There’s a winery just outside the small town of Yountville in Napa called Domaine Chandon. You’ve probably heard of it, if only because you can find their sparkling wines all over the country. Unsurprisingly, their tasting room is always packed, filled with visitors seeking to enjoy a glass of bubbly while seated on a patio shaded [...]

I’ve had the above image of a Central Park south apartment bookmarked for a while now. Taken by Jamie Beck, I still remember the immediate lift I felt when I first spotted this gorgeous Bergère chair in the apartment, which is owned by a woman in her nineties, if you can believe it!

This past weekend, despite the cold and a bit of rain, we had a great time up in Napa. I honestly don’t think there’s a bad time of year to visit Northern California wine country, but I have to say, if you don’t mind the cooler temps, Napa in autumn is spectacularly beautiful. The trees [...]

We were out in the desert from late Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning, and our timing couldn’t have been better. Palm Springs was in the midst of a freak fall heat wave, which meant temps in the high 90s and lots of sunshine. Since Joe and I had planned on doing nothing but hanging out [...]

We arrived in Santa Barbara on Sunday afternoon, and the weather was BEAUTIFUL. 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. Our hotel was a quick walk to State Street, so we camped out at a sports bar for a while, eating snacks and drinking beers. Sports bar, you say? Yeah, yeah, I know. But [...]
