Clif Family Winery is the Wine Wednesday theme for today.  Last week, I posted solely about the winery itself, because I loved reading about their environmental efforts.  I also have eaten my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA bars.  Our Trader Joes has a big display of them. I enjoyed The Climber 2006 Red Wine, but The Climber 2008 White Wine is my favorite.  I might be biased, however, as I’m currently on a white [...]

Back when I was more athletic, I ate my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA Bars. The makers of these nutritous foods (Clif Bar & Company) are also behind the Clif Family Winery & Farm. I decided to write an entire post about the winery in general, because I know that quite a few La Jolla Mom readers are interested in sustainable and/or organic wines.  Plus, a lot of you are probably already familiar with the parent [...]

This was a total impulse buy.  I have a slightly emotional attachment to Pomelos because we used to buy them all the time in Hong Kong.  Pomelo is a very large citrus fruit (looks like a grapefruit on steroids) that is native to South East Asia.  Because they are very difficult to peel, we’d buy it already peeled.  It was expensive.  It was (probably still is) La Jolla Girl’s favorite fruit.  She could eat buckets of [...]

This is the Chardonnay that I mentioned last week in my Challis Lane post.  The manager at BevMo said that customers are raving about Donovan Parke Chardonnay, because it’s one of those almost “too good to be true” kinds of wines at the BevMo 5 cent sale.  It retails normally for $11.99 so with the second bottle at 5 cents, that’s $6.02 per bottle.  A pretty good deal. There is limited information available online about this [...]

I bought this wine at Costco and I believe I paid around $7.99 for it. I had heard of it before because I read it received a 90 rating by Wine Spectator which, to me, is a pretty reliable indicator that it’s good. But it’s even better at that bargain price. We go to the Fishery in Pacific Beach for takeout every once in a while. I would suggest it to anyone that likes ceviche [...]

So, I have to say that my weekend at SITScation has left me pretty tired and behind.  I’m going to take this opportunity to ask you all what your favorite wine is.  It can be any price, any varietal, etc.  I’d love to try it, if I can find it. You can leave a regular comment or use Mister Linky.  If you’re not familiar with Mister Linky, here’s the deal.  In the first box, leave [...]
