“A writer is someone who pays attention to the world – a writer is a professional observer.” – Susan Sontag
Driving outside of Salzburg, Austria
I’m off to Oregon for a sake and izakaya press trip, but meanwhile have been savoring the continued radiant weather at home with walks in the park, front stoop drinks with neighbors, and gazing out at the ocean with The Renaissance Man.
This action-packed issue covers eight new pizza joints, rare whiskies, highlights of my return to Austria, a tribute to an SF burger legend:
Among the best Bay Area pizzas… in Los Gatos
Top Tastes – By the Slice: Highlights from 8 new Bay Area pizza joints, from Philo down to Los Gatos.
Imbiber – Whisky & Cognac Rarities: The privilege of tasting 50 Year Old Scotch and a 1950 Cognac.
Wandering Traveler – Dreamy Austria: Returning to the fairy tale city of Salzburg for joys in chocolate, one of the best wine bars anywhere, the oldest operating restaurant in the world, and much more.
Imbiber – American Whiskey Rarities: Two American whiskies with Stitzel-Weller & Old Bernheim ties.

As your personal concierge who tells it like a good friend would, I also create personalized itineraries: trips, meals, explorations (under “Services“).
