BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Cal Dennison likes a nice cold glass of chardonnay. And he's man enough to admit it. That's hardly surprising since Dennison is winemaker at the Modesto-based Redwood Creek winery, but is he an exception? Judging by some marketing campaigns, you might think so. Take the Super Bowl ad that ran a couple years back in which men invited to a wine and cheese party sneaked into the kitchen to unpack beer hidden in a fake wheel of cheese. |

Just imagine, driving an exotic sports car, maybe even a rare Enzo Ferrari through Northern California’s beautiful wine country. Then you take that fantastic driving machine for a spin on the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
Sounds like a dream… right? Perhaps. But this is a dream to fight a nightmare one little girl lives everyday… epilepsy. |

REVOLUTION WINES
Wine… Chocolate… Massage… Three of my favorite things all came together at a special event at Revolution Wines. But more on the big event later.
First let’s get urban. As in a winery right in the middle of town. Not a wine bar, but an actual, honest to God, crushing the grapes, fermenting in French oak barrels… winery.

South Napa plant provides place for disabled workforce Paul White inspects wine packaging for an hourly wage, but he doesn’t consider it work. And his colleagues are not just employees of a Napa company — they are all part of one happy family, he said.
His coworker, Pei-lin Casey, said fishing is the only activity she likes more than working the packaging line at WineBev Services near the Napa County Airport, creating two-packs and four-packs of wine bottles for sale. |

Mencarini family of Abundance Vineyards opens a tasting room
Rustic by design, Abundance Vineyards' new Lodi tasting room also reflects the owners' Italian heritage. Lodi, Calif. -- Abundance Vineyards opened Lodi's newest tasting room Dec. 19, less than four months after starting construction, but the new 4,000-square-foot structure culminates a lifetime of work and a long-time dream of third-generation Lodi grapegrowers Dino and Ron Mencarini. The new facility strongly reflects the Mencarini's Italian heritage, and represents a tribute to their grandparents who immigrated from Italy and began farming in the Lodi area in the 1800s. |
