We met the owner, other consultants, and like-minded wine drinkers who’d come to celebrate the return of group (albeit small) tastings.

A Simple Meal
Judy and I marveled at how we continually bring our travels to our table, re-living the tastes and memories of places we’ve been both near and far.
Go Big or Stay Home??
We’ve discovered the smaller places can be well worth the stop .. at least when it comes to wine.
Daou is a Definite Wow!
There’s a whole world out there waiting to be explored. Sip the wine, be awed by the view and enjoy the stories along the way.
