Good things don’t need to be expensive, even when it comes to wine. If you’re hosting this holiday season and looking for quality wine that will impress your guests, but not depress your bank account, then give […]
I’ve known Rick Cavender for years. With my husband being in the car business, our paths have crossed many times. I’ve watched his passion for music grow and remember when his band first started. They used to come on the Living show I hosted on WOAI back some ten years ago. His Elvis impressions are […]

Robert Mondavi’s vision of making fine wines and establishing Napa as a world-class wine making region is still celebrated today. The marketing genius made the name Mondavi synonymous with the word wine. I had the pleasure of meeting Rob Mondavi, Jr., Robert’s grandson, during last Fall’s crush.
There’s a silver lining to every cloud, and the sluggish economy has slowed down the sales of higher end wines which means lower prices for wine drinkers…a lot lower. Some higher end wines cost 30% less today than they did at this time last year. And, some of the harder to find wines, are all […]
Lidia Bastianich’s family produces some wonderful wines. I fell in love with the Vespa Bianco…a Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay blend.
I love this time of year. There’s nothing like the holidays to put you in a festive mood. And, no better way to celebrate than with good friends and good wine. I’ve got some great wine suggestions for all kinds of holiday dishes, plus some ‘bubblies’ that are just plain fun! Traditionally, we’ve always been […]

I’ve interviewed tons of TV personalities over the years – some impressed me, others disappointed me. Lidia Bastianich is an impeccable pro! The warm, enthusiastic, passionate ‘Lidia’ you see on PBS is the exact person who came to my house Sunday to shoot a cooking segment. I answered the ring at my door and felt […]
Topless beaches, expensive yachts, and exotic sportscars will certainly catch your eye in the South of France, but the medieval village of St. Paul de Vence will capture your heart. St. Paul de Vence is a step back in time – the tiny village winds its way up a steep hillside –the views of the […]
If you are interested in learning more about wine, there’s a wine class Saturday, October 10, at Soleil Bistro. The news release I got says this is a casual class to give you some tools to relax with wine and enjoy it as a hobby. Food is not included in the $25 per person cost.
The good news for wine drinkers is that prices have never been more competitive—especially in the higher priced wines. By higher priced, I mean $30 and above. Those wines are moving more slowly, hence, the good old law of supply and demand kicks in. Watch for sales and compare prices. That Quintessa that sells for […]
I am about to celebrate a milestone birthday. In anticipation of this ‘event’, my sweet husband several years ago bought a 1959 Chateau Lynch Bages (Bordeaux) to drink on this occasion. Tonight, we are popping the cork, and I’m already wondering what it will be like. This could be the oldest bottle of wine we’ve […]
Dark chocolate and red wine…find yourself floating up to heaven just thinking about the combination?! Keep flying and I’ll fill you in on the results of a wine and chocolate pairing I recently did at my house.
