Spring is in the air and we’re all feeling a little flirty. The ladies of Kiss & Tell are back with Kiss & Tell resident DJ Bethany, The Bunker’s Bryan Kasenic and Move D!

We will be breaking in The Panther Room, a new Williamsburg venue. We are quite excited to settle into our new home and sip some after work cocktails as we listen to vintage dance music records on a brand spankin’ new Funktion One sound system.

You just might hear: disco, ladies’ choice jams, space oddities, geigh haus!

Dress to impress in your finest floral frocks. Wear flowers in your hair or in your lapel.

Thanks to my buddy Eric Cloutier for this one.

I am not much of a beer drinker, but this place blew me away. We tried the tasting and they were all really delicious. Even the wine was good too. Too bad you can only drink these micobrews in Santa Rosa, CA.

love these funny coasters!

everything tasted so good, so we joined their wine club…

their healthy mossy reservoir reminded me of Claude Monet

I found the perfect post wine tasting activity (besides napping): tutu shopping at Aubergine Vintage Emporium & Cafe – Sebastopol, CA!

lovely organic vegetable gardens at Lynmar Estate

…silly me, I packed my bathing suit, I should have packed my winter hat.  It was freezing!

perfect weather for some Spud Point crab chowda!

I have been practicing Chinese cuisine with the help of my new cookbook “Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking” by Fuchsia Dunlop. So far every recipe has been quite easy to manage and the results have been great.

Oooh I just love a good used bookstore. I can spend hours getting lost in one. We found pretty much one of the best ones I have ever been to, in Santa Rosa, California. Treehorn Books had just the right combination of fine literature  and  many obscure books on wine and other delicious hedonistic California activities.

…and I met this lovely lady

pretty miniature paper dollhouses hung in the windows too

the lovely vineyards of Sonoma County

Jes and I had a nice relaxing final two days in India shopping up a storm and watching old Bollywood films in my “Lost in Translation” hotel room.
