Talk about a great gig! The Murphy-Goode Winery has a “really Goode Job” opening. The Sonoma County winery wants to find an ‘outgoing, web-savvy, articulate communicator’ to blog, Tweet and talk about Sonoma wines.

I recently received an advance copy of “The Texas Hill Country” A Food and Wine Lover’s Paradise and have already put it to good use. The attractive cover (a beautiful, lush grapevine) and easy to follow format got my attention. Before I knew it, I’d committed a good 15 minutes to exploring the recipes and […]
I’ve got a fun road trip for you today. It’s one of Texas oldest wineries in the beautiful Hill Country near Lake Buchanan.
Check out Fall Creek Vineyards – It’s about 20 minutes north of Marble Falls. Ask to see their famous Louis Pasteur doors.
