I’m not sure where you were Saturday night, but if you weren’t at the Chase Family Cellar’s July Fest extravaganza, frankly you missed the taco boat, pardner. And while white men supposedly can’t dance, and women only eat chocolate after dark, and wine can’t be slurped only savored, and 80’s music is as dead as Elvis, this summer showdown stomped out all of those crazy notions, because for the good and bad of it, white men did dance, WRISTROCKET proved that 80's rock will surge regardless of the decade, and slurpin a bounty of fine wines is A-OK in the presence of good company and a downright majestic wine farm setting. Sombreros off to Mitchell's Taco Truck (they perkily served up mind blowing tacos and burritos for a crowd of 500+) and to the grand old folks at Chase, thanks for welcoming us into your family if only for the night. If you yearn to keep the lovin feeling alive all summer long scoop up as much of their zippy Zin that your hot little hands can handle! Wacky Winesense Rating: 5 grapes!
LA artist Jason Lockyer is at it again. This time his work hits the road, so you don't have to. No longer are you relegated into a gallery to see his work you can view it from the comfort of your own car or sidewalk as he whizzes right on by. You too can wallpaper your car with some of his arty delights. That is if any of them are left after his latest exhibit, spawned from it's Germany-based rendition. Read more about it here.

Not that anybody seems to notice but I’m back to my slim, post-bud break fighting weight of a svelte 20.5 pounds. I’m tempted to drop down to 20 but that would require a major overhaul to my wine-swilling repertoire and I’m not ready to commit to such a change.
Columnist, novelist, food, wine, event critic, marketing and promotions. When someone recently told me to "get a life" I decided to get a "wineward" life instead. When I slurp wine, I feel fine, enough said. I intend to slurp and scribe as much as humanly possible. My background came of age slinging ads (interactive and traditional ad agencies) from the glamorous (Sony, ABC/Disney, WB), the cuddly (Purina), foodie (Kraft), techie (HP, Intel, AT&T, Apple), & publishing (Conde Nast, Time Inc., Hearst), film festival production, and the list goes on and on.
