A Tasty Little Blog is Born

Welcome to my first official foray into cyberspace! We have one woman to thank...my sister, Tanya. This is, of course, a work in progress and open to suggestions and input from everyone reading. From all of the new culinary and wine information out there, I hope to pick out the gems and condense them into a fun and informative blog for anyone who is interested.

Perhaps you want to know a little more about your blogger?
I was born in Rochester, MN, grew up in Stewartville, and finished my nursing degree at UW Eau Claire. I worked for 6 years as a hematology/oncology/BMT nurse. After much soul searching and plenty of encouragement from my amazing husband, Nelson, I left nursing to attend culinary school. I also catered during this time and really began studying wine. While training with Vincent Francoul at Vincent's - A Restaurant, the Wongs building became available, and as they say, "the rest is history."

I will use this forum to introduce wines and drink creations, cool cheeses, let you know about our upcoming events, and just keep you in the Sontes "loop." We have been truly honored by all of the support from our fantastic guests who encourage us to keep trying new things. We love your suggestions about food and wine as well as your experience and stories from your travels and different backgrounds. Keep that all coming and we'll evolve the tastes of Rochester together!

Love the new website! And you're blogging! Dang! I have to make some time to come down soon. Everything looks so great and your pink little Chef is still pumping out some amazing menu items. I can't wait to see the place again. You are the coolest! Take care!
