Last weekend, I held a Texas wine class at Correcaminos Vineyard in Ramona, CA. Not only was wine served, but the attendees also enjoyed some Shiner Bock beer and local smoked brisket from Pete’s BBQ in Ramona. A fun time was had by all.

This is what weekend shopping looks like. Photo taken at K&L Wine Merchants in Hollywood, CA.

Spring is a great time to enjoy some Champagne!

Happy Thanksgiving 2022 from Dane, Tomoko, and Calvin Kuta!

In October, the Wine Ninjas and I took a scouting trip to Paso Robles. Here, we learned an incredible amount about Paso Wine Country and secured a couple of great sponsorships from Lone Madrone and Desperada. You’ll see these wines at MiraCosta College next semester!

Things are rolling along during the Fall semester at MiraCosta College. Wine appreciation courses include Wines From A Land Down Under, Bordeaux Master, and Vive La France! More courses coming for the Winter and Spring semesters!

I am taste-testing a sparkling wine from Tasmania named 42 Degrees South, which is the latitude of Tasmania. This wine is not available in the US, but you can find it at my MiraCosta wine appreciation course this fall entitled Wines From A Land Down Under.

It’s always a good day for Champagne!
