ALL OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

Monterey Del Mar Beach

Greetings, and welcome to our newest issue, filled with all of our favorite things. We love to celebrate food and wine every day, so when it comes to putting together this annual
issue that spotlights both of those loves, work becomes fun. We’ve tasted lots of wines, visited hot new restaurants, where some of L.A.’s top chefs have ventured into different culinary territories, and even hit the Fancy Foods Show in order to help satisfy the most demanding foodies’ palates. We love our kids and dogs, too (especially my boon
companion, Jack the Wonder Bichon), so we’re shining spotlights on both, with sections devoted to the products and services that will make them all sit up and smile. And don’t
miss our family Getaways story; this trip is one that you and your children will never forget.
We’ve traveled to Central America in this issue as well, filling you in on the latest luxury happenings in Costa Rica, as well as taking a look at the emerging tourism opportunities
in Nicaragua. And if Belize and the Great Blue Hole are on your Bucket List (like they were on mine), you’ll feel the lure of that wonderful place even more as you join me on
my adventure-filled trip.

Check inside, too, for the latest in golf fashions; you’re sure to see a look that will set you apart on the links, no matter what your handicap. And get to the golf course in
style with one of the luxury sedans covered in these pages, or simply stay home and enjoy the DVD and CD Hidden Gems we’ve found for your entertainment pleasure.

Please enjoy!
