This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending Booker Vineyard's annual member release party and I wanted to share some photos of what ended up being an incredible day. The wine, food, music and setting couldn't have been more perfect. Pier 46 Seafood Market and Thomas Hill Organics catered the event and provided a delicious [...]
The wine country just north of Santa Barbara is hands down one of my favorite destinations for a weekend trip. Considering how often I visit the area, I've made it a point to find out which wineries are dog friendly. Just as I discovered in Paso Robles, Santa Barbara is full of wineries that welcome [...]

I contacted several wineries in [...]
Foxen is not a new discovery for me, however I can't think of any other place I'd rather begin. I first came across Foxen on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
