Well, me either but they hold award ceremonies and bashes and maintain a list of "The Most Mustache-Friendly Cities" within the United States. Let's just say they take their mustaches pretty seriously. On the other hand, Jonathan Adler pays homage to the mustache in a more light-hearted fashion. This bottle opener is the perfect accompaniment to a good bottle of vino when you want to amuse your host (or hostess!)

Murphy-Goode's Zinfandel known as Liars' Dice is one of the winery's more popular bottles... Sure, sure, there are rich, fruit flavors of black cherry and blackberry jam with soft tannins that perfectly balance the sweetness of the fruit. But we just think it's the perfect bottle to have when *playing* Liars' Dice. (also check out what the San Francisco Chronicle had to say about their experience at the Murphy-Goode Tasting room: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/06/20/WICT112E9H.DTL)

(since we bought so much of the wine for my Murphy Goode Winery job application video). Fortunately, the Fumé Blanc (the Californication of Sauvignon Blanc) is super perfect for the beginning of summer since it pairs well with "appetizers, salads, grilled chicken or fish, light sauces and lighter dishes in general. The wine's succulent fruit and good acidity complement fresh seafood, particularly shellfish." So this weekend, we're throwing some shrimp on the barbie (maybe a couple on ken, too), and starting the summer off with Murphy Goode's "The Fumé."

Celebrating the earth with something from the earth makes perfect sense, if it is cultivated with care. And why should your wine be anything less than earth friendly when you have such a variety to choose from ? Pick a vineyard ... Celebrating the earth with something from the earth makes perfect sense, if it is cultivated with care. And why should your wine be anything less than earth friendly when you have such a variety to choose from ? Pick a vineyard close to home, one that focuses on the unique value of the land it cultivates and/or pays particular attention to its own carbon footprint. Cheers to you, Mother Earth !

Another fine Organic Merlot. Maybe that guy in Sideways wouldn't have refused if it was organic : ) Comes from a friendly winery - so buying a bottle supports both them and organic farming!

Great all in one device. If you enjoy fine wines and you usually do not finish the whole bottle this is perfect. This incorporates a decanter and a wine stop all in one.

When you're walking up Beverly Drive, you might catch the downwind, and crinkle your nose. WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?! From anyone or anything else, the odor will be offensive, but from the Cheesestore of Beverly Hills, it's the luxurious fragrance of an entire store filled with cheese. The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills has everything, and Norbert and Tony not only know their cheeses, but are so genuinely sweet and enthusiastic that you'll want to take home a piece of everything. Restrain yourself. The store isn't going anywhere, and buying only what you need means you get to go back for more. The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills does gift baskets, and this aint' no Hickory Farms. Le Rustique is an impressive collection: Audoin de Dampierre Champagne, Marsanny Red Burgundy, Chassagne Montrachet (!), a 1 kilo Brie, 5 assorted cheeses, a large Panettone (someone else can take that - I don't love panettone), mustard, olives, pate, pistachios, a tin of cookies, French chocolate Truffles, Spanish Fig Cake, Chocolate Twigs, and a beautiful boxed set of four cheese plates featuring vintage Camembert labels.
