Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Silver Mountain winery needs your help. You may already have heard about Silver Mountain's fight to be allowed to open to the public. They are asking for help from supporters to call or write to the Santa Cruz planning department. Also if you're free on Wednesday May 26th in Santa Cruz it would be extremely helpful if you can attend the hearing in person. It will be held at 9AM in the Supervisors chambers in the County Building on Ocean Street in Santa Cruz. Monday, May 17, 2010.

Thursday, August 26, 2010. New Concept in Stemware. Not everybody is hip to new ideas or concepts, but check this out:. This not yet patented stem design is available from Chevalier Collection in Beverly Hills, CA, for a fancy price tag. The idea is that the wine is aerated within your glass rather than using other hand held devices. Http:/ chevaliercollection.com/collection.php. Tuesday, August 24, 2010.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. I receive a lot of wine related products for the tasting room. This sippy cup idea is the latest thing to come across my desk so I thought I would share it. I kind of hate to admit it, but this particular "stem" has merit. Pool party where you don't want glass? I try not to get too hung up on drinking wine from a proper vessel, sometimes, you just have to go with the venue. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley wines.

Friends of the Winemakers: Vino Cruz
http://fowca.blogspot.com/2012/01/vino-cruz.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Right after Thanksgiving last year, I popped over "the hill" from San Jose to Santa Cruz and met Steve, the new owner of Vino Cruz. We were early, but Ryan (he runs the shop and tasting bar) was nice enough to let us in and start browsing while he set up the tasting area. There were seven of us in our group but we still managed to zip through the selections and talk "shop" before the next group of visitors came by to steal away Ryan's attention. 725 Front Street #101.
