Ever since our Southern California group from the International Food Wine & Travel Writers Association visited the charming college and

creative culinary town of Claremont, California, I have returned for the food and wine.

The Sunday Packing House Wine annual Pig and Pinot dinner promises to be fantastic. It is worth a special trip to buy the hard – to – get varieties I can’t find anywhere else.

Please try to book a reservation soon if you are lucky enough to participate. Packing House is usually packed.
