Redwood Creek Wines



Redwood Creek Winery - well it's very reasonably priced ($2.00 with coupon ;) and it turns out the Brad's display was the largest in the USA so I felt that the winery deserved a little credit on the blog!

Good job Bradford on the kayak and 120 cases!

Steaks... and Steak House Cab


Friday was a fun night since we stayed home and enjoyed a great steak & a bottle of Steak House Cab! Later, we went to our neighbor's house for a little mingling and to celebrate their son's 3rd birthday!

Four Peaks Brewing Company


This place deserves to be on the wine blog because the beer that they craft is amazing. We met Cris and Panos for happy hour and enjoyed some...

Kilt Lifter® Scottish-Style Ale
Our award-winning Flagship ale is now in bottles!! This is an ale made in the tradition of the great strong ales of Scotland. Amber colored, malty sweet with underlying note of smokiness. Alcohol content approximately 6.0% by volume (ALWAYS ON TAP!!)

8th Street Ale®
Now In Bottles!! Our award winning 8th Street Ale is based on an English-style "Best Bitter" which is the most common ale served in British pubs. What makes 8th Street Ale uncommon is its mellow bitterness and its slightly sweet malt flavor. It's aroma is derived from rare, imported Kentish hops, and lots of them.Alcohol content approximately 4.5% by volume (ALWAYS ON TAP!!)

Arizona Peach
The dominating character of this beer is of course peach flavor and aroma. It is a little more subtle than most fruit beers which makes it more approachable. Light in body and color.
Alcohol content of approximately 4.0% by volume (ALWAYS ON TAP!!)

Pumpkin Port
While all of these beers have won numerous awards and taste very special...now we wait for the Pumpkin Porter Our tasty Porter with subtle pumpkin and spice flavors. Available every Halloween... yum!

2005 Kenwood Cabernet


Last night we opened a bottle of the Kenwood Cabernet after a couple suggestions from Brad's wine reps.

It was a great bottle and we enjoyed it with grilled NY Strip Steaks, Au Gratin Potatoes & green beans.

This wine was also has a little merlot in it and is from Sonoma County.
