We’ve just received word that the 2nd Annual Sacramento Wine & Dine is just around the corner. What does this mean? It’s your opportunity to dine in the ‘who’s who’ of Sacramento restaurants, each with a special discounted prix fixe Wine & Dine menu (with wine pairings to boot!). The event runs this Saturday, June 7 through Saturday, June 14.

For the Love of Zin
The sunny Lodi winegrowing region is known for its production of Old Vine Zinfandel – a jammy wine that pairs well with spicy, grilled summer meats and vegetables. This year’s annual ZinFest Wine Festival featured 50 Lodi wineries, 100 degree temperatures and a relaxed atmosphere.
Two of our favorites wineries were most certainly pouring – D’Art and Macchia. Dave and Helen Dart make one of our favorite Lodi wines – an award-winning rich and full-flavored Tempranillo, and Macchia’s Zins never let us down.
Wine lovers had the opportunity to sample many Lodi wines, enjoy live music and even attend a wine and cooking school.
The heat didn’t keep the crowds away, but it sure was nice to kick back and enjoy a ride around the lake back to the parking lot.
If you’ve never been, mark your calendars for next year’s Lodi ZinFest and just maybe it won’t be quite as hot.

Champagne Campaign
With everything that’s going on today surrounding the race for the White House, fellow SacFoodie Julie Ficker and I were thrilled to learn about a new campaign in town – the Champagne Campaign!
Thanks to BiteClub.com, we heard that R15 hosts the Champagne Campaign every Tuesday night starting at 9:00 PM at which time bottles of champagne are only $5 with a group of three or more.
The evening turned out to be a success – with delicious and affordable champagne, great company and a competitive game of pool to boot.
The Champagne Campaign definitely gets my vote!
