Ashes & Diamonds Winery is giving me all the Mad Men feels (misus the misogony)…

I pretend I can cook insta-worthy 5-course meals, but in reality left over Chinese food, Barilla pasta, or just chugging Champagne often constitutes dinner...

These wines are alive; they've got the spunk of Maggie Smith in Downton and the verve of a Bruno Mars video. 

I have heard “our wines are Old World style” in Napa more times than I’ve heard “I’m here for the right reasons” on the Bachelor...

I wrote about how Napa does Napa over at City Scout Mag...

Forget slapping the bag: boxed and canned wines are rapidly emerging as an acceptably classy mechanism for insobriety.

Both are experimental forces to be reckoned with; they confuse and delight the senses with chewy texture, popping floral notes and gritty licks. 

If this wine could wink at you it would, right after biting its lower lip...

If you too, daydreamed about being Ariel when you were little, pack this wine in a Swell bottle and sip it in the ocean, because this is straight mermaid juice.   

"Wei Chi" is a Sémillon from Lake County, and what's more gangster than California Sémillon?

The Rabasco "Cancelli" tastes like a cigar dipped in Dr. Pepper; which is exactly what I imagine Bread's tour bus smelled like...
