A two-day trip to the charming railroad town of Willcox in 2013 left us longing to return. We fell in love with the high desert grassland, the mountains that ring the Sulphur Springs Valley and, of course, the wine.

It’s time for another of those wine days. This time Cabernet gets its day, not that Cabernet really needs to be brought to the attention of most wine enthusiasts, but we are happy to join the celebration because we enjoy a good Cabernet.

Do you want a wine cooler or do you need a wine cooler? These are two different questions.

How we store our […]

Two days spent in this beautiful, southeast corner of Arizona left us wanting to return for a longer stay. It has taken us five years to return, but return we did this May, and we had to […]
We don’t all like the same kind of wine, and that’s okay, in fact it’s one of the things I enjoy most about wine. Gathering friends together over a meal and a collection of wines is always an interesting experience. I look forward to the opinions of others and how they compare to my own impressions. This collection wine, which […]
We spent Sunday afternoon sipping wine with a group of winemakers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. That sounds pretty random, I know, but the invitation didn’t come entirely out of the blue — it came from Blue Danube Wine Company. Let the wine adventure begin. Blue Danube Wine Company Blue Danube Wine Company was founded by Frank Dietrich and Zsuzsanna Molnar […]
If ever I have heard a story of two wine lovers who made their dream come true, it’s that of Karen and John Troisi and their Jean Edwards Cellars. We recently sat down with the busy couple behind Jean Edward Cellars at their new tasting room along Sonoma’s Vine Alley. We talked Cabernet Sauvignon, winemaking and their love of dogs […]
