		<description><![CDATA[Do you have a favorite wine? My choice would typically be a full bodied red. However, if I was eating a plate of oysters or ceviche, I would select a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.  That being said, I have become quite fond of rose wine on a warm Sunday afternoon.
Rose is pink in color, and should [...]]]></description>

It may be the best vinegar I ever tried. It&#8217;s called Allure Estates Balsamic Vinegar.  Then a light bulb went off in my head. Why do we always discuss [...]]]></description>

I have friends that can&#8217;t wait for ramps. Others enjoy the freshness of peas. Artichokes are a huge crop in Santa Barbara from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Syrah is my favorite varietal in Santa Barbara County, and I found another winner. It&#8217;s easy to find great wines that cost over $40 a bottle; but when you find a delicious wine at $21 that&#8217;s a home run.
This wine is a big meaty Syrah with plenty of fruit and a strong backbone. This deep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love pork. Whether it&#8217;s a chop, a rack of ribs, bacon, sausage, or lardo on my pizza&#8230;I eat it all.
