January 2009

february-ginHappy New Year! I crave new beginnings and love the feel of a “clean slate” each year (even if imagined), to drum up new goals, dream new dreams, and be open to new adventures. 2008 was full of discovery as well as intimacy with those I love. I’m ready for more…

Every month, I share Top Tastes, favorite new dishes, drinks and bites from culinary explorations around my fair city of San Francisco (and the Bay Area). Head to Healdsburg for a fine dining meal to remember at Cyrus in The Established. Bibliophile covers one of the best food memoirs I’ve read in a while, Sara Roahen’s “Gumbo Tales”. Wandering Traveler recaps highlights from my recent visit to Miami.

I’d love your feedback on any spots you visited from my site… don’t forget, I can help with any trips, outings or in local exploration by creating personalized itineraries, whether for an evening, a day or a whole vacation (check out my “Services” page).

Let me guide you to the perfect spot,

Virginia
