18 California Wines for National Drink Wine Day
Did you know Feb.18 is National Drink Wine Day? We think the occasion calls for a toast. Or how about 18? Here are some great California wines to uncork in observance. Cheers!
Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Tucked into what feels like a regal woodland in the heart of the Valley – almost appearing out of nowhere with its distinct pink buildings peeking out from mature trees that tower well over 100 feet – is the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa.

Winery of the Week: Hamel Family Wines
If you love big, bold red wines whose aromatics burst from the bottle and dance across your nose and then whose layers of flavors come in waves on your palate…then Hamel Family Wines in Sonoma is for you.
Winery of the Week: DAOU Vineyards
There is one word that comes to mind when you visit Paso Robles-based DAOU Vineyards: WOW.
A Weekend in…Palm Springs
Greater Palm Springs – which includes Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio and Coachella – offers a vivid tapestry of diverse experiences from hot springs and healing spas to epicurean adventures and animal encounters.
Winery of the Week: ONEHOPE Wine
There is a new kid on the block in the Rutherford region of Napa, and she is a stunner. In 2020, ONEHOPE Wine opened its first full-scale tasting room in the heart of Napa.

Though it got its start as a wine region in earnest in the 1980s, Paso Robles is already among the preeminent destinations to oenophiles worldwide.
Winery of the Week: Booker Vineyard

A Weekend in…Tahoe South
There is no wrong time to visit Lake Tahoe. But in the winter; it is magic. The southern shore of Lake Tahoe—nicknamed Tahoe South and straddling the Nevada/California border—truly has it all.
