I think I've found my new favorite spot in South Lake Tahoe! As I walked through the front gate of the Revive Coffee & Wine, I instantly felt at home as the decor both inside and out matched my pinterest boards and crafty endeavors and the smiling and friendly staff was more than welcoming.

Revive Coffee & Wine is a new South Lake Tahoe business inside the old Pichetti Winery at 3135 Harrison Avenue, sharing the space with South Tahoe Standup Paddle.

Nevada Highway Patrol troopers responded to an early morning accident on Wednesday just south of Glenbrook on Lake Tahoe's Highway 50.
