They’d find time to immerse themselves in all the diverse wineries we have here in California. We started looking in wine country for a house. The agri...

    One of our cabernet blends would be what I want if I were on a desert island. Pamelita Reserve would be what I would take, but Nuns Canyon would be a close second. Outside Hamel wines, for my wife and I it depends on what we’re eating. If I had to pick a cocktail, a Negroni. For beer, definitely a Spotted Cow from New Glarus. Fork. Spoon. Life. exp...
