Karen Brown's Lincoln Green Inn, Carmel, California
Once you happen upon (discovered) the adorable English cottages of the Lincoln Green Inn you won't want to leave. This adorable inn has no public buildings; it is simply comprised of four perfectly charming white cottages with green trim tucked in a beautiful English garden. You feel like you have your own private home in the Cotswold's of England. There is a Shakespearian theme which transcends throughout the inn as each cottage is aptly named Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, Maid Marian and Little John and each is decorated in a traditional English style with cozy antiques and floral patterns on the bedspreads and curtains. The cottages are fully equipped with everything you need from kitchenettes and flat panel TVs, to warm fireplaces and continental breakfast delivered to your door each morning. Three of the cottages have one bedroom and Robin Hood is larger with two bedrooms. Come stay for a few days or a few weeks as the cottages are also for rent by the month. A lovely wine and cheese service is offered in the afternoons in the garden. Lincoln Green Inn has a great quiet location on Carmel Point, walking distance to the gorgeous River Beach and Carmel Beach and about 10 blocks from Ocean Avenue, Carmel's prime shopping street. Like many hotels and restaurants in Carmel, pets are welcome at this lovely Inn.
Wine Tasting in Monterey County
Monterey County is home to some of the finest vineyards in the world. The area also boasts many great tasting rooms to try them all.
Joseph Carr Wine Dinner at Pasta Pane - 5th Annual
Last Monday September 8th we hosted our 5th Annual Joseph Carr Wine Dinner at Pasta Pane Rustic Italian Bistro. It was the largest Joseph Carr event we have held and perhaps the best. We are grateful and appreciative to Joseph Carr for making this event part of his annual calendar and travels and for the generosity and warmth with which he treats our restaurant team and our guests. We look forward to welcoming him back again next year for another sold-out event.
“Well, good evening. Tonight is the fifth anniversary of our winemaker dinner here at Pasta Pane. It’s the biggest wine dinner that I’ve done here in the United States. It’s an amazing group of people. The chef’s put together an amazing menu and we featured the wines from Josh Cellars out of Sonoma, as well as the Joseph Carr Wine made up in Napa. And I brought a special wine tonight called Dylan’s Ghost which this is really kind of its world premiere. Every year we come here it’s like coming home. We meet a lot of old friends and family. I get to work with artists, winemakers, chefs, and everybody here that makes it all happen. It was great. Thanks a lot.” – Joseph Carr, Owner/Vintner

San Francisco Travel Tips: 11 Things to Know Before You Go
Things YOU need to know before YOU go to San Francisco in California. San Francisco is the 4th most populated city in California and has a population of 800,000 people. San Francisco is known for year round fog, the golden gate bridge, cable cars, Victorian Houses, sweeping bay views, and of course Alcatraz. One of America's most unique & distinctive cities.
2 - Weather
I refer to San Francisco as the foggy city.
Mark Twain’s famous quote: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
The weather varies by hour, and by neighborhood. It could be 70 degrees and Sunny in one spot, and 50 degrees with pea-soup fog in the other.
September and October are the warmest and sunniest months.
Wear layers you can easily remove.
3 - Food:
Clam Chowder & Sourdough Bread
Seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf
Little Italy
Chinatown
Koi Palace by San Francisco Airport
Ferry Building for lot’s of local food.
Cowgirl creamery has good cheese.
Ghirardelli for chocolate and ice cream
4 - Hotels:
SF can be quite expensive
Weekends are often cheaper
I like Union Square. Most central, you can take the BART here. Cable car, street cars.
2nd choice: Embarcadero
I dont like fishermans wharf.. too touristy.
Definitely stay within the city.. dont be crossing the bay.
5 - Getting In:
3 Major Airports: SFO, OAK, SJC
SFO is 15 miles South of the city.
A strip of TARMAC surrounded by water.
The main airport, the major airlines all fly here.
Prone to weather delays (FOG)
Taxi or uber will cost about $60 and take between 25-60mins.
BART: $10 to Union Square and 35 mins. BART makes 4 stops in Downtown SF.
Oakland is 25 miles from SF, across the bay. Less foggy, so less delays. Good if you are visiting Napa. Lots of Southwest flights.
San Jose
60 miles south of SF. Good if you are visiting Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Carmel. You can do a one way rental car and return to SFO.
6 - Getting Around:
Cable Car: San Francisco classic from 1873. It’s amazing they still run these.
Best place to ride… on the outside! Want to stop… just yell out you want to stop!
7 - POPOS:
What’s a Popo? Privately owned public open spaces.
They come in the form of urban gardens, plazas, but the best ones are on rooftops.
Neither obvious nor clearly marked, POPOS are all over downtown San Francisco—and everyone is welcome
8 - Chinatown:
SF has the largest Chinatown outside of Asia. It's also the oldest in North America. It is around one mile long by one and a half miles wide. Covers 24 square blocks. More than 100,000 people live in Chinatown. It's the most densely populated neighborhood in the city and in fact the most densely population neighborhood in the US west of Manhattan.
It really is a city within the city. Chinatown has it's own customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity.
Lots of great Dim sum joints, bakeries, tea shops, and this is where the American fortune cookie was invented.
More visitors come to Chinatown than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Portsmouth Square bustles with activity such as T'ai Chi and old men playing Chinese chess.
9 - Fisherman’s Wharf:
Probably the most touristy part of San Francisco, particularly because it’s next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Alcatraz Tours leave from here. Book in advance. More about that in a bit.
Visit Boudin, Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory, and In-N-Out Burger.
They invested the Irish Coffee in the 1950’s at Buena Vista Cafe here.
And of course the Sea Lions
My favorite place is the arcade
10 - Alcatraz:
Probably the most famous prison in the US.
home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, Operated here from 1934 to 1963.
11 - Day Trips
Napa
Santa Cruz
Monterey / Carmel
3 nights in SF, 2 nights in Napa, 2 nights in Monterey/Santa Cruz, and maybe add a night or 2 in Silicon Valley if you are a tech nerd.

Kosher Wine - The Rise and Fall of Manischewitz
If your experience with kosher wine is drinking one too many glasses of Manischewitz at the seder, it might surprise you to hear that the kosher wine business is booming. In fact, you can’t go anywhere in Israel without stumbling over a boutique winery.
While kosher wine was once a bit of a joke, these days it’s winning awards and accolades and even connoisseurs are swigging back bottles of the stuff.
And it’s not just popular in Israel. It’s a thing in America too - and not only among Jews. In fact, it’s been a stable in various communities since the days of Prohibition in the 1920s.
Let us know what you think in the comments section.

Cycling along the boardwalk and finally ending it all off at Santa Monica while the sun set was indescribable.

Don't mess with these seemingly tame carnival rides. Sometimes I feel like the smaller scale these look, the more terrifying they are. Haha.
01:30 - Disneyland
I always end up crying in Disneyland — You know, it's just like nostalgia hitting you right in the feels. But that aside, we have Jiax, the ultimate scaredy cat. He looks cool and all on social media, but really. Terrified of a swinging ferris wheel? (HAHA WE LOVE YOU JIAX)
