CPK Partnership With Colby Red


A few days ago, California Pizza Kitchen announced their partnership with Colby Red, a red wine whose proceeds support charities that promote heart health.  Colby Red is specifically a California cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Shiraz, & Zinfandel.  This sounds like a wonderful blend and definitely good for the heart!


This wine was inspired by Colby Groom who endured two back to back heart surgeries as a child.  He enlisted his father, a winemaker, to create a wine that raises money to help others. To hear more about this story, check out this YouTube video.  After watching this video I was moved:


CPK will serve Colby Red on their menu (by the glass and bottle) at all their locations through the end of April. Also CPK has also pledged to donate up to $10,000 to charities focused on heart health this year (very nice!).

In other news, CPK's Valentine's Day menu will be available for four days from 2/14 through 2/17. This menu for two includes an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert for $30.  It would sound nice to accompany that Valentine's Day meal (or any meal) with a glass of Colby Red!

Herbs & Rye

After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !
