Tercero 2006 Cuvee Christie - TreeHouse Tasting No.45

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:12:36 -0700

I picked up this nice bottle of red last year at a Meet The Winemaker Night at The Winery Collective in the tourist-centric Cannery area of San Francisco. Tourist area aside, it's really a nice tasting room that features about 100 wines from about two dozen smaller wineries in California. On the night I was there it was a special evening with winemaker Larry Schaffer of Tercero Winery. His small operation in Santa Barbara County is made up of...

I've done two "semesters" of wine classes at the SF Wine Center and couldn't be happier with the instructors, the hosts, the wines tasted, and the things I've learned.

We thought we re-visit the tasting we posted at the time: TreeHouse Tasting Tuesday No.12: Vintage Berkeley Edition - Domaine De Montrabech ...

Organic Hippie-Speak

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 10:33:16 -0700

I'm kind of annoyed. I keep noticing that there is a debate about whether organic fruits and veggies are "healthier" or "more nutritious" than non-organic foods. I read articles in national magazines, online blogs, and even on NPR's Talk Of Nation. So do organic foods have more nutritional value? Who the heck cares? Each debate discusses the scientific studies being done on the fruits and veggies to determine their nutritional value. These have more vitamin...
