We really miss celebrating it with our friends in person, now that we’re all social distancing. So we’ve come up with a way to celebrate together virtually, from the safety of our own homes. On Wednesday, April ...

Tasting room manager friends often brainstorm with me about how to get more people into their tasting rooms during the slower winter and post-holidays season.

(Just wanted to point out that ...

I stopped by Matthews Winery the other day to do a wine tasting, and ran into owner Diane Otis. She showed me their new wine bottle shopping area, and the corner they’ve created a new turntable DJ space in. Their new Vino & Vinyl event sounds so fun! On Saturday nights, a DJ will be playing Motown jazz, soul, funk, ...
