March Food Events Calendar
|
 March is what I call a "swing" month. Although some states are seeing lovely flowers and mild temperatures, others are still experiencing winter weather. And what a winter this has been. But it is time to be rid of the winter doldrums and get out of the house. Become more active, it's good for you. Below you will find a sampling of March food events in various states across the U.S. Follow the links for more information about each of these events. 36th Annual Barrel Tasting Wine Road - Northern Sonoma County, California 100+ Wineries! Two Weekends: Feb 28-Mar 2 & March 7-9. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. Many wineries offer "futures" on their barrel samples, your chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically in 12-18 months.

Sally's Recommendations
|
 The Aermate injects "microbubbles" into a glass or bottle -- a superior method to letting wine breathe for an extended period of time. It works on all red and white wines, as well as fine liquor and spirits such as scotch, bourbon and tequila. The Aermate is designed to aerate an entire bottle or single glass in seconds. It has been shown to improve the taste of wine, awaken its natural aroma, and enhance its drinkability. It reduces tannins, acidity and sulfites. $39.95 For more information, click here.
 Lillie Belle Farms is in Southern Oregon. Their exotic caramels, luxury truffles, and "Bean to Bar" chocolate bars are made with organic chocolate. They have been pleasing chocolate lovers for over ten years and Lillie Belle Farms has been chosen as one of America's Top 10 Chocolatiers. For information, click here.
