Other days, it’s sunny and exceptionally humid as tropical storms move up from Mexico. Still others, we are getting overcast, humidity, rain, thunderstorms and weather that makes one want to put on a hoodie. it’s definitely NOT typical California summer weather — especially for August!
As summer heats up, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi suggests battling rising temperatures with homemade wine-infused popsicles.
