The wines at Havens Wine Cellar are down right heavenly. Starting with a crispy little ditty of an Albarino. It was like being in the middle of a citrus smack down. I was converted, if only for the day into a white wine lover. The Bourriquot had smatterings of Cabernet Franc accented with blueberry bliss goodness. It’s a wine with a mind of its own, delighting you down to the last droplet. I would be remiss if I didn’t touch on the Hudson Vineyard Syrah. This baby smelled and tasted like savory raw beef: bold, brazen and beautiful, loved it! Their wine pad is tucked away from the hubbub of the main drag and nestled beneath a posse of leafy trees, so between the wine and the setting you'll realize just how close you to a slurp of Napa Valley heaven. Wacky WineSense Rating: 4.5 grapes!
LA artist Jason Lockyer is at it again. This time his work hits the road, so you don't have to. No longer are you relegated into a gallery to see his work you can view it from the comfort of your own car or sidewalk as he whizzes right on by. You too can wallpaper your car with some of his arty delights. That is if any of them are left after his latest exhibit, spawned from it's Germany-based rendition. Read more about it here.

Not that anybody seems to notice but I’m back to my slim, post-bud break fighting weight of a svelte 20.5 pounds. I’m tempted to drop down to 20 but that would require a major overhaul to my wine-swilling repertoire and I’m not ready to commit to such a change.
Columnist, novelist, food, wine, event critic, marketing and promotions. When someone recently told me to "get a life" I decided to get a "wineward" life instead. When I slurp wine, I feel fine, enough said. I intend to slurp and scribe as much as humanly possible. My background came of age slinging ads (interactive and traditional ad agencies) from the glamorous (Sony, ABC/Disney, WB), the cuddly (Purina), foodie (Kraft), techie (HP, Intel, AT&T, Apple), & publishing (Conde Nast, Time Inc., Hearst), film festival production, and the list goes on and on.
