This year’s Sonoma International Film Festival features some surprisingly good pairings (Chardonnay and kettle corn) and very some odd choices (a lifetime achievement award for Bruce Willis?)....

I'm lucky enough to have a friend in Sonoma County who has a persimmon tree. On a recent visit, I ate my fill of soft, ripe persimmons.

All food lovers dream of stumbling upon an undiscovered gem and consuming a magical meal in the most civilized of surroundings.
