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!

2 weeks wine tasting in France was a wonderful experience. I visited the Champagne and Bordeaux regions. I have lots of knowledge to share and plenty of stories about these wonderful wine growing areas. Sante!

Only professional Somms can properly determine the color of wine with shades on. DO NOT try this at home. From the Summer course catalog at MiraCosta College Community Education.

2nd editions are arriving soon. All are completely revised and updated. There is even a new format along with updated cover art. Coming in late 2022 and early 2023 are 2nd editions of Wines From A Land Down Under, Vive La France!, I Love California Wine, and Italian Wine, Art, and Culture.
