wine and candy, ready for tasting

The Grape Nut, Betsey Nash, is nuts about wine, and she’s fascinated by the art of pairing it with food. It’s time for a seasonal pairing- no, not turkey and Pinot- this time it’s wine with leftover Halloween candy. She joins Ivy Thompson at Region wine bar in SLO for some fun.

Betsey moved from Burbank to the central coast to attend Poly in January of '69, only to be greeted by a horse tied to a tree in front of the English building. "Oh no, what have I done!": Her culture shock didn't end there: there were vacant lots between the houses! People drove on the beach! And, oh look at those gorgeous green hills! A tradition that she and her roommates embraced was started when their Morro Bay neighbors brought a couple dozen chocolate chip cookies and a jug of Pesenti Zinfandel Rose over to help them get through mid-terms and finals weeks. The place became home.
