This week’s featured activity is actually on game day. Let’s face it, most of us are not going to the game. The question becomes: where will you watch the game? You can join six Pro Football Hall of Fame legends for a Big Game tailgate and watch party in beautiful Yountville.

Tipping Point Community hosted its 9th Annual Awards Breakfast on Dec. 3 in honor of extraordinary organizations and individuals committed to changing the odds for people living in poverty in the Bay Area. It was a morning of reflection — on the chronic and pressing issues our community faces, and on the inspiring people audacious enough to step forward and lead the way.

Harvest is long gone. The hordes of tourists that flock to the Napa Valley during the fall have dissipated as well. Now is a great time for you to go wine tasting in Wine Country. Beginning this week, we’re going to showcase a different winery in the Napa Valley or Sonoma County on a regular basis. While there are literally hundreds of wineries, each one is special in its own right. Today we’re taking you to the north end of the Valley, where the valley floor meets the edge of the Mayacamas Mountains and where affable vintners Randy and Lisa Lynch are the proud proprietors of Bennett Lane Winery.

While Fillmore Street in San Francisco’s tony Pacific Heights has received the lion’s share of attention for improving its retail offerings, nearby Sacramento Street has quietly continued to up its game as well. The hautest new space is St. Frank, a socially-conscious luxury home décor company which last month celebrated the opening of its first brick and mortar store in the city where it gets its name.

How apropos that a luxury lingerie brand like La Perla would host the San Francisco Ballet and the San Francisco Ballet Auxiliary’s annual launch party, celebrating the 2016 Opening Night Gala – Provocative. The soiree took place Dec. 1 at the scenic Villa Taverna in San Francisco.

Yountville may be the known as the culinary capital of the Napa Valley but there’s lots of great wine to be enjoyed in this charming town as well. One tasting room that is getting special attention these days for its homey nature is Silver Trident Winery Tasting Home, which is bringing together the magic of candlelight and the delights of wine tasting—two pleasures not usually combined in winery tasting rooms.
