I know I know, Annie and I live in Paso Robles! In fact, we live about three minutes away from the LaBellasera Hotel and Suites, but we wanted a change of scenery and rather than leave town we thought we’d do a little “PasoCation” (I made that term up, don’t steal it). After some … [Read more...]

So, as you may know, Annie and I feel that food isn't just food. Sure, there's the basic "food to survive" thing we all know about but one thing Annie brought into my life almost six years ago was the experimentation and adventure that food can be and sometimes is. A great food … [Read more...]

The Romance of Wine

August 13, 2012 matt 3 Comments

I think that living in wine country and always being around it makes one lose some of the romantic feelings about wine. When you’re constantly around it and most of the people you know are directly involved in the industry you start hearing a lot of what goes on behind the … [Read more...]
