Discovering a favorite go-to sushi spot is often difficult, but at least it’s fun trying. After a number of failed experiences in our new-ish town here in California, my husband and I found something special and now, have been frequenting an always busy sushi restaurant that is consistently delicious. As much as I attempt to choose different menu items, I always include one favorite: Crunchy Sushi Roll.

About a year ago, I tasted for the first time, five wines from the Victoria region of Australia during an online chat with their producers and other wine writers.
