Wine Tasting in Beaune (comments from a novice!)

In this post I discuss what I learned. It is very basic…definitely not a post for an experienced French wine connoisseur. But if you are just interested in a few basic concepts as discussed by a complete novice, you may enjoy this post.

Week End in Los Olivos

My boyfriend Rick and I love wine tasting on the Central California Coast. Los Olivos, a quaint little town located in the Santa Ynez Valley, is one of our very favorite haunts! . Although it is an historic town, today Los Olivos showcases modern wine tasting rooms, both old school and new upscale restaurants, art galleries, and clothing boutiques.

St. Helena Restaurants

Napa is a mecca for food and wine; however my best-loved town for both is St. Helena. Today we want to talk about restaurants in St. Helena. I actually have a home there and, having visited for many years, I have favorite places I like to eat, both reasonably priced and a bit more expensive. I hoped you might be interested in the perspective of someone who actually has been multiple times to each of these restaurants.
