Cocktails, Wine, Drinks
Toast to Moms of All Ages with Holman Ranch Wines! Red or White, Mom’s Sure to Love Something!
May 12, 2013 | 
Author It’s Mother’s Day and if you have been reading this blog that’s ALL I have been writing about. Now here’s something that works for moms, dads, grads, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries.

I started with wines before I went into spirits and I was in Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast quite a bit.

I adore everything on Robert Lambert’s catalog website. With such fabulous artisanal — read he makes it by hand– it’s hard to figure out sometimes what to do beyond the mundane (Marmalade on toast or on ice cream: chocolate sauce on ice cream cake or between a couple of sugar cookies) I happened to mention to Robert Lambert that I wanted to create some recipes for some of the new products and he indicated that he had come up with some delish recipes. So I am sharing them here. This gives you advance notice for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day and any other celebrations– including no reason at all except you have lovely weather.
