From My Pantry To Yours: A Wine Country GIVEAWAY
August 26, 2009
Every now and then I write up a feature of some to the best places to visit in Northern California’s Wine Country. Autumn is near, and the leaves are beginning to change. The colors are so beautiful from September through November.
When I visit my favorite wineries, I always pick up some special savory treats to give as hostess gifts. In honor of reaching over 1,000 followers, and in anticipation of the new website design, it’s my turn to sponsor a giveaway. It’s a basket of goodies hand selected by me.
Take a peek:
From our latest visit to Ledson and Chateau St. Jean:

Ledson Winery’s Merlot Chocolate Wine Fudge, made with California Merlot and Belgian chocolate. Delicious with crepes, ice cream, or drizzled over strawberries. Chateau St. Jean’s Champagne Mustard, wonderful in sauces or paired with meats.
My absolute most favorite fig balsamic vinegar by the famous girl and the fig restaurant in Sonoma. Take a peek at this recipe with strawberries. Yum.
Chateau St. Jean’s Riesling Vinegar, so perfect for mixing the best salad dressings.
From my last visit to Domaine Carneros, two soaps from the Napa Soap Company. Soapignon Blanc is a blend of grapeseed, avocado, and sunflower oils that smells delightfully of grapefruit and pomegranate. Classic Lavender with shea butter and sweet almond oils, scented with lavender essential oil. Both handmade in Napa Valley.
A charming striped jute wine or sparkling water tote, made by Art of Wine, together with 101 Essential Tips on Wine.
From my pantry to one of yours.
I have to take a few days off to get organized for fall, and plan my ten year anniversary. I am also spending a ton of hours with my site designer in the next few days. Fingers crossed, the new and improved Centsational Girl will be up by Monday morning !
