On a recent weekday I spent a day wine tasting in Napa Valley with a group of friends. The weather was warm for December, in the mid 60s, and mostly overcast. The drive from Stockton to Napa takes us through the San Francisco Bay Delta.
Our friend Dave joined us for a recent online tasting with Carolyn Wente, CEO of Wente Family Estates. She shared some of her favorite Holiday recipes with us as we tasted some of the Wente wines.
Pete and I had a great introduction to the wines the Languedoc region of France during the Wine Bloggers Conference in August. This made us curious about the region, its climate and food as well. We decided to build a wine and food tasting from this experience.
I had hoped to update this every day but it just wasn’t possible. We were busy all day long and then there were the after parties … So much wine, so little time!
We have started off WBC12 (Wine Bloggers Conference 2012) in Portland with a fun wine trip to Stoller Family Estate.
Well we are headed off to the Wine Bloggers Conference 2012 (WBC12) this week in Portland, Oregon.
Another online wine tasting, this time featuring Chamisal Vineyards from Edna Valley.
Last July we tasted four different Chardonnay’s produced by Wente Vineyards. Now we have just participated in another online tasting of the same wines only from the next years vintage.
We had an event filled wine weekend. Friday night we were invited to a wine tasting and appetizer event
This week we tasted Chardonnay from several areas around the world.
We enjoy wine, food and travel. Pull That Cork is a chronicle of our wine adventures, the food and wine pairings we create and our travels which are increasingly organized around wine.
