Ultimate Wine Tasting for Your Dog at Kunde Winery!

October 31, 2010 By Tanji 2 Comments

Sounds crazy… insane even unbelievable, but a Sonoma winery offers a wonderful wine tasting and your dog is invited for its own tasting. Not to worry, none of your luscious cabernet will be in your dog’s bowl, but something even better will be.

Adults Only This Halloween

October 24, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

No more candy corn or popcorn balls – this Halloween I want to enjoy a treat with a little less sugar but still a lot of style, so I found a San Antonio chocolatier who can make just about anything you want out of chocolate. Apples are in peak form right now, so why not a yummy dark chocolate covered apple dripping with toasted nuts?

Local Chef Updates Savory Empanadas – Delicioso!

September 20, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

A treasure trove of antique recipes is tucked away into the stacks at the University of Texas San Antonio Library’s Special Collections. Thumbing through the books is fascinating even if you aren’t fluent in Spanish. It’s obvious by the sketches and ingredients that ‘food’ translated in any language means ‘love’.

Juicy Shrimp, Lima Beans & Chorizo at The Fig Tree

September 12, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

The Fig Tree is such a romantic restaurant whether you sit on the beautiful tree-shaded River Walk patio or inside the century old, beautifully decorated dining room. But that’s not all inspires passion at the Fig Tree – the creative French cuisine – as the French would say c’est si bon!

My First (hopefully not last) Pachamanca

September 4, 2010 By Tanji 1 Comment

It’s harvest time at Texas wineries, and one Hill Country vineyard celebrated with a tradition that dates back to the Incas. At the La Cruz del Comal winery just west of New Braunfels, the harvesting of the grapes started at sunrise.

Perfect Hill Country Getaway

August 29, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

I found the most charming, unique bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg called the Cotton Gin Village. It features seven cabins decked out in Texas style with all the modern amenities you’d ever need like satellite TV, working kitchens and Jacuzzi tubs.

Gott’s Roadside – Best burgers in Napa

August 15, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

What’s the best hamburger you’ve ever had? In our neck of the woods I have two favorites – the ‘crack’ burger at Zinc on the Riverwalk, as locals call it because it’s so deliciously addictive, and the blue cheese burger out at the Alamo Springs Café near Comfort.

Mojito Madness at Westin La Cantera!

August 1, 2010 By Tanji Leave a Comment

Nothing cools you down like an ice cold Mojito – the flavors of fresh lime juice, mint and rum are incredibly refreshing. The key to making the perfect Mojito is to use fresh ingredients and to avoid a couple of very common mistakes-don’t tear the mint leaves for starters!
