05/21  DANDY DON ICE CREAM, ROOTSTOCK CELLARS, CONSUMER TRAVEL!

 The Nation's Premiere Food, Wine, Travel 
& Entertainment Show!


"DANDY" DON WHITTEMORE 
 
Our most popular ice cream social includes a 4-foot red & white portable ice cream stand stocked with 100 scoops of ice cream (usually Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Cappuccino Crunch, Non-fat Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, and Raspberry Sorbet). A second 4-foot table holds our Top 20 Toppings. The party usually lasts an hour hosted by one gracious server. This party in Beverly Hills or Hollywood costs about $700.  If it’s located in downtown L.A, or Camarillo, it runs about $720. For Orange County, figure around $855. Of course your party might need a different number of sundaes and/or toppings, plus a longer or shorter serving time. There are other wonderful options. 
 
 
LAURA MOHSENI - ROOTSTOCK CELLARS 

Get Grillin'! It's a perfect time of year for Cheeseburger Red.  Almost four decades ago, our family entered the wine and importing business. Subsequent generations have followed  suit. With experience in winemaking, sales, distribution,  and everything in between, we are Rootstock Cellars. We make unpretentious wines that are easy to drink. Because sometimes you just want to pop a cork and not think too hard about it. Find the wine in your state on our .  This wine was inspired by the illustrious cheeseburger.  It's the all American food that's simple yet inspiring, full of flavor, and a symbol of summertime, grilling, and family. We were introduced to "Cheeseburger Sunday" by Jack, a family friend, and we adopted that tradition 20 years ago. After all, shouldn't cheeseburgers have a specific day of the week devoted to them? The burgers are thick and juicy, cooked over a white oak wood fire, with a huge piece of cheddar cheese melted right on top. The signature touch is a Toasted English muffin instead of a bun. The wine was created to team up with this great invention, and is smooth and jammy, bursting with red fruit that so  perfectly complements a slight char. The tannins are assertive, but won't knock you off your chair. And yes,  pair  it up with any kinds of grilled foods; you'll get the point.
