Sonoma in the City

(Nov.05.09)
The other night the lovely people at Praxis PR invited me to Sonoma in the City, a wine-tasting event. I didn't have to ask twice to get my husband to be my date. Always up for a challenge, we decided to swirl, sniff and sip our way through the room until we found our favourite Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in these two categories: impress-your-friends and enjoy-it-everyday.
