Al, Allison and Eric (GM at Villa Creek) all passed successfully the Introductory Course of the Court of Sommeliers. A minimum of three years in the wine/service industry was strongly recommended for the Introductory Course.
The girls are now getting ready for their Certified Exam.
Entrance into the Advanced Course is via a selection process of the Court of Master Sommelier’s academic admissions committee. You must have passed the Introductory and Certified Exams and have a mandatory five years minimum experience in the wine/service industry.
The M.S. Diploma Exam is by invitation only after successful completion of the Advanced Course


Wow! What a great review we got from the editor at Wine Region News!
Here is how it starts….”Light rain falling outside 15 Degrees C Wine Shop and Bar in Templeton on Friday made the interior feel cozy, especially with the soft lights reflecting off the wine glasses that were lined on the long table. From the first glass of Champagne to the last spoonful of Crème Brulee, owners Allison Dominguez and Ali Rush Carscaden again display good taste, warm hospitality and a fine business sense….”
Thanks and looking forward to have you again soon!

Look! We’re on TV!
the zork!
the zork is the new, all-the-rave patent wine cork that combines the flexibility and ease of twist off caps with the traditional cork top.
the zork wine cap helps reduce oxidization caused by the traditional cork seal and since cork trees have become endangered the zork is a great alternative for the eco-minded wino… not to mention the zork is re-usable so there is no need to buy those other wine stoppers–just use the one that came with your bottle!
