On a High at Pinot Paradise Weekend

Santa Cruz has been in the news of late. The city is fighting with the city of Huntington Beach in Southern California over the use of the name, “Surf City,” and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The boardwalk was once promoted as the “Coney Island of the West,” and is now the last of its kind on the West Coast. It is a throwback to simpler times, when ferris wheels, wooden roller coasters, and cotton candy were part of everyone’s childhood memories. The boardwalk is still going strong and this year there will be fireworks, concerts, and appearances by the Moscow Circus to commemorate the anniversary.

And there's more, including 20 tasting notes for wines from 13 wineries!
