Wine it’s simply crushed and fermented grapes. At Crushed Grape Chronicles we explore the variations, the stories behind the vines, all of this makes it so fascinating. I love that we talk about wine breathing…it is a reminder that wine is alive and changing.
Perhaps even more important than any of this is the story of the winery, the winemaker and the people who love these wines, their philosophies and the different ways they bring their reverence to the grape.
Produced by 42 Aspens Productions, In Association with Crushed Grape Chronicles , we have created an 8 episode Season running August 2nd thru Sept 20th. This Series will appear on our Crushed Grape Chronicles Youtube Channel.
Our wine video series, wine podcasts, wine and food pairings recipes, follows Crushed Grape Chronicles as we talk with Winemakers, grape growers and farmers. We explore the different wine regions, wine AVAs, taking in the local culinary food and wine pairings. We explore the “Scenic Route” along the way stopping, literally, smelling the roses and seeing the sights.
Wine is the story of a year in a place, that is captured in a bottle
Inspired by the flavors and aromas in wines, this book creates “tempting spoonfuls” of flavors to pair with wines.
Robin has always had a love for spoons, with a drawer full of them in all different shapes and sizes. There is comfort in eating something from a spoon and something very sensual also.
Creating a spoon filled with flavors and aromas that will be eaten in a single bite, allowing the flavors to meld and pop in your mouth, is a joyful endeavor, and you are encouraged to make these your own.
The spoons range from savory to sweet, with something for everyone, and while they are paired with wines, they are delicious on their own.
These recipes are wonderful for appetizers and hors d’oeuvres or simple to create something delicious to spoil yourself, much like a pint of ice cream.
Each of these spoons is paired with a specific wine, and you get a bit of background on the wine, its flavors, aromas, and a bit of its story. She also includes other suggestions for wines to pair with the spoon.
The book is a feast for your eyes, with photos of each layered spoonful.
There are also photos of the wines with the elements of their flavor profile surrounding them. Those elements often inspire the pairing.
The goal is to make your mouth water and encourage you to create your own “Tempting Spoonfuls.”
This second book in the “Tempting Spoonfuls” series takes us on a global adventure, finding wines from 12 of the world’s wine regions.
The book contains 12 recipes for creating appetizer spoons, perfect for parties. Each recipe pairs with a wine from one of the wine regions.
Beginning in New Zealand and Australia, west to South Africa before several stops in Europe. There are stops in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Germany, before crossing the Atlantic to see Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. The final stop is the United States in California.
We discover a bit about each country and a wine that you might find there.
The book is lush with photos of the ingredients and final spoons. It is a feast for the eyes that will inspire you to pick up a bottle of wine (or two) and create some of these pairings for friends or family.

Explore the places behind the wine. The Vineyards, The Tasting Rooms, The Winery’s and the Regions where wine is Grown, Enjoyed and Experienced
Making wine and growing grapes can be done in many ways. Each vineyard, each winery, each winemaker may choose a different way, or a different mix of philosophies.
Here in “The Philosophies” we will explore the many and varied methods that vineyards and wineries use, which make so many wonderful and unique wines all over the globe.
Our Wine Video Series will explore the stories behind the Vines. We will speak with Vineyard Owners, Winemakers, Vineyard Managers… the people behind the wine to get their stories, passions and philosophies on wine.
Criss Crossing Wine Country and tasting Wine from many different regions, we are also learning what goes well with the wine along the way. Food & Wine are an integral symbiotic arrangement especially pairing local food with Local Wine. This in some cases is what enhances the overall experience.
As we Chronicle our Wine Country Adventures, we have compiled a growing library of Videos, documenting Wine Travel, Wine Conversations, and Wine Stories.
Join Crushed Grape Chronicles as we Explore Wine Country across the United States and the Globe.
The variations in wine are beyond comprehension.
And the stories behind the wines are as lush and beautiful
as the wines themselves.
Our goal at Crushed Grape Chronicles
is to explore and chronicle the grape
it’s many stories and it’s journey from dirt to glass.
Join the Adventure!
