We walked into V. Sattui expecting to pay $15 each for a wine tasting. Surprise, surprise… V. Sattui comps the $15 tasting fee for active duty military personnel (and me too). Turns out the weekend was full of comps because V. Sattui isn’t the only one in Napa Valley that appreciates servicemembers with free or discounted pours.

Tomatillo Tex-Mex Grill: A Taste of Texas in the Heart of South Korea
Mexican food is a hit or miss proposition.

Best in Asia: Experience the Gaggan Tasting Menu Bangkok, Thailand
I’m no foodie but I know when its good and trust me Gaggan Anand is a really good cook. He’s also really nice, funny, creative, he’s the owner and creator of the TOP RATED restaurant in Asia for the last two years.
