Speaking of my friend Ryan, Bonfire Vineyards is having its second annual tasting event. It will take place Sunday, July 27 from 1:00 to 4:30. Unfortunately for me, it is also the 2nd day of Rosenblum Cellars’ Open House. We are short-staffed already, so I’m afraid I can’t get away. And this year I’d especially like to be […]

Thanks to Fork & Bottle for hosting For Wine Blogging Wednesday #29.
