Blind Tasting: Eagle Eye Wines

Date: Fri, Feb 6, 2009 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

The wine industry is littered with multi-talented individuals, people we like to call “Renaissance Men” (or women). Eagle Eye Wines is owned and operated by what I’d like to call a “Renaissance Couple”, Bill and Roxanne Wolf. Between the two of them, they have experience in food service, sales, marketing, real estate, olive oil production, [...] Related posts:

There is never a dull moment in the life of a winemaker.

Simple Pleasures: Romantic Food and Wine Pairings for Valentine’s Day

Date: Thu, Jan 29, 2009 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I am a hopeless romantic.  I write poetry, I buy little gifts, I still make “mixed tapes,” but I’ve always felt that the way to a (good) man’s heart is through his stomach…  which is probably why I don’t mind forgoing the fancy restaurant and cooking for my man. As nice as it is to be [...] Related posts:

Taco Soup and Boneless Chicken Wings: Recipes for your Superbowl party

Ingredients: 1 lb ground bison (or ground beef) 1 Taco Seasoning packet 1 15 oz [...] Related posts:
