I finally finished my fictionalize but authentic WW2 two-book series Moving Like Fish In the Sea, about the nearly forgotten heroics of Walter McKay Cushing, the intrepid father of guerrilla resistance against the Japanese in Luzon, Philippines, posthumously awarded U.S second highest medal for valor, the distinguished service cross. An American gold miner, Cushing came to the Philippines for opportunity after the second largest gold strike there in American history. Having to destroy his life's greatest endeavor the Rainbow Mine, on orders from the U.S. military--leave nothing for the enemy--left him outraged and enraged. With his dreams of opportunity shattered, his immediate instinct was to fight back. His fiery personality, reckless courage, and unfailing panache made an indelible impression on friend and foe alike.

These people are so dumb! Michigan’s 2020 presidential election, six people facing forgery and other charges for allegedly serving as false electors with a faked Certificate of Votes. It didn't match an official document signed by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and featuring the Michigan state seal. No seal!

Canino Ridge has been on a bit of a hiatus. We expect to come out hibernation late this fall with a release of our own blend of olive oil. The primary trick to good quality oil is the time at which you pick the olives. They should be just turning from green to dark, often a light, straw green with hints of purple. The modern press, no longer oxen turning a stone wheel, also has a lot to do with quality. I call it the Phoenix release, the first since the Clayton fire of 2017 burned through the olive grove. Will post later about availability.

I appreciate the interest from all whom have visited this site. I wanted to use this site as part of my business to generate interest in my olive oil and provide some educational information about the flavor and beneficial qualities of olive oil. However my olive orchard was nearly destroyed in a wild fire in 2016 and I am temporarily out of business.

Olive Oil flavor Profiles. The following is an example of olive oil flavor profiles plotted for four different varieties of olives: Leccino, Canino, Taggiasca, and unknown. The four main flavor profiles are fruity, bitter, pungent and sweet,
and this chart is used to plot the degrees of these flavors for each variety. People are often amazed at what a wide range of natural flavors there are to Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO).

Olive Grove and Vineyard

Canino Ridge, in Lake County, California, is named after our 130 year old grove of Canino and Bouteillan Olive trees, from which we produce an old-world blend of award winning extra virgin olive oil. We own 53 acres of rural land, which also includes a 7 acre Petite Sirah vineyard and my latest business, an olive tree nursery featuring varietals suitable for Northern California.
