They all talk about the &#8216;Sideways&#8217; effect, but I think it&#8217;s more than that. Great wines, great vistas, great people.

		<description><![CDATA[As I've said before, it's never a bad idea to know your food  sources. During a recent trip to Santa Barbara, I got to make a fascinating side-visit to a moderate-sized abalone and halibut farm just north of town, poetically called The Cultured Abalone. For those who may be most accustomed to seeing it on Asian menus, abalone is a actually a type of snail (called abulon in Latin countries, ear-shells or mutton-fish in Australia, ormer in Great Britain, and venus-ears in South Africa) that lives in a half-shell which is a popular source of mother-of-pearl. Abalone meat might be easiest described as somewhere between scallop and clam, as it can be bigger like the former but firmer like the latter. If cooked right, it's not chewy but tender and mild.]]></description>

The first year, 2009, I documented on this website, here. The second, 2010, on EscapeHatchDallas.com, here. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, USA Today devoted the better part of a two-page spread on The Best of Las Vegas Nightlife, a pictorial written by Kitty Bean Yancey with the input of Vegas “panelists” Norm Clarke (Las Vegas Review-Journal  gossip columnist), Anthony Curtis (LasVegasAdvisor.com), Sarah Feldberg (Las Vegas Weekly), Oscar Goodman (outgoing Mayor of downtown  Las Vegas), Dan Hippler (Vegas.com), Jack Houston (Las Vegas Magazine), John Katsilometes (Las Vegas Sun), and Abby Tegnalia (VEGAS magazine).

I have to tell you, I was pretty dumbstruck by it. I had to check the date of the paper—and wonder how much input my colleagues actually had. Because without exception, every single one of the choices—most of which wouldn’t generally be considered ‘nightlife’ specifically—could have been made two years ago. If not longer. YAWN.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best kept secrets of the wine world is the fact that there is a steadily growing high-quality wine industry right across the US border in Baja, Mexico's Valle de Guadalupe, just outside Ensenada. Owing to Mexican government export tariffs favoring tequilas, and a general disbelief in Mexican dedication to quality, most of these wines never make it out of their country. But things are changing, aided by growing attention to the Valle de Guadalupe's annual Fiestas de la Vendimia every August. I got the opportunity to visit one of the top producers, Monte Xanic, and taste many of its competitors during a crush season visit a few months ago for a story in The Tasting Panel. ]]></description>

Several boutique hotels have been restored to create some of the hippest resorts anywhere. Take a look at my feature article for Dallas/FtWorth's 360 West magazine, or just enjoy some of my candid pics...]]></description>
