I stopped by the SIP Certified table at the Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of it before, but knew it was something I’d be interested in learning more about. SIP Certified was developed by the Central Coast Vineyard Team, which is a network of farmers located in [...]

As I’m attending the Paso Robles Wine Country 2010 Grand Tasting Tour today, I thought it would be appropriate to mention a Paso Wine, even if it’s not one of my favorites (though I liked it). This one was recommended by the staff at San Diego Wine Company. I paid $12.95 there, however, [...]

I don’t remember why this red blend wine wound up in the cart but it was purchased at San Diego Wine Company for $9.95. I did ask an employee for recommendations but we wound up with so many different bottles it was hard for me to keep track. I did manage to walk out with [...]

Right now, it’s marked down from $15.99 to $9.99 if you are a ClubBev member. If you’re not a ClubBev member, it’s free to [...]

There are some places that I just haven’t been to in a while for no good reason. Wine Time is one of those places.
It was lunchtime and we had no food. I didn’t have a chance to get to the store before I had to pick La Jolla Girl up from [...]

I was really hoping for a knock out here but wasn’t hopeful due to the $8.99 price tag. I bought it at Henry’s, intrigued by the Fair Trade aspect.
