Posted on July 19, 2018 by A Famished Foodie

Not too long ago I was contacted by Snooth to participate in a virtual tasting. A week after that, five wines from Murrieta’s Well showed up on my doorstep to be tasted on July 10th.

Feeling the Greatest in Las Vegas

Posted on January 11, 2017 by A Famished Foodie
