CALI FLEA

THE VENTURA EDIT:

ALISAL

ON THE LAST TRIP TO CALI WE HEADED OVER TO THE ALISAL RANCH IN THE SANTA YNEZ VALLEY FOR A COUPLE DAYS STAY. THE ALISAL HAS BEEN OPENED AS A GUEST RANCH SINCE 1946 AND IS COMPLETELY TRAPPED IN TIME.

FARM SHOP

FARM SHOP IN THE BRENTWOOD COUNTRY MART HAS OPENED THEIR ARTISAN MARKET-FILLED WITH GREAT STUFF FROM CALI. THE SELECTION INCLUDES THE OBVIOUS (WINES AND CHEESES) TO THE UNEXPECTED (ICE CREAM AND BEANS). THE IMPRESSIVE INTERIORS WERE DONE BY MY FRIENDS AT COMMUNE. (ALSO BEHIND THE HEATH STORE IN LA AND ACE HOTEL AND SWIM CLUB) WE HAD DRINKS AND BAR SNACKS FROM THE CHEESE COUNTER. (THE SMOKED PISTACHIOS FROM SANTA BARBARA ARE EPIC) I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK FOR DINNER.
