Visitors to Napa Valley, even those on their first trip, have a hard time missing the Grgich Hills winery, which sits prominently on the west side of Highway 29, its flower beds almost pushed right up against the edge of the blacktop. Of course, when the winery was established in the late 1970s there was a lot less traffic on that same highway, and founder Miljenko “Mike” Grgich was a young man. But despite his youth, this Croatian-born immigrant did not lack for experience or acclaim. Indeed, it was partly based on his success as the winemaker for the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay which performed so well at the famous 1976 Paris Tasting that Grgich, his friend Austin Hills, and Austin’s sister Mary Lee Strebl chose to begin what has become one of Napa’s most frequented wineries. Grgich Hills attracts a lot of visitors by virtue of its location on the beaten path, so to speak, but even if it were tucked away in some cranny of the valley, there would likely be a steady stream of traffic to its doors simply for its reputation as a…

I brought Robyn and Alaina along for the interview, and we knew we weren’t in the Chinatown that I grew up with, the moment we started reading the huge menu. Consider the following Sax-recommended items: Pastrami over Spinach. Corned Beef over Lettuce. Pastrami Shrimp Fried Rice. And how about these chef-recommended dishes: Short Rib Beef in a Pumpkin Golden Prawns over Twin Rice Mixed Asian Mushroom over Bean Curd Rolls House Special Crispy Chicken Stuffed with Sticky Rice (Pre-order Required) House Special Crispy Chicken Stuffed with Shrimp & Almond (Pre-order Required) Roast Chicken with Garlic/Preserved Vegetable Of the three deli dishes…

I meant to post this weeks ago, but my notes were somehow buried in a blizzard of files on my desktop. Better late than never, right? Here goes. I had a good-sized bag of arugula left-over from my nephew Jack’s first birthday party and needed to use it up. I decided to give the bulk of it a whirl in the food processor and turn it into an arugula pesto of sorts. Not very creative, I’ll admit, but the resulting puree was great – electric-green with a peppery kick. It’s just the sort of thing to slather on a sandwich, dollop over hot pasta, or you can do what I did, and work it through a bowl of plump, chewy wheat berries.
