Mad Scientists at Raymond Winery
My first impression of Raymond Winery when I arrive for my "Winemaker for a Day" blending experience with my fiance, Tom, is that we are at a traditional Napa winery. The "Winemaker for Day" experience involves creating my own wine blend and bottling the wine to take home with my own label - which I am currently designing with a happy employee named Casey at the tasting room counter. The tasting room has beige walls and white counter-tops with a … [Read more...]
San Diego’s Best Beaches: An Insider’s Perspective
San Diego has acres and acres of coastline. With breathtaking views and free public beaches choosing the "best beaches" is very subjective. In most cases accessing San Diego's coastline also requires a car rental unless you are staying very close to the beach.

Final Thoughts on Palau

The fog persistently hung next to this part of the coast most of the day while the inland was much much warmer. Classic California micro climates for you! Love the Flyaway buses - they get you right to Union Station downtown where you can connect directly with the metro or metrolink. So easy. Jumped on the red line and like … [Read more...]
