Pozzuoli Winery – From The Vine
October 16, 2013 by
Pozzuoli Winery produces around five hundred cases of wine every year. For an $8 tasting fee anyone stopping through can try five Paso Robles wine samples, about two ounces per sample. The fee is waived if a visitor decides to purchase a bottle, all of which are fairly inexpensive. Italian appetizers cooked on-site are available as well. While the tasting room is on the small side, the staff and owners are clearly committed both to excellent taste and an enjoyable atmosphere for wine enthusiasts both new and veteran. Olive oil is also created and harvested here, and even available for sampling. You can make reservations online at Pozzuoli’s website, which also regularly updates its event listings and has a form where you can sign up to join the wine club with benefits like discounts and a complimentary tasting.

Roy’s: A Taste Of The Hawaiian Islands
October 9, 2013 by
Hawaiian food can be a hard thing to come across outside of the islands, which is quite a shame—the unique fusion of cultures in America’s fiftieth state has produced some very unique cuisine. Chef Roy Yamaguchi is a master of that food, and shows it off at his chain of restaurants. Stop in at either of Roy’s two locations for a taste of this fusion and more. High-quality ingredients are prepared in a wide number of innovative dishes that will please the palate and not leave you too full. Regulars go ape about the Hawaiian style soy miso-glazed fish dishes, which are tender and incredibly flavorful. For carnivores, the baby back ribs draw raves. Roy’s also offers an innovative sushi menu, with unique rolls exploring the mixed cuisines of the Hawaiian Islands. Dessert lovers all agree that you shouldn’t leave before sampling the decadent chocolate soufflé.

Must Visit Baseball Stadiums
September 25, 2013 by
Check out this list of the top five must see baseball stadiums in America.
Wrigley Field
Home of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field is the second oldest major league stadium, built in 1913. Visit during the day to see the ivy covered walls in the outfield. Sit in the outfield bleachers to throw homerun balls hit by the opposing team back onto the field.
Fenway Park
Fenway, home to the Boston Red Sox, was opened in 1912. See the historic Green Monster in the outfield and the red seat that honors Ted Williams' park-record home run.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Oriole Park is just two blocks away from Babe Ruth's birthplace in downtown Baltimore. The ball park may have opened in 1992 but it has a delicious old-school feel.
PNC Park
This intimate park offers beautiful views of the Allegheny River and downtown Pittsburgh. Ticket prices are low, and don't forget to pick up a sandwich from the famous Primanti Brothers!
Coors Field
Experience a wonderful view of the Rocky Mountains while watching a baseball game at Denver's Coors Field. Due to the high altitude you're more likely to see home runs here. Tickets start at just $4.

Marconi Automotive Museum: Drive Hard
September 3, 2013 by
After amassing a glut of amazing motor vehicles, car enthusiast and Marconi Automotive Museum founder Dick Marconi wanted to give back to his community. In order to do so he also created the Marconi Foundation for Kids. Every visit to the museum costs a $5 donation to the Foundation, which then disseminates at least a million dollars a year to other local charities for at-risk children. The $30 million collection itself is very impressive, more than worth the price of admission, with everything from a Roadster Coupe to a Ferrari F50 in its collection. The staff here is knowledgeable and more than willing to help in a visitor’s perusal of the collection, and the cars and motorcycles are not roped off, which means you can approach them and look inside at your leisure. The museum rents its space out for events running the gamut from mitzvahs to weddings, as well, with net proceeds from these going to charities too.
