  While traveling through Napa Valley last month I noticed that all the Vineyards I visited had roses planted around their crops.

  Snoothrank:

  Well, I am headed back up to Amador County (plymouth, ca)  for wine tasting after several years.  It is not my first choice in wine regions, but a friend wants to visit.   I see, that in my absence, that several new wineries have popped up there.... and it is not still all Zin and Viogner.  I was doing some research, and it appears there are mor...

  A little over a year ago, my husband and I went arbitrarily cruising in our convertible VW bug looking for fun wineries to visit.

  Savannah may not sit in wine country, but this destination has everything that makes for a wonderful winecation: history, breathtaking setting, art, and of course, great food. Toted as “The Hostess City of the South,” this title is supported by the running joke made famous by John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: “We have a say... Read More
