends, the food. Creola in San Carlos is a great place to go to appease those pangs. New Orleans decor and food, […]
A few weeks ago I made a meal that inadvertantly became a revisitation of the trip BK and I took to Paso Robles in June. First, the caesar salad with diced anchovies asked to be served with the 2005 Garretson Celeidh Rose’. Far from a typical pink, this one is quite dark with big bold […]
