What is blended wine? Blends are wines that do not carry a single varietal designation. Some of the finest wines in the world are actually wine blends. Bordeaux blends and Rhone blends are some of the most famous but here in California Opus One and Joseph Phelps in the Napa Valley have honed their skills creating phenomenal wine blends themselves. For example; Insignia. A blended wine is complex in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

A Sunday morning brainstorming session and breakfast are good when you enjoy diner-style food with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of orange juice. My co-host, Victoria, and I ate at Pappy's Diner in Santa Maria off the 101 freeway while creating content for this podcast. We both enjoyed omelets but chose two very different styles than the other. She had a Ranchero, and I ordered a California-style Omelet. She also ordered Rye bread while I ordered an English Muffin. Both meals are considered healthy but hers was healthier than mine. Listen along as we discuss diners across the USA and the Central Coast of California.

A trip to wine country in January means one thing, no lines, and a chance for excellent service due to dry January followers. In this case, I am not a follower. Dry January means no alcohol, to dry out from partaking too much during the holidays. I don't agree with the concept as it is detrimental to the wine industry in which I love and have been part of for years. It's a stress and burden on the economy in wine country.

The title accurately describes an evening of oysters and some more oysters among friends and family. For the love of food in general and spending time with friends and family Dr. Ray Arensdorf and his wife Courtney created this fun event as a fundraiser for local charities in the Santa Maria Valley. And I, being a foodie myself, was invited to attend.
Our evening was spent around the island in an outdoor patio bbq room surrounded by coolers of raw oysters and many friends. Ray and Courtney created oyster masterpieces for the guests to sip, savor and indulge their senses. We ate them as fast as they were prepared and anxiously awaited more. The evening was unique and felt like it flew by, although we had been there for multiple hours. Little did we know the planning and care for the event began when they left their house in the morning to pick up supplies for the day that took them to the Morro Bay Embarcadero and a walk on the beach.
Dr. Ray was born in California and raised in the Santa Maria Valley. He received a Bachelor's Degree from UC Santa Barbara and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West. In his personal time he participates as an Oyster and Sushi Chef for family gatherings as well as fundraising charity events.
