Sonoma Valley Wine Country: Explore Premium California Wines

While Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley are next-door neighbors in the heart of premium California wine country, a visit and wine tasting tour shows contrasting styles, experiences and wines to enjoy.
Napa wineries are easily accessible. From the south to the north most of the wineries are located on a grid bordered by Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail. Your visit to Sonoma Valley is more of an adventure requiring the use of Google Maps, and better yet, a good old-fashioned printed Sonoma Valley winery map. For Robin’s annual December birthday vacation, we dove into the “adventure” of a visit to Sonoma Valley.
Sonoma Valley is much more laid back than Napa Valley—$1,000/night rooms and acres of resort facilities are not part of the culture. For me, that’s a good thing. Michelin star or wannabe star restaurants and $400 dinners for two are for Napa, not Sonoma.
The advantage of a late December visit is less traffic and reduced crowds at the wineries. These days it is always best to schedule appointments for everything from a tasting to a complete wine and food pairing at some wineries. With the generous help of Amy Patrick at Sonoma County Vintners, we scheduled visits to wineries in the Russian River Valley all the way up north to the Alexander Valley, enjoying beautiful road trips from Sonoma to Healdsburg to Santa Rosa. We visited the heart of their Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel country.
The goal of our trip was to enjoy great wine, hence no restaurant reviews. On the other hand, our wine and food pairings were the most memorable highlight of our trip. Maybe next time we’ll visit Paso Robles wine country for more great wine, lots of driving and exploring. Cheers!!

Mizel Estate Wines: Bringing the Unexpected to Life

On a gorgeous afternoon, you stroll through a stunning vineyard surrounded by mountains and vast blue sky as far as the eye can see. Afterward, relaxing at a lovely table set among the vines, you savor a flight of luscious, velvety red wines. You’ve just experienced the unexpected magic of Mizel Estate Wines, nestled in the heart of Thousand Oaks’ Hidden Valley, just 25 miles north of Los Angeles.
Estate-Grown Perfection
The name “Mizel” is a blend of the names of the owners, Michael and Zelene Fowler, who established the vineyard in 2014 with the goal of creating world-class wines.
Mizel Estate Wines are grown on their 38-acre estate in the Malibu Coast AVA (American Viticultural Area). The geography of Mizel Estate, located on a fertile valley floor protected by mountains, provides ideal growing conditions for exceptional fruit.
When you taste Mizel’s fine wines, you drink in the pure expression of their vineyard.
“The real secret to Mizel’s superb red wines is the ground they come from,” says Mizel’s Winemaker, Guillaume Fabre. “The soil brings the tannin structure and creates a certain elegance that is so difficult to find—and impossible to add.”
Mizel invites you to join in their sense of wonder while supporting their vision to help others achieve their dreams.

Eat, Drink, and be Merry....Then Do It Again!

Why not? Who knows what tomorrow may bring. If the food is good, the style of cuisine to your liking, the wine and libation list creatively priced within reason, then there is no better time to support your local restaurant, wine bar or brew pub. As we emerged from the dark days of 2020 to 2021 the quality and service in restaurants has returned to whatever was “normal” for those that survived the pandemic (it wasn’t easy!).

While prices are higher due to inflation, the smart customer- and community-focused restaurants have kept the tab at the end of a date night for two somewhat under control. A creative way of doing that has been to increase the size of a portion so their patrons can share. Since Robin is an expert at “sharing,” this has made her very happy. Besides……even I am willing to share an 18-oz Kansas City Strip Steak on the menu of the new and quite excellent Old Oaks Steak House in Thousand Oaks. As a result, their $80 steak really becomes a $40 steak. Since it is aged premium beef, once we add in shared sides, that’s plenty of food. Our first visit was somewhat, “new restaurant not quite ready for prime time.” We gave it another shot and were very pleased. As you enter, the wine wall built by Scott Berry’s Cellar Masters is stunning.

We enjoyed a remarkably good food- and wine-pairing experience at Marcello Ristorante. The carefully chosen Italian wines paired perfectly with excellent eggplant parmesan, marinated shrimp and the rest of a multicourse small bites dinner.

Last but certainly not least…wine! The best wine bar/winery in the Conejo is and has been for many years, NABU Wines. I have been begging Greg Barnett to submit his Napa, Malibu and now Mendocino and Paso Robles wines into competition. He is now knocking the ball out of the park with multi medals from state fairs and wine events throughout SoCal. The reds are superior wines that can also be aged. The Alberino, a not too well-known Spanish varietal, is a star.

Last, but not least, take a look at our Sonoma wine country trip. More on that inside this issue.

Sounds of the Future: Hearing Health in the AI Age

Audiology is undergoing a quiet revolution—where healthcare and cutting-edge technology are converging to not only improve how we hear, but how we live. For decades, hearing aids were seen as simple amplifiers, designed to make everything louder for those with hearing loss. But hearing is about more than volume. Untreated hearing loss is now linked to a range of serious health concerns, including dementia, depression, social isolation and balance problems.

As our understanding of hearing health deepens, the tools we use to protect it are evolving. One of the most transformative developments in recent years is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into hearing devices. Modern AI-powered hearing aids do more than amplify sound—they learn from the wearer’s environment and adjust automatically in real time. Whether someone is in a noisy restaurant or a quiet living room, AI can distinguish between speech and background noise, reducing listening fatigue and making communication easier and more natural.

Dr. Roya Razin is an audiologist at Conejo Hearing Center, specializing in the intervention and treatment of tinnitus, as well as aural rehabilitation and the use of advanced hearing technologies. Conejo Hearing Center is located at 699 Hampshire Road, Suite 215 in Westlake Village. For more information, call 818.991.3800 or visit ConejoHearingCenter.com.

Style That Speaks: Wear What Reflects YOU & Meet Yourself in Every Style

Style isn’t about what the magazines say or what the trends dictate—it’s about how you feel when you walk out the door. Your style should speak before you even say a word. It’s a reflection of your personality, confidence and spirit.

As a radio host and business mentor, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when someone walks into a room owning their look. And not just in business—but in life. Whether I’m hosting one of my mixers or just grabbing coffee, I want what I wear to reflect who I am: bold, warm and ready to connect.

For me, that means embracing color—hello, hot pink!—a little sparkle and clothes that make me feel alive. I’m not only dressing to impress; I’m dressing to express. Whether it’s a blazer that makes me feel sharp or a comfy dress that flows with my energy, it’s all about alignment. Style should never feel like a costume. It should feel like coming home to yourself.

You don’t need a closet full of designer labels to look amazing. Some of my favorite outfits are a mix of high-low pieces that simply make me feel good. And guess what? That confidence shows.
