Fireside Tales With The Setting Wines —

The best part about drinking wine is the setting in which you enjoy it.

An open fire pit cracks and snaps, sending glowing embers and the aroma of fiery food wafting through the air. Delicate florals invite guests to take a seat at the table filled with family and friends. As the long day wanes, chatter ensues, setting the senses to prepare for supper. Glasses of Napa Valley Cabernet, Alexander Valley Cabernet and barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc from The Setting Wines fill the scene.

Colby Red: The Wine That's Winning Hearts

Colby Groom was born with a congenital heart disease and was still an infant when doctors detected his heart murmur. By the time he reached his 10th birthday, Colby, now 20, had already undergone two open-heart surgeries to repair a faulty valve. It was this experience that inspired him to launch Colby Red wine with his father, eight-time Winemaker of the Year Daryl Groom. Together, they’ve raised close to $1.5 million for heart charities with the hope of preventing other children from having to

Culinary Acculturation Through Pop-Up Dining and 23andMe

“You might not be as Hungarian as you think you are.” These are the words that started the journey of exploring not only my cultural identity, but also the effects that genetic testing has on my ability to make more informed decisions about my health.

Of all the single ingredients to admire, few inspire complete subservience like the just-picked heirloom tomato that’s still warm from the fiery rapture of summer — indeed, a work of art by Mother Nature.

Ojai Pixie Tangerines: Your New Main Squeeze This Spring

Swift and erratic Santa Ana winds arrived in Southern California on December 4th—not unusual for the region— but this time, they would make history as they sparked record-breaking fires. In the Ojai Valley, the red glow of fire replaced the postcard-pink sunsets. As many of the town’s residents packed their belongings to evacuate, others prepared to save their farms. Power and radio antennae went down, making news and updates hard to come by for those that remained. In a matter of hours, the fire
