At Joseph Phelps Winery in Napa Valley, there is a wonderful tasting program. A group of about 15 or so gather around a large table in a glass room for a fee of about $20.

This is possibly the best pizza I have ever had, and it’s a recipe that anyone with a Barbecue (Preferably Gas) can make. My father came to my house one day, and my wife and I planned on making pizza in the oven on the stone as we normally do. Larry recommended throwing it on […]

A press release by wineanswers does a nice job pairing the basic grilled items of summer with appetizing wines. Sausage with a Beaujolais, […]

Aptly named, “The Wine Lover’s Cookbook” by Sid Goldstein, is written around the wine, as opposed to pairing wine to the food. Zinfandel with a nice tomato sauce based dish, Pinot Noir highlighted by grilled duck breast, and Cabernet with Grilled Lamb chops in a reduction sauce are just some of the highlights. A write […]

The Mumm rated our favorite both alone and with the dessert.”
