What the heck is Verjus? Kokomo’s 2013 surprise bottle.
It’s basic as organic grape juice. It’s pressed juice from semi-ripened and unfermented grapes. Chefs around the world have been using this ingredient for many years and of course Erik Miller (winemaker) of Kokomo Wines has introduced this amazing phenomenon to us in the Northbay to...

Ledson Winery and Vineyards was one of many “must see” stops in Sonoma County that we like to include for our out of town guests to experience. It’s a bit different to see a castle-like estate, such as you’d see back east in the rolling...
Miramonte a Food and Wine Experience
The second stop of the day was Miramonte Winery in Temecula, California. This casual yet contemporary tasting room was undergoing some outside renovations and the inside was dark and cool from the beaming late-morning sun. It was a much needed escape to a place with...
Hart Winery shows their heart
Definitely reminiscent of the Bay Area weather by it’s sunny surroundings after the misty fog gave way, lies the first winery at the base of Rancho California Road in Temecula, California. As one of 34 wineries in Temecula Wine Country, this winery had much to...
A meet and greet networking event and wines to look forward to
