Greetings from gorgeous Napa Valley! This morning I had so much fun guest starring on Martha Stewart Living Radio, live from The Napa Valley Mustard Festival! This festival celebrates amazing wines, delicious food, and beautiful art. I can’t tell you how fabulous it is up here! I had an absolute ball chatting with host Mario Bosquez about my favorite wine party tips. Here is some fun wine trivia that came up during the show. Enjoy! I’m off to go wine tasting and enjoy this gorgeous weekend!
