2015 Emmie’s Blend and Albarino Day!
When I went to the market the other day, my sweet tooth is calling to get something, I probably should not have had. We all know what that’s like. Don’t ever go shopping when you’re hungry. Well it was already too late at that point, something made me turn my head because it looked so…

2011 Robby’s Blend and a Calzone

2012 Petite Sirah and Plum Chutney
I’m gonna start off in the negative this week even though I try not to. I must share I had the world’s worst tasteless plums last week. They were so bad… How bad were they? Sounds like the start of a bad joke. Well, I bought five, I took a bite of the first one…

Father’s Day Crab Carbonara and 2011 Muscat
Father’s Day is coming this week and my dad loves crab cakes. I made that back in November for his birthday. So, instead of the same dish, I thought why not pasta with crab! I am making a crab carbonara pasta. The traditional way is with guanciale or pancetta. I am substituting it with crab.…
