“Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know.” – John Keats

After a rousing week in Guadalajara and Tequila, Mexico, then a welcome respite on the quiet North Shore of Lake Tahoe, I have done little local eating the past couple weeks. But there remains an abundance to share…

Top Tastes eats some of the best Italian pizza in SF by way of NY at Una Pizza. Imbiber, part one, highlights tequila, from rare pours I tasted in Mexico, to lunch with Don Julio’s master distiller.

Imbiber, part two, sips a winning seasonal pumpkin cocktail and unique scotch bottlings. Wandering Traveler highlights the best eats from my recent travels in Guadalajara.

I’d love your feedback on any spots visited from my site. As your personal concierge who tells it to you like a good friend would, I also create personalized itineraries: trips, meals, explorations (under “Services“).

Let me guide you to the perfect spot!
