And we finished up in Pismo Beach (PISMO BEACH!!!!) at the Cracked Crab.
Central Coast, Paso Robles, and More!

Tin City Block Party, Part One – Before the Party
Who knew that you'd have to have an appointment to interview some wineries on BLOCK PARTY WEEKEND?! Sheesh!
My Favorite Winery(ish) – Part Deux
Several years ago I wrote an article about the "largest winery" in Paso Robles. That "winery" is Albertsons, located at 3rd and Niblick, near the 101. That was Part One. We're baaaack!

J. Lohr Wine Dinner – Marché Bacchus
When I saw the flyer for a J. Lohr wine dinner at Marché Bacchus for just a little over $100, I jumped at the opportunity. Budget be damned.
Iron Chef America, Politics, Whooshes, and Friendships
I was feeling very smug as I posted my snarky commentary, and then my balloon got punctured.
