		<title>#SauvBlanc World Wide Tasting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
The Sauvignon Blanc (#SauvBlanc) Tweet-up on March 4th was a smashing success.  Produced by @RickBakas and @StSupery Winery, the goal of the event was to share and experience Sauvignon Blanc from wineries across the globe.  In fact, @Johner got up at 2 am in Germany to participate. A quick analysis of the event shows that over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merlot Gets Her Groove Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
First, I need to come clean and say that this is my first experience tasting a wine from Washington State.  Yes, I know, I hate to admit that it took me this long, but as the 2010 Wine Bloggers Conference in Washington grows near, I feel compelled to learn more about this popular wine country.

		<title>Tom Burgess: Living the Dream since 1972</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
For many of us the idea of owning a vineyard and producing a quality Napa wine is just a fantasy, but for Tom Burgess it’s a reality. After traveling the world with the United States Air force, Tom’s love for wine and adventure brought him to the Napa Valley, and in 1972, Burgess Cellars was [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Your Conundrum?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Want a wine that pairs well with dinner and dessert that won’t break your bank?  Well, thanks to social media I was introduced to another great wine thanks to my friends @rickbakas and @aundycrenshaw on twitter.

The Conundrum is a lovely tropical wine on the nose, apple crisp on the palate, and sweet and creamy on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Caymus Raises the Bar!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Would you believe me if I told you I got a Caymus Zinfandel for only $32?  Probably not, right? Caymus is known for their high-end Napa Cabs, but they also produce a Sauvignon Blanc and a Zinfandel.  Both affordable, unique are worth a trip to the tasting room.
As I journey deeper into the realm of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fellowship of Schramsberg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Last week I had the great privilege to join Hugh Davies at Schramsberg Vineyards to taste wine at his private table with his associates.  I felt a little bit like Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings when he enters the circle of trust in Rivendell.  To some this might seem only as a wine [...]]]></description>

Last weekend I was invited to my very first wine blending party organized by Thea Dwelle (@winebratsf) and hosted at Conn Creek Winery!  The group consisted of myself, a small group of passionate wine bloggers and together each of us blended our very own wine using the fruit from the best AVAs in the Napa [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Only Sparking Wine You Will Ever Need!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Last Tuesday night (12/01) I had the great opportunity to blog live from Red Carpet Wine’s new wine tasting lounge with free Wi-Fi.  The guest of honor was Hugh Davies, owner of Schramsberg in Napa Valley. Each table was neatly dressed with champaign glasses and a small platter of cheese, fruits and chocolates.  The event was [...]]]></description>

Today I am very exited to write about a very special wine that I discovered earlier this year thanks to two really good friends I met using the power of twitter.  I am of course talking about the rock star James Berry and the beautiful Marisa Gutierrez.  When I told them that I was coming to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;ForeFront&#8221; Sauvignon Blanc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
This Sauvignon Blanc is my personal favorite from the “Forefront” wine series.  67% of the fruit comes from the Sonoma Dry Creek Valley and 33% from Napa counties.  Dry Creek Valley is an area best known for producing great Zinfandels because of its cool, dry climate with minimal heat waves.  After learning this I wasn’t [...]]]></description>
