One of the great things about a West Coast Book Launch Tour (for my new book, KeeKee's Big Adventures in Paris, France) is there were great travel and wine experiences to be had...from Washington to Oregon to California! We started in Seattle which meant Washington wine. Just into town, a friend gave us a bottle [...]

Enjoyed a fun bottle of Portuguese wine tonight, Casal Garcia White, picked up recently from Seattle Wine Outlet. It's fruity aromas and light body with citrus taste were the perfect pairing for our Coconut Chicken Noodle dish.

I'll admit that before living in Europe the site of pink wine automatically made me think of a sweet White Zinfandel. And needless to say, I'm not a fan. Now I see pink wine and I think Rosé, a lovely refreshing wine made from red grape varieties. The 'pink' comes from leaving the red grape [...]
