Recently I had the opportunity to participate in DolceVita Safari’s first Sonoma Day Camp. I had previewed the itinerary on my blog a few weeks ago. Now it’s time for the scoop. The day of the event could not have been more beautiful, sunny and breezy. We began at Tin Barn Vineyards, which is […]

A Couple of Weekend Whites
It’s been a crazy busy month, so much so that almost all of my posts were written prior to March 1 and scheduled in advance. Originally my plan was for March to be a dry month. However, early on, I changed my mind. I was thirsty to try new wines. Below are a couple of […]

Second Chances at Ehlers Estate
A second chance can happen every day, in every moment that one chooses to change direction or be someone or something different. In #MWWC18, I wrote about my crisis, which turned out to be a second chance. I was a community college professor living in Virginia who, after the end of long teaching career, moved to Napa, California […]
Beth’s Smart Sips 20 December 2015
The past two weeks have honestly been terrible. I have had some sort of crud that started out as a sinus infection and ended up being bronchitis. After two rounds of antibiotics, I was finally prescribed an inhaler, which has been a breakthrough for me, but I am still in the recovery process. I have […]

What’s in My Glass: Random Napa Sips
Interestingly enough, I rarely review Napa wines. Occasionally, I receive Napa wines from friends to enjoy, but I don’t receive Napa wines specifically as media samples. I am not sure if that’s because I live here and work in the wine business? The winery for which I work now encourages comparative tastings and even hosts […]
My July Sips
This has been an interesting month for me. I’ve been struggling with off-and-on, low-grade headaches for weeks, so those have caused me to cut back on my wine sipping. I’m still trying to determine a cause, which is probably a combination of eye strain, neck strain, and stress. At any rate, I did manage to […]
Villa Maria Estate, we meet again!
It’s rare that I write something prior to a Twitter virtual wine tasting, but as my schedule would have it, I am quite busy these next three weeks and I wanted to take advantage of a rare free evening to taste wine. I know, the sacrifices I make for you, my readers. The virtual tasting […]
A week in the life of Traveling Wine Chick
It’s been a month since I last posted. I’ve been working, traveling, attending chiropractic sessions, assisting a friend with her new business venture, oh, and surviving the Napa earthquake. I can’t believe it’s September already. Regarding the earthquake, I was very fortunate to have not sustained any damage, just some stuff was moved, including large […]
