Blog 90 What sparkling wine did you drink to bring on the New Year?Every year, I pick a special sparkling wine that I enjoy to bring on the New Year. This year, my New Year’s Eve celebration consisted of drinking J Cuvee 20 Brut from J Vineyards & Winery; a great sparkling wine from the Russian River Valley area in California. J makes a great tasting bubbly that is affordable and worthy of drinking the whole night through. Many people feel that they do not like sparkling wine and steer away…See More

100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 89 A Dessert Wine to Remember

Blog 89 A Dessert Wine to RememberIf you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, there may be a small availability left of Jordan Vineyard & Winery’s 1982, 1983, and 1985 estate bottled Sauternes-style dessert wines. While Jordan is normally known for creating Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, they have a little secret that they don’t tell the public. If you get a chance to visit their winery for a tour and tasting, you may be offered one of their dessert wines. My favorite was…See More

Preparing for a Wine Wedding

Many people have emailed me wondering when I will be back and what would make me gone for so long. No, I did not fall into a barrel of wine...although...while not a bad idea, I don't want to only drink one wine with what the world has to offer me. I have been traveling the United States and visiting as many wineries as possible so that I could report back to you with my many adventures in wine. I figured since I loved California wine so much, I could only imagine what the other forty-nine…See More

100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 74 What is Verjus?

Blog 74 What is Verjus?In Healdsburg, you will notice that many of the wine tasting rooms offer olive oil made from their own olive trees in their vineyards. Being Italian, I don’t have a choice but to love olive oil. After tasting some of the different types of olive oil in the Sonoma Valley, it is hard to purchase olive oil in a regular store again. Of course, I picked up a half a case of this stuff and even started to look for more as I went from tasting room to tasting room.I walked into…See More

Yes .. we are launching a portal which would be a WEB based directory and would also be selling wine tours and vineyard holidays across the globe for all wineries who would join us as a member and allow us to sell wine tours and vineyard holidays on their behalf.

Hi Veronica,
Unfortunately, I'm between tasting rooms right now. We are trying to get a permit from the County to start a remodel on an old Victorian house we moved into last year. If you can contact me closer to your trip, I'll know where we are with things, and if it would make any sense for you to come by.
How often do you get to Napa?
Mary

Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Hello!

My company is based out of California and specializes in exporting and distributing wine to China.

 

We are currently looking for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines that fall in the $1-4/bottle price range for a client that wants 1 small order and one much larger bulk order.

 

If anyone with bottled and labeled wine in this price range and is interested in exporting to China don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you just have general questions,…
