One of our favorite memories of our prior Northern California neighborhood was on Christmas Eve when the street was cleared of cars and lit up with luminaries. No matter how cold it was (yeah, you people who live in cold climates will scoff to hear that us Californians tend to grumble about going out on a 45 degree night) we would take a walk up the street and enjoy the blissful ambiance. But to top it off, we had a destination; the house at the end of the block always awaited the neighbors with hot mulled wine. Yum. It’s that time of year and...

If you’re looking for a great outing in the Bay Area wine country, consider the Wine and Food Affair in Northern Sonoma County on November 7th and 8th. Similar to other such “wine road” or “passport” events, participants purchase a ticket that provides them a glass and entrance to multiple wineries on a given route. In this case, you select one of the over 100 participating wineries to start your day’s journey which appears to avoid overcrowding at any one place. In addition to the wine tasting at each winery, one thing that looks great about this is that each location will...

Somehow we’ve all grown up with images in our heads of the ancients stomping grapes to produce wine. Well, now you too can have the pleasure. According to USA Today, it’s not just us wild and crazy Californians who indulge in this; it appears that folks across the U.S. crave the feel of grapes between their toes. From Northern California’s wine country to SoCal’s Santa Barbara, north to Oregon and Washington and east to New York, Virginia and North Carolina, harvest festivals are in full swing including some that feature grape stomping contests. And by the way, we’re celebrating our own harvest season. No,...
