Throughout my college years, it was difficult to go to a party and not hear Naught by Nature’s O.P.P. Now, it is the sort of thing that is heard on occasion in a movie when referencing the ’90s, or, for instance, when discussing my diet with a friend. They were […]
Last week I had the opportunity to enjoy lunch with one of California’s most well regarded winemakers. Mike Trujillo is the president of Sequoia Grove and has been making wine in Napa Valley for thirty something years. He’s also a cool guy. I met Mike, two representatives from Kobrand, the […]
