EXPERIENCE
THE VODBOX AT NIC’S IN
BEVERLY HILLS
Nic’s restaurant in
Beverly Hills
would be good enough to stand on the merits of the food, service and
atmosphere, but since the addition of “The Vodbox,’’ business
has really picked up. This has been created by owner/entrepreneur and
sometime chef Larry Nicola, who is the perfect host at a restaurant in the
same location as La Familia, watering hole of none other than Dean Martin.
LA
CENSE BEEF FROM
MONTANA
-THE REAL DEAL
Having visited the La Cense
Ranch in
Montana
a couple of years ago, I was delighted to find out recently that they have
started to market their marvelous meat products. I tried some of their New
York Steaks along with the prime-rib, and can tell you that grass fed
cattle are really the way to go for the best steaks, and La Cense meats
are a cut above the rest. Of course they are not inexpensive, but these
days it seems nothing of quality is.
US
GRANT HOTEL-THE PLACE TO STAY IN
SAN DIEGO
The US GRANT Hotel is
absolutely the place to stay in
San Diego
if you are looking to be in an “
Art
Gallery
with rooms”. The 270 room and 47 suites hotel recently underwent a
$56 million refurbishment, and re-opened in October 2006 after a two-year
closure. The hotel was built by the failed businessman Ulysses S. Grant
Jr. to honor his father in 1910, and since the opening on October 15th
that year, the hotel has hosted 13
US
Presidents, including both Nixon and Kennedy who gave speeches there in
1960.
RIGHT
GIN SET TO LAUNCH IN LOS ANGELES
Right Gin is a
relatively high end drink imported from
Sweden
that is now set to launch in
Los Angeles
and
Miami
this month. Priced at $40 a bottle, the drink was created by W.L.Lyons
Brown, a descendant of the family that owns Jack Daniels and Southern
Comfort. The brand launched in 2007 big time at the Gwen Stefani concert
after party in
Las Vegas
, and is being clearly marketed at the under-30 crowd, not a group that
you can really associate with Gin.

BOOMERANG
VODKA HITS THE TARGET
What do kangaroos, Ayers rock and Foster’s beer,
and Chris Williams have in common? They
are all from
Australia
of course. Who might you
say is Chris Williams? He is from the land “down under” and owner of
the Wattle Creek Winery where he has developed a new fresh tasting vodka
from a special blend of grapes grown in
Sonoma
,
California
Boomerang Vodka is a light clear refreshing vodka distributed through
Foster’s Wine Estates.
YAMATO
OPENS IN WESTWOOD

press since opening in December, with the Los Angeles Times describing it
as “Japanese pub food at great prices”.
BASEBALL,
APPLE MARTINI AND CRČME BRULEE
Where can you find good weather, beautiful people,
rock roll music with no crowds- how about the Hard Rock Hotel in
San Diego. In the past, it was
baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet. Today
its baseball, apple martini and crčme brulee. Nestled
at the entrance to the Gas Lamp District across from the Convention Center
and near the new professional baseball field
Petco
Park
, I felt like I was part of the new fabric of the new downtown scene.

CUNARD
LAUNCHES THE QUEEN VICTORIA IN GRAND STYLE
The Queen Victoria is
Cunard’s latest addition to their tiny fleet, but it certainly ranks as
the classiest ship so far in their illustrious fleet.
Although it is slightly smaller than the Queen Mary 2, the Queen
Victoria is intended to recreate the glory days of the transatlantic
liners in the early part of the twentieth century.
History was also made with this launch, because it was the first
time in Cunard’s illustrious 168 year history that there are three
Cunard Queens in service at the same time.
