Barrel-aged Negroni at The Desmond, San Diego. All

Barrel-aged Negroni at The Desmond, San Diego. All the sharp edges of the gin are smoothed, yielding a somewhat viscous cocktail with clear notes of juniper and spice and a through-note nip of citrus. Glad I only had to make it upstairs to my room at The Kimpton Alma. A Negroni worth an Uber home for all y’all.

Asparagus season is almost over so RUN, don’t wa

Asparagus season is almost over so RUN, don’t walk, to try the asparagus with black garlic, yuba and pistachio at Tenderheart at the Line Hotel in San Francisco.
Chef Joe Hou’s flavors are dynamic and thrilling. Appreciated the clear communication from service staff, too. Also pictured: duck breast with duck fat rice, scallops with buttermilk dashi and Clock Tower cocktail with bourbon and sherry (my fave — next time, I’ll ask for it “up.”)

The Alto Tunnel float was the best of the Mill Val

The Alto Tunnel float was the best of the Mill Valley Memorial Day parade, followed closely by the Scott Valley Sea Serpents. But the kids counting their candy loot and moving their treasures around like chess pieces the built-in board was my winning moment of today.

I don’t think these are Bleeding Hearts (which my Dad always referred to as “the liberals) because the flowers aren’t quite right. Fuchsia?

I wouldn’t say Farley at Cavallo Point is veggie

I wouldn’t say Farley at Cavallo Point is veggie-centric — I mean, look at the lovely bacon on my salmon BLT! But they get the proportions right of salad to protein. Same for the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich.

The wild mushroom gluten-free potsticker was my favorite bite on the multi-course tasting menu at Fort Ross Vineyard. (Those Pinots are bomb.) I even tried my hand at painting a still life downstairs. The views over the vineyards to the ocean are 1,000,000 times better than my painting!😭💯🔥

Low abv beverages, like this Mandarin Blossom selt

Low abv beverages, like this Mandarin Blossom seltzer from Hangar 1, are my go-to when hanging out, cheering from the sidelines at whatever game I’m watching. (Baseball, in this instance.) ABV of 3.5% is easy in every way. Flavor? Slight bitterness from the peel, slight sweetness from the petals. Refreshing. Nice.

We arrived at Sailing Goat moments before it opene

We arrived at Sailing Goat moments before it opened and there was already a line. People are excited about this place! The chef from Anaviv’s Table revamped the menu to focus on coastal dishes from around the world. Yum. And the view can’t be beat — if you face the water, you look right at sailing boats and Marin’s Mt. Davidson. What a way to spend a few hours on a stunning Saturday.
