And Loving It… Seasoned travel and food writers sometimes tend to disparage cruise line food and meals, usually comparing them to being barely better than hotel convention and buffet food, a take that I vehemently disagree with. Believe me, I've had enough rubber chicken dinner meals and awful buffets to know the difference. I think [...]
Smokin Barbeque... Barbeque. All I have to do is imagine the taste or see a pic of all that lovely, glazed meat and I start to salivate. It is one of the most underrated cuisines and it's always kind of bothered me it doesn't get the respect it deserves. And don't get me started on [...]
Check Out Biale... Andrew & David Zin! Zin! Zin! When I first started getting into wine tastings and events, I loved those big, bold, high alcohol, tannic wines (still do). So when I was at my first San Diego Wine Festival (many moons ago, don't remind me, ha ha) was there like a shot when [...]
At the SOBEWFF… One of the best food and wine festivals is just around the corner, the 22nd annual SOBEWFF hits the South Beach shores, restaurants and venues Feb 22-25. And the best event representing Napa is Peter Mondavi Jr's tasting event on Sat Feb 24 at 4 pm at the Eden Roc in Miami [...]
Inside and Out... Have always been a big fan of Rodney Strong’s chardonnays. Know it’s not fashionable nowadays to love butter, oak and alcohol, but combined the right way, which Rodney Strong's chards inevitably are, I Iove having a few thru the summer and fall. When the web gal and I were recently driving down [...]
And Napa’s Finest Diner... Cindy & David Words like legend and classic get a bit bandied about too much, but I always wanted to have a chat with Napa resident, 40-year legend chef Cindy Pawlcyn at her classic diner Mustards Grill right on the Hwy 29 across from Piazza Del Dotto Winery & Caves. But [...]
Great Experience... David & Josh Seattle is justifiably known for being one of the great seafood restaurant towns in the world. While I’m much more of a carnivore than a pescatarian, I thought it’d be fun to shake things up and try John Howie’s Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar than his steak place for my [...]
Life is Great!!! Another birthday rolled around too soon, but like I said last year, whom am I kidding, I love life and it’s another year to celebrate being alive and healthy. Recently, I started playing and enjoying Michael Bublé’s Feeling Good to kick my day off now. A hot swinging little number, delivered perfectly [...]
Who Doesn’t Like a Picnic... Kevin Murray One of my favorite food and wine events is just around the corner, the Taste Washington Picnic is happening at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, WA on Friday, Aug 11 and I’m so looking forward to sip and sup at the event. One of the chefs that [...]
Davis Estates Awaits... Peter Huls One of the perks of writing and editing this site is I get to talk to and meet a whole bunch of hospitality professionals, chefs, wine makers, hotel people, sommeliers, etc. who are so enthused about what they do. What I’m trying to say, I can’t imagine doing the NSI [...]
