PHINNEY and FRIENDS
Wine Spectator|June 30, 2022
Dave Phinney has plenty of interests beyond wine. He expresses them through a multitude of business ventures united by his creative drive. With a lot of the projects, he explains, "there's either a personal connection to me, or somebody does work that I admire.”
PHINNEY and FRIENDS

Each project seems to springboard him to another. After spending so much time in Vallejo and developing Mare Island there, he ended up owning the Vallejo Admirals, an independent professional baseball team. A plot of his land needed some walnut trees cleared now he's aging the wood to put into a high-end shotgun project. Another piece of land led to raising cattle-he's feeding them grape pomace, to see how it can affect the taste of the meat, and looking into artisanal leather crafting. Phinney also shines in these creative collaborations.

Blanchard's Fried Chicken

With his sell-out fried chicken pop-ups on Fridays in Napa, master sommelier Chris Blanchard made his mark with fried chicken in 2017. Blanchard takes his inspiration from the famous New Orleans Dooky Chase's Restaurant, perfecting a recipe that matches the soulfulness of his muse.

Now Blanchard's menu and recipes-including fried chicken sandwiches and traditional Southern sides-are available within the Savage & Cooke distillery. "Fried chicken and whisky are a natural pairing," says Savage & Cooke general manager (and wife of the fried chicken master) Lauren Blanchard.

The eatery includes a full bar, offering a range of spirits alongside Savage & Cooke pours and inspired craft cocktails.

New Zealand's Success Story - From small beginnings, the country's wines have ascended to global prominence

Since then, New Zealand has become one of the world’s most successful wine nations. Currently there are 102,000 acres planted, and 40 million cases were sold in 2023, according to the New Zealand Winegrowers. The tiny country produces less than 2% of the global wine supply, but it’s the world’s sixth-largest exporter of wine by value. Another thing that’s evolved? The image of corks no longer applies, as most vintners there eschew cork (only about 15% of the wines we review still use the closure).

Wine Is Healthiest Choice for Drinkers - Decades of research has linked light to moderate drinking, especially of wine, to a range of health benefits.

There’s also strong evidence that alcohol consumption raises the risk of certain cancers and that heavy drinking carries serious health risks. But the reasons why moderate drinking seems to be neutral or beneficial for some people and harmful for others remains a mystery.A new study sought to solve that puzzle. Looking at health and lifestyle information for a large population, the researchers found that while any alcohol posed risks for adults with existing health problems from poorer areas, healthy adults from wealthier areas suffered no additional risks from moderate drinking, and those who drink wine with food even enjoyed better health.

Restaurant Awards- Lazy Bear- Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it's so much more.

Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it’s so much more. This Mission District restaurant effortlessly strips away the formality of a multicourse dinner and replaces it with conviviality, nostalgia and curiosity. With reverence for time and place, Lazy Bear is an ode to California where guests dine in concert with the season and can explore diverse wines, including an impressive collection of older California vintages.
