Wine Tasting in Central CaliforniaTerravant Wine Company, in Buellton California, had a coming out party in December when it hosted a benefit open house wine tasting at its new ultra premium winery. Eleven wine producers, all who used the central coast facility for their 2008 wines, were pouring their best to enthusiastic wine tasters. Tasting Wine at the San Luis Obispo Harvest FestivalOver 1,000 people enjoyed the wine and food of the SLO Vintners Harvest Celebration Grand Tasting at the Avila Beach Golf Resort. Twenty-seven wineries and twenty-six restaurants from the Central Coast showed off their finest in an afternoon of wine tasting, food sampling, live music, auctions and the celebration a successful harvest. Crave Wine. Crave Food. Crave Music. Crave PasoHundreds of young wine consumers converged on the sold out CRAVE wine event as Paso Robles headed 30 miles south to San Luis Obispo to show off its bounty of fine wines to a new generation of wine drinkers. Expectations to be amazed by an evening of fine entertainment, tantalizing small bites, and palette pleasing wines, were exceeded by all accounts. Thanksgiving Wine GuideWith Thanksgiving only a days weeks away the challenging task of matching a wine to the traditional feast should be well under way. Thanksgiving challenging? Yes, because the traditional meal does not lend itself easily to one particular wine. Tasting Wine in the Mendocino Wine CountryMendocino County wine country is sparsely populated and an enchanting place, offering a majestic coastline with charming, rustic villages, tranquil river valleys, ancient stands of redwoods and a diverse and remarkable range of wines and wineries. Mendocino wineries tend to be smaller, less crowded and perhaps friendly than other wine regions. Tasting Wine in TemeculaTemecula offers visitors almost 40 wineries to visit including the small family run places as well as the full fledged "destination wineries" complete with music and event venues, bed & breakfast inns, and full service restaurants. The region is 60 miles north of San Diego and 90 miiles southwest of Los Angeles and produces award winning Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Zinfandel, Viognier, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Pinot Gris and sparkling and dessert wines. Bottle Shock - Uncorking Another SidewaysBottle Shock the movie is an entertaining, albeit not completely factual look at the events leading up to the famous 1976 “Judgment in Paris”, where California wines beat out their French counterparts in a blind tasting putting California wines firmly on the wine map. It is a good romp in the vineyard and shows us what the Napa of old was like and how things have changed since.
