SUNDRY INFORMATION




Epicurious
Epicurious boasts a fairly sizable recipe archive. Much bigger than this one.

Food & Wine Magazine
Most of the last 5 or 6 years worth of this magazine's recipes. Other contents and features too.

Estarcion Epi-curious
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Estarcion Engineering.

Navarro Vineyards
Navarro is a winery known mostly for their Gewurztraminer, although i have found that most everything they do is amazing. They're in Mendocino, and we always visit when we're getting away from the Bay Area.

Bonny Doon Winery
Just up the road from UCSC, where i went to school. Fun wines from Randall Graham, who dropped out of Porter to make wine and help found the Rhone Rangers.

Kaz Winery
Wossname Kaz is a tiny tiny wine producer from the Heart of the Moon Valley near Sonoma. He produces less than 1000 cases a year. His blends remind me of Bonny Doon's, a little. Be sure to try the Ascend. We loved it. (They also run a B-and-get-your-own-damned-B.)



La Villa Poppi
Our neighborhood favorite. Some of the bes Tuscany-style trattoria food run by some of the nicest folks in the neighborhood. It's tiny, they don't take reservations, but it's worth it!

3 Ring
3 Ring joined us in Fall of 1999 in the old home of Val21.

Boulevard
What's on the menu at Boulevard tonight?

Chez Panisse
In case you hadn't noticed, we want to be Alice Waters when we grow up.

Hawthorne Lane
Recipes from Hawthorne Lane.
