Eat Drink Cook

Eat Drink Cook: a life-journal from a Napa Valley dad, wine expert and enthusiastic cook. At Eat Drink Cook you’ll get your fill of food and wine tips, recipes, pairings and event shout-outs. Weaving through the familiar for my long-time readers is the personal side: dad of Talia the almost-teenager, husband, shopper, concerned citizen, a regular guy with the joys & worries, celebrations & failures most of us feel.
