I can’t remember the last time I drank red wine two days in a row without food being involved, but I’m trying to adapt to the weather. As much as I liked the Alma Negra, which you can read about in my latest post for the Foodista blog, the 2007 Viu Manent Syrah El Olivar [More]

Day One at the 2010 International Food Blogger Conference
What a whirlwind volunteering at the IFBC! Unpacked hundreds of copies of Eating Local, sliced 300 buns for Jason Wilson’s delicious black cod “BLT”, met all kinds of people, including Morgan Spurlock. Can’t wait for day two; I believe I will be opening an ungodly amount of wine bottles and assisting chefs. See you there! [More]
