We will be holding the second COOKING WITH CHRISTIAN session at Crystal Basin Cellars on Sunday, June 17th (yes, it's also Father's Day!) from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The theme for this class is a PROVENCE "Pique Nique" These are do ahead recipes to make a wonderful gourmet meal for a hike, family reunion, bike ride or wine tasting. The three course menu will be demonstrated as you sip Crystal Basin Cellars wine. After the demonstrations you will be served a sample plate of all the recipes for you to enjoy with the corresponding wines. The price is a great value at $35.00. In addition, Matricia always puts together a great package of wines for sale that day (nice gift for dad!) . For more information and reservations contact .

Monday's deluge ? Venice's biggest in 22 years ? may help wash away remaining resistance to an elaborate project to build mobile barriers that will prevent future flooding here.
A 30-mile scar of debris along the Texas coast stands as a festering testament to what state and local officials say is FEMA's sluggish response to the 2008 hurricane season.
Residents and tourists in Venice waded through knee-deep water Monday as they navigated the city's narrow streets and alleys, and its historic St. Mark's Square was inundated.
In New Orleans, a warning to flee emptied the city before Hurricane Gustav in early September. In Houston, a plea to "hunker down" might have kept evacuation routes from clogging before Hurricane Ike struck.
