Review – Pebble Beach…YEAH!
One course down in the courses that one has to play before they die. As part of the Pebble Beach Food & Wine event, this was the way to play Pebble. Format was Texas Scramble, so no individual birdies, but we did have a few ones as a team. As the event name suggests, food and wine were everywhere around the course, starting with a pre-round toast with 2002 Cristal champagne! We were lucky as one day earlier, upon our arrival to Pebble Beach, the wind was howling…and I mean howling. Fortunately it died down and the wind wasn’t that bad when we played. As anticipated, the scenery was spectacular…stunning!

Review – Tsar Nicoulai Caviar Café
Posted by birdie in Food, North America, Review on April 13, 2009
Another favorite in San Francisco. Also in the Ferry Building, this is the ultimate place for brunch…Champagne and caviar! Serving California farmed sturgeon caviar, they emphasize the importance of sustainability by offering an alternative to the caviar harvested from wild sturgeon. Try the American Sampler and the Truffled Scrambled Egg with California Estate Osetra Caviar is to die for.

Review – Hog Island Oyster Co.
Posted by birdie in Food, North America, Review on April 11, 2009
This is our favorite place in San Francisco. It’s in the Ferry Building just across the street from Hotel Vitale in Embarcadero. So fresh! Opens at 11:30am Mondays to Fridays and 11:00am on weekends. There’s always a large crowd, so go there a bit earlier to grab a seat at the bar.
