Barrel Tasting this past Sunday was supposed to be day # 2 of new adventures and discoveries…  Basically, an extension of the agenda from Saturday. It started off normal enough.  I met up with Thea at a new winery in the Russian River Valley called Copain Wines (aka @Copain). The Copain tasting room is located on [...]

I was just recently asked by a winemaker friend of mine if I have any marketing agency recommendations for him.  After he told me he was looking for an agency to create a print ad, my first question to him was why he wanted an agency to do this for him when it would be [...]

I am just sitting in Palette Art cafe, enjoying their free wifi and drinking a soy mocha.  Not much to say, but I feel like writing (and trying not to over think the proposal that I need to write). The song “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman just started playing which instantly brings a rush of [...]

I have been “tagged” multiple times on Facebook with this Myspace inspired spam called 25 Random Things about you.  Inspired by David LeBovitz’s blog post “89 random things about me”  I decided to also post mine on my blog, mainly because it explains a lot about me and the reasoning behind this blog. 1.

I am sitting in the Sacramento airport bar, awaiting my flight to take me to Seattle. Yes, I am aware that it is December and I am leaving semi-sunny Northern California to be vacationing in Seattle where the weather forecast predicts rain all weekend. But, as my title states….

Just wanted to show off my Christmas tree this year.   Ever since I have been living on my own I have lived in apartments either alone or with roommates that hate Christmas.  This year I finally have a large enough place to get a tree that is taller than me. I also decided to [...]

For the past 15 years (yes, just over half of my life) I have been a vegetarian. My middle and high school years were spent eating mac and cheese, cheese ravioli, spaghetti and generally anything that involved cheese (processed cheese squares is what my mom bought).

As I sit here and think about where I want to go with my post(s) about this past weekend at the Wine Bloggers Conference, I keep going back to some of the images that I took over the last three days (yes, when I remembered to bring my camera) and reminiscing on how great it [...]

Last night was my first night in my new house.  Going from living by myself in a one bedroom apartment (with no laundry on the premise) in downtown Healdsburg to having three GUY roommates in Alexander Valley will be a huge adjustment for both me and the guys…. Until I have more stories, here is picture [...]
