Randy and Carrie talk about their recent vacations and what wines they came across

Writing a description for a show in which one interviews someone who writes reviews and descriptions for a living can be daunting, but it is made easier when you are a fan. We have loved Last Bottle wines for years, and are now fans of one of the three co-founders Stefan Blicker. Stefan shares his origins in the wine world (and an Alaska connection with Carrie), explains how www.lastbottlewines.com came to be, and some insightful pairing ideas for the wine he shared. Yount Ridge Proprietary Red Blend, 2009.

Carrie recounts her 4 wine filled days in Napa/Sonoma

Carrie breaks her wine fast for two very important celebrations. Randy, Carrie, and the gang get to visit some friends in Santa Barbara County for a wine tasting day trip!

Sometimes you need to recover from too much fun, and that was the case for Randy this week. But Carrie and Randy still made some amazing meals and smoked some delicious meats to share.
