You know what I love? Wine. And you know what else I love? Focusing in on one grape (like Chardonnay, for example) and attempting to learn about it and enjoy all of its nuances. We had that opportunity this past weekend at the Chardonnay Symposium thanks to Chris Slaughter, who … [Read more...]
Sangria and Other Summer Juice
One of our friends (Kristie) on our Hoot 'n Annie Facebook page had asked us for good Sangria recipes and I was stumped because I have never made it…but I knew Annie had so she gave Kristie a recipe that she had used before. We asked our friends on the HnA page for more recipes … [Read more...]
Wineries: Are the BIG Guys Hurting the Little Guys???
Well, the answer is NO, but recently I have been involved in several conversations about the wineries in Paso Robles and how some of these big guys that are moving in to the area with all this money are hurting the small wineries…I just don’t buy it. This area would not and … [Read more...]
Chardonnay Symposium: ABC, Anything But Complainers

BevMo!: Adult Disneyland in Paso Robles
We were invited to the Pre-Grand Opening party at the new BevMo! in Paso Robles recently and I’m not one to turn down invitations to events celebrating alcohol. If you're not familiar with BevMo!, it's a one-stop shop for anything and everything you'd ever dream of drinking! … [Read more...]
Recent Sips and Slurpings
Not sure I like the word “slurpings”…our friend Kendall that works at Edward Sellers Winery calls late afternoon wine “shmackins”; which I think sounds better. So kudos to Kendall! Anyway, this isn’t about Kendall (sorry KC), it’s about recent things I have been sipping on since … [Read more...]
JUST Inn at the Justin Vineyards and Winery
As you know from the article last week, we recently had the amazing opportunity to go out to Justin Vineyards & Winery. What started out as simply a dinner that Annie won on Krush 92.5 radio ended up being an absolutely amazing overnight stay in the Bourdeaux Suite at the … [Read more...]
