Film, Wine, Beer, Paint, and Sparkling


I spent some time in Napa filming inside Spa Terra and at The Meritage pool, before heading to Spelletich Family Wines for a wine tasting event with the Crusher Wine District (about 10 wineries all within walking distance of The Meritage). Once back in Roseville I went to Out of Bounds Brewing with my dad for a tour and some great tasting beers, before having dinner at Boneshaker Community Brewery (I needed wine by that point in the evening), a lamb burger and Mac 'n Cheese with Beets was a fun twist too. On Sunday I was with my mom, we watched as David Garibaldi painted an inspiring portrait of Jesus and a child at Bayside Blue Oaks, before heading to Early Toast for mimosas and omelets.
Photos for those with iPads.

Roseville Galleria - Rebuilding Together

Image
Just a quick post to show pictures of the newly reopened Roseville Galleria (as you may recall I helped break the news on Sunday ). Only 41 stores open today, although about 70 have permits that basically say they can open when they are ready.  A few more, including Banana Republic will be opening tomorrow.  In speaking with a sales associate at GAP, they confirmed my suspicions that the person that started the fire (okay "suspected" arsonist) did not come out wearing GAP clothing as he originally claimed.  It was most likely Anchor Blue or a similar store.  The mall did have a smell a little bit like smoke and cleaning products, but overall was clean and comfortable.  The wall that has been constructed to block off one section includes quotes that were written on the Galleria's Facebook page .

Perspectives 2012 and Elevendy

Image
Thursday was a day of business and networking. I started off at the Sacramento Convention Center hearing five amazing speakers, all with a different perspective at the Sacramento Metro Chamber's Perspectives 2012 . What did I learn from listening to Peter Sheahan , Arianna Huffington , Vicente Fox , Howie Long and Dick Cheney ? In a sentence, to continually innovate, ask questions and strive for change. Yes some focused on business, others on politics and their personal story, but it all broke down to looking at a situation from a new perspective and not settling for the status quo, even in the face of opposition. Perhaps the most inspirational quote of the day came from former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox ... "The American Dream is better termed a Dream of the Americas . We all share it." Arianna Huffington also had a good one, "Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a stepping stone to success." After Perspectives I headed back out to Rosevill...
