• Wine, Food and Love with #WinePW

  

  The day of love has arrived; February 14: Valentine’s Day. What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?

Many non-dating single…

• Feeling Alright Now with Cornerstone Cellars Chardonnay

  I am the first to admit I am not a huge fan of Chardonnay. I enjoy many white wines but Chardonnay tends to fall to the bottom of the list. I think this is mostly a result of the many poorly crafted California Chardonnays I have had over the past several decades. Last November I…

• I’m In the Mood for a Chardonnay

  

  As November continues week two of #Winestudio’s “The Importance of Being a Willamette Chardonnay” featured two more truly outstanding wines. As the lively discussions continue with the winemakers of the featured wines on thing is becoming apparent to me: Willamette Valley wine makers are an eclectic bunch.
