The Loews Coronado Bay Resort Executive Chef Gabriel Morales Mistral Chef Patrick Ponsaty created a Cellar Series most will enjoy. I say most because if you do not enjoy seafood, wine, & great conversation then this isn't for you.
A wine pairing with an unusual twist. Tasting different years of the same vintage. I was impressed!

I never liked Valentine’s Day very much because I always felt guys are on the short end of the stick. It’s all about what you’re buying for your girlfriend/wife. I suppose it’s slightly different in the gay community, but not being gay I don’t know for sure.I never liked Valentine’s Day very much because I always felt guys are on the... more

Bowing to international pressure, the Tokyo International Film Festival announced it will screen the controversial award-winning American documentary about the annual dolphin hunt in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, at the nine-day event in October.
The decision to screen "The Cove," which has already soured relations between Taiji and the town of Broome, its sister city in Australia, attracted attention following media reports that it had been rejected for what the film's director called a "hypocritical reason."
When organizers announced the lineup for the twenty second annual film festival, TIFF Chairman Tom Yoda singled out "The Cove," explaining the decision to include the documentary was made after the festival had reached an agreement with the movie's producers to take full responsibility should any problems arise from the screening.
UK Retailer Tesco's Linked to Slaughter
Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Greenpeace are reported to have revealed that Tesco PLC, a large UK retailer has been linked to products from Japan's controversial hunting of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
EIA Cetacean Campaigns Manager, Clare Perry said: "C Two-Network are selling internationally protected species, and as such, are not only sustaining the market for these products in Japan, but are supporting Japan's refusal to abide by the international ban on commercial whaling."
Their investigations have allegedly exposed Japanese supermarket chain C Two-Network, a member of the Tesco Group, as selling fresh cetaceans products in 10 stores and canned products in 32 of its 78 stores. Tesco purchased more than 95% of the Japanese company in July 2003.
The products are sourced from the Kyokuyo and Nissui. These companies sell the meat from the hundreds of Bryde's, Minke and Sei whales that are killed each year in the name of science. According to staff working at the supermarkets, fresh meat from 'toothed whales', a generic term for dolphins, porpoises, and small whales, is also sold.
Richard Page, Greenpeace Ocean Campaigner said: "We are appealing to Tesco to use its ownership of C Two-Network to bring about an end to the sale of cetacean products in C Two-Network stores. Tesco's UK customers will be appalled to learn that Tesco is so closely linked to the sale of whale meat." http://www.squidoo.com/dolphinslaughterinjapanBowing to international pressure, the Tokyo International Film Festival announced it... more
