Dear Friends ~
As I take a health leave for the next month, I have been eating and traveling enough to have plenty to share with you over that time, with articles from multiple publications I’ll continue to share as they’re published.
At Medium, my weekly dining column reviews one SF Bay Area restaurant each week plus travel guides on where to eat, drink and stay around the globe, California, the U.S. I welcome those interested to follow me, or sign up for a membership for my articles at Medium, which partially goes to support us as writers. Follow or support. I thank you.
Per usual, I’m posting my daily research in dining and drink at @ThePerfectSpot on Twitter, Facebook and my brand new Instagram account.
THIS ISSUE:
Wandering Traveler — Charleston Dining Guide: Where to eat and stay now in South Carolina’s Holy City.
The Latest — SF’s New Gambit Lounge: A wine bar with rare Central & Eastern European eats.
The Latest — Brand New Flour+Water Pizzeria Hits North Beach in the Old Rose Pistola Space: And it’s packed from day one!
Top Tastes — Is the $100 Pho Worth it at Inner Sunset’s New Gao Viet Kitchen? We’re not sure, but many other Vietnamese dishes here are worth going in for (and far more affordable).
Imbiber — Distiller Bottle Column: This issue I review rum, aperitifs, gin, Scotch whisky, tequila, awamori, American whiskies, and more.
I am also available for consulting, moderating, leading classes and tastings and more (info at virginia-miller.com).
Cheers,
Virginia
