One of the world’s foremost authorities on Indonesia, the always lovely and vivacious Ben, the world’s authority on extreme weather and the world’s number one wife – all in the same shot! The occasion was a dinner to celebrate Bill Dalton’s sale of his home in Chico and his permanent move to Bali. Best of…

Great food, fabulous people. Thanks Tony!
First Holiday Party of 2003!
This year’s first holiday party was at Dominic’s house in Concord. Dominic is Kelly’s hair stylist and a Fresno native like Kelly, so we never miss his parties. Dominic has HUGE family – six brothers, seven sisters and about 87 beautiful nieces. His home is cozy with two fireplaces that kept everyone comfortable despite the…
Turkey Day in Fresno
The holiday weekend consisted mostly of the usual fare – family and tons of fabulous food. Of course, any outing with the Hunter Clan is guaranteed to produce a few memorable moments. This year was no exception. The first surprise was a doozy… Imagine your standard-issue bar stool strapped atop a custom built five horse-power…
Fabulous Fun Day!
Wow! What a terrific day! Our dear friends Jeff and Wendy drove up to the bay area all the way from Fresno to test drive a Mini Cooper. (They loved it.) We spent the rest of the day eating, sightseeing and sigh Christmas shopping. Lunch at Jack’s Bistro, cruising past the USS Midway, martinis at…
A Fabulous Party for a Beautiful Friend
The setting for Ellen’s 50th birthday celebration was almost as gorgeous as the Birthday Girl herself. Last night’s party at Solea in San Francisco was splendid. The food and wine were delicious, and as you can see, there were beautiful people everywhere. Thanks to Itzik for pulling it all together!
Is She Amazing, or What?

Happy Birthday, Dude!!
Thanks so much to all who came to thedude’s party. Jim and Kelly are blessed to have the best friends (and neighbors!) in the world. We love you all!
In The Zone
It would be easy to get the impression from my pictures that all we do out here in the bay area is eat and drink wine. Well, it’s just not true. During the day, we all work very hard – so that we can spend our evenings with friends enjoying fine food and wine. The…
Oh-Ann and Lexy
I dated Ann when I was 24 – half a lifetime ago! Today, Ann and her 19 year old daughter Lexy dropped in on their way to a wedding in Santa Rosa. While Alexis napped in their room at the cozy Nob Hill Hotel, I subjected Ann to a whirlwind tourist treatment. The usual –…
Eat, Drink, Eat, Repeat…
We began the day with lunch at the fabulous Rutherford Grill, where we enjoyed the world’s best smoked salmon and a grilled artichoke in the warm Napa Valley sunshine. Our next stop was at the popular V. Sattui Winery for a taste of their famously fresh, flowery wines. Later, we stopped at Clos Pegase. The…
