Welcome to Tales of the Cork. The vision of this blog is two-fold: 1) Introduce followers to inspiring stories as told by chefs, winemakers, sommeliers, and wine merchants in California and Burgundy, France. These tales are not meant to boast of their accomplishments but to share behind-the-scenes accounts of their journeys, both struggles and triumphs. 2) To provide travel tips, plans and opportunities for culinary food and wine adventures from California, including Paso Robles to Santa Barbara, and Burgundy, France.
At first, I will update the blog with bi-weekly posts on Tuesdays, beginning July 10, and Fridays, starting July 13, 2012. The vision is to move this to a five-time per week communication in the months to come. Future plans are to include Oregon wines and gastronomers as well as expanding into other regions of France. Tales of the Cork also welcomes comments, emails, tweets and suggestions for future stories and culinary adventures. Thanks for visiting Tales of the Cork; I look forward to sharing wine, food and travel experiences with you. Greg D. Stobbe |
