How Did You Fall in Love with Wine? -An Interview with Mother-Son Duo, Delia and Alan Viader

“So how did you fall in love with wine?”

This is the question to ask Delia Viader. I’ve never seen someone get so excited and light up responding to a question. It’s clear that both Delia and her son Alan are passionate about what they do, and their enthusiasm is contagious.

Why You Should Bring a "Memory Wine" to Thanksgiving

Why You Should Bring a “Memory Wine” to Thanksgiving

When I drink any Ceja wine I am automatically transported back to their winery and recall the incredible memories made there.  These “wine memories” include spending time with great friends, possibly playing bocce and/or learning to dance salsa, enjoying authentic, delectable Mexican food, and sipping on delicious wine.  I always get a warm feeling (not just from the alcohol ;)) when I drink Ceja…

How to Prep for National Merlot Day {11-7-17} *Sponsored* #thevelvetdevil #howmerlotcanyougo

Why Merlot? Why NOT Merlot?! Ever since the movie Sideways, Merlot has gotten a bad rep. Merlot is one of the most delicious and versatile wine varieties out there. Awesome berry flavors, super smooth with a “liquid” cashmere like quality, and pairing great with most foods. What is there not to love about Merlot? Since National Merlot Day is coming up,  I’ve been looking for Merlot to…

How You Can Help People Affected by the California Fires

As many of you have heard devastating fires are ripping through Northern California. Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, and Solano County (Suisun Valley) have all been affected. Currently friends are evacuating to safety.
