End-of-Summer Sale

By Vino & Vintage August 13, 2014 Leave a comment

If you think it’s been a little quiet over here at Vino & Vintage…you’re not exactly wrong. We just got back from a much needed Summer vacation in California. Don’t get it twisted though, it was definitely not all play and no work (though it was a lot of California wine!). Actually, we’ve been getting […]

Lodi Blends

By Vino & Vintage October 9, 2013 Leave a comment

This past week we decided to tap into our California wine stash, particularly some affordable red blends from Lodi.  The bottles were purchased at Cost Plus World Market during our recent trip to SoCal.  At $10-$12 per bottle, you’re looking at some great value.  Lodi, CA has not steered us wrong yet.  Cheers! Winemaker’s Notes: […]

A Macaron Summer

Summer is in full swing….sun, water and a glass of white wine…all is perfect. Half of Vino & Vintage is currently vacationing in Southern California. We all know what that means, right?  Wine, Wine and more wine!  The variety of wine choices on the west coast is definitely something to envy.  At just about any […]

Season of Pinot Noir

By Vino & Vintage April 1, 2013 6 Comments

With Spring and Winter still battling it out, we’ve found ourselves drinking a lot more Pinot Noir. Hmmmm….  Well, it is known as being a lighter wine… Could explain why it seems to satisfy on those not-too-cold/not-too-warm days. (Who are we kidding? We’ll drink red wine anytime of year! :p) Pinot Noir is also known for […]
