👋 OH HEY 👋

Mads here! Let’s do a lil weekend recap, shall we?

• 🍷 Finally visited Neighborhood Winery in the Arts District. It’s truly the most perfect natty wine bar. Oh, and they have a full Jewish menu filled with latkes and matzah with borscht butter. I mean…

• 📺 Um, CAMBER WAS ON THE NEWS! NBC’s California Live invited us on their show on Friday to share the coolest things to do over the weekend. You can rewatch the segment here. I feel like this should be a recurring thing?!

• 🥪 I had myself a lil day in Santa Ynez on Saturday: wine tasting at La Tarantella, sandwiches at The Lucky Hen Larder, more wine tasting at Dreamcote, and dinner at Bar Le Côte (or as the locals call it, BLC). Full Santa Ynez guide here!

• 🦪 April 1st was the last day of Loreto’s spring omakase menu, and I had the honor and privilege of tasting it this weekend. Omg the swordfish shawarma, lobster dumpling, and all the wine pairings…chef’s kiss. If you missed it, don’t worry. They’re planning another experience for summer. In the meantime, head over to Loreto for menu hits like the tostada tonnato, tostada bang bang, fig ceviche, & atun picante.
