Presidio Social Club has been like a green room or something! On Friday night, the one and only Ted Allen of Bravo TV fame was there with 13 other people from the Robert Mondavi camp (he's a spokesperson for the brand). The group feasted on every appetizer on…

Healdsburg, California

PLEASE NOTE SOME OF THESE PLACES HAVE CLOSED SINCE THE ARTICLE WAS FIRST POSTED IN 2008. I fell in love with ~HEALDSBURG~ my first time there--give me a town square, some killer wineries, delish restaurants, a mellow small town atmosphere, stunning scenery, and, well, where's my ring?…

The weekend weather was completely bipolar, no? Fortunately it didn’t mess up one of my favorite days of the year, the Wine Country Classic Historic Car Races at the Infineon Raceway—can you imagine 350 historic racecars, some dating as far back as 1915, all racing on the track?…

I know, there are a bunch of fundraisers every week in this town, but this is one I really want to highlight. For the fourth year in a row, members of San Francisco's food community have joined forces to organize ~SUMMERTINI~, a benefit for the CHEFS (Conquering Homelessness…
