A Review Of Bottle Rock Put another one in the record books – Bottle Rock Napa 2013 is finally over. I hate to say it was a grueling 3 days, but it definitely required a certain level of tenacity and stamina to make it through this one. The final day, however, more than made up […]
A Review Of Bottle Rock Luckily, today is day 3 of the Bottle Rock Napa 2013 Festival for me. I say luckily for two reasons – first, I am very lucky to be able to afford such a trip, especially as a VIP and staying in such a beautiful home in Sonoma. On the flip […]

While I have not officially created a bucket list, I have in my head a sort of culinary list of things that I would like to try before my time is through here.

Eating ceviche and drinking a Corona last week made me reminisce about my trip down to Bahia Asuncion I took a couple years ago, during my pre-blogging era.
