Nick’s Cove: The Long and Winding Road to a Burger and Brew
Driving through rural West Marin County is like driving through a craggy, verdant Mobius strip. If you’re prone to car-sickness the scenic trip might prove lethal. If you survive, good for you, but it’s not “about the journey, man.” Our mission, at least on this day, was to obtain an old school, straight-up non-chichi burger [...]

Sonoma Faces off on Facebook
In another of my social media-to-print experiments (OK, admittedly, Twitter interview made only partial sense – least of all to those on Twitter), I decided to “crowd-source” my column. Crowd-sourcing is like out-sourcing but instead of farming my column out to an emerging economy like India or East Petaluma, one taps the so-called “wisdom of [...]

Best Little Horror House in Sonoma
Given the annual rate of attrition of the kids who trick or treat my house, this year I expect, at most, two – the one’s from next door whose parents make them come over for the sake of being polite.
The low turnout baffles my wife who thrills at the sight of little one’s garbed as [...]

I Can Read Movies
Utterly smitten with the work of artist-designer-genius Mitch Ansara’s work interpreting movies for his “I Can Read Movies” mock book covers series, I was inspired to research the origin of the aesthetic he both effectively and affectionately captured for his renditions of flicks as diverse as Caddy Shack and Blade Runner. Though the films themselves [...]

Sonoma Inn (San Francisco Edition) literally bites
Given my never-ending crusade to preserve Sonoma’s brand equity, imagine my surprise when I discovered poachers siphoning our identity from our own backyard.

Codling’s Walken Exhibit Cues the Muse
Matisse had his Odalisque – painter John W. Codling has Christopher Walken.
(“And now, little man, I give the watch to you.”)
Codling’s series, “Sundays with Chris,” a study of the actor, is on exhibit from October 22 through November 1 at DVF Gallery in the Meatpacking District at 444 West 14th Street, NYC). The artist, a [...]
Emmy Kaplan: Patrón of the Arts
For Emmy Kaplan, the proprietress of both the San Francisco and Sonoma, California iterations of Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack, the secret ingredient to a good cocktail is “freshness.” Fear not for Emmy’s punk rock cred, however, a favorite among Bay Area musicians, artists and foodies alike, the Shack (as it’s colloquially known) has not been Michael [...]
