Well, this feels strange. I have not been to a winery to taste wine in quite some time and I have not done a “blog” post about wine tasting in forever. Annie, my wife, and I started our wine blog (originally called Hoot n’ Annie) way back in 2010. I think it was February of that … [Read more...]
Let’s See How This Goes…Again
Well, we're going to give this a shot again. We are thinking about diving back into posting regularly here. Annie and I have had this wine blog for over a decade and then we just got burnt out on talking about wine and creating content. I've missed the content part, to be honest. … [Read more...]
Smoked Al Pastor Skewers
I'm gonna go ahead and say it; we eat a LOT of tacos at our house! And not even just at the house, we eat tacos when we go out to eat, too! There's nothing better than a toasted corn tortilla filled with flavorful meat, topped with whatever delicious other things you like. My … [Read more...]
Spring Gardening Project with Loo Loo Farms
We don’t normally do a vegetable garden because our yard just isn’t great for it. We live on a hill and there’s not a lot of full sun, but we’ve definitely missed doing it. Well, this year an opportunity arose to “foster” a good friend’s garden, so we jumped at it! We reached out … [Read more...]

Getting Stuck, but Humanity Comes Through
This past weekend we (Annie, myself, and our boy Sammy) decided to head out through Shandon to Shell Creek Road (out in the sticks) to see how the wildflowers were going so far this year. The drive was great. Amazingly green rolling hills and batches of yellow flowers here and … [Read more...]
Travel: Back to Shaver Lake, CA
Shaver Lake has quickly become one of our favorite places. We’ve only been up there three times in two years but we’re working on more visits. We went up a couple of winters ago to get Sammy in the snow for the first time. We then returned this past summer to check it out minus … [Read more...]
Q&A with Rich Secchiaroli from Terra Mia
I have known Rich as an acquaintance for a few years now and have had the luxury of going to Terra Mia for a couple of the Fryers Roasts, which are so much fun. Terra Mia is an amazingly stunning property right in the heart of wine country. Let’s get to know Rich a little better. … [Read more...]
