Mendocino California is one of my favorite "hidden gems" in the California wine scene. Geographically it exists just above Sonoma to the point where it is "just out of reach" for all but the most determined wine drinkers, yet it has some of California's best vineyards. ETTORE is one of the newest wineries in the region, having just launched it's first two vintages earlier this year and they have now introduced Merlot Zero.

The other day I was wandering around my local grocery store trying to figure out what to buy for lunch. I was hungry and creative - a combo that tends to be expensive for me. As I wandered through the sauce aisle I realized that nearly every time I buy a bottled sauce I'm disappointed in the flavor, thickness, etc. So I thought to myself, "why can't I make a sauce that matches exactly what I love?" While this sauce ended up turning out great and was ultimately "wife approved", sometimes the journey of creation is exciting in itself. You can always learn from your mistakes, adjust the proportions and make things distinctly YOURS!

Laws and regulations around cannabis continue to change almost as fast as innovation new new products are being brought to the market. That's one of the exciting things that fascinates me about this industry. There are some incredible personalities and regardless if you are a consumer seeking pain relieve, alleviation of certain medical symptoms, or simply wanting to kick back and enjoy a good buzz on a Saturday night, this is an industry that deserves the same attention as distilleries, vineyards, and breweries.
