Last year my hubby was diagnosed with hypertension. While it’s a slight issue, it’s still one of concern, so in addition to following the doctor’s orders (never try to self medicate with health foods – actual medical supervision is a must here), he started exercising more and eating a diet high in fiber and low in fat.

I’m going to start by saying something bold – Juni is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in NYC, and considering how much I love to try new places, that says a lot! It’s only a few weeks old, but Juni has already built up a solid following, including my friends and myself who dined there during NYFW.

I love living in California because of the weather, the kickback attitude, and of course, the wine. I definitely drink other wines, but my palette was trained on that rich oak barrel flavor that is so distinctly Californian. There are so many good wines I really can’t list them all, so I am sharing my top three.
