Lots of articles come out this time of year suggesting wine pairings for large, rustic holiday meals and dinner parties with many conflicting ingredients. Indeed, there are perfect food and wine matches to be discovered. However, I use holidays like these to pair the wines with the guests more so than with food, especially with the wine novice guests. So many people have horror stories from college involving neon colored jug wine and have refrained from wine ever since. Others are just...

Wine is basically magic, right? A cure-all elixir that makes the fountain of youth look like a warm can of Coke. At least that’s what the barrage of news reports, advertising promises and countless online headlines tell you. The fact is, wine is a boon to your body in several ways, but the benefits are far smaller in scale than we have been led to believe. Can this be true? Bob the Wine Guy, is minimizing some wine fact rather than embellishing it. Will wonders never cease? Well, boys and girls,...

Claudia White, Loop Publisher, asked me to update my column from last year about the Mountain Festival. I wrote a column taken from the 1968 Lilac Festival brochure that I had found in my mother Marion Deaver’s files last year – it was the only one she had saved. So, having discovered the library at Tehachapi Museum, thanks to Del Troy, I once again imposed upon her to let me see some of the other old brochures. I chose several, including the 1958 brochure proclaiming that year as the first ann...
