My man Dan and I celebrated our anniversary last night at home with a scrumptious home cooked meal for a fraction of the cost of a restaurant dinner. We’ve never had more fun nor a more delicious meal. Originally my wonderful husband made reservations at a fancy restaurant where we’ve celebrated in years past. After […]
Today I am saddened by the devastation to Signorello due to the raging fires in Napa and Sonoma. I am reposting – not to forget what a wonderful experience I had there! Prayers are with everyone from Signorello! I recently visited Signorello Estate in Napa for a bit of food and wine pairing. Delicious cheeses, […]

I visited in August when morning temperatures send you scrambling for a sweater, but by mid-morning you find yourself stripping it off. As I arrived at Blackbird the sun was beaming warm and bright and the coolness of the open […]
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting with Marc and Janice Mondavi at the handsome Charles Krug winery, the first in Napa Valley. Under the guidance of the Monday family since 1943 when it was purchased by Caesar Mondavi , who built a profitable grape and fruit shipping business, the Mondavi’s remain dedicated to producing […]
