We tried the new Cabo Wabo Rock ‘N Ritas at Chevys Fresh Mex last weekend. They were pretty good. Mine was rimmed (huh huh) with watermelon sugar. So yum.

Banned in Alabama!

From KSBW news:

A wine label showing a nude nymph is too much for Alabama’s liquor control agency, which has told restaurants and stores not to sell the product.

The label on Cycles Gladiator wine, produced by Hahn Family Wines in Soledad, Calif., shows a vintage 1895 advertising poster for Cycles Gladiator bicycles. The French poster features a nude nymph flying beside a winged bicycle.

Oh well, more for everyone else, I guess.

Kula Ranch Island Steakhouse

Heather — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 05:49:09 +0000

Kula Ranch Island Steakhouse in Marina was opened by the incomparable Billy Quon and a business partner. He told us that he recently sold his share and is now spending most of his time at The Volcano Grill, his restaurant in Carmel Valley Village. My pictures aren’t so great (I’m blaming the extremely low light. And maybe the Kryptonite), but here they are!

Kula Ranch Menu.

"Kula Kryptonite - Midori Melon Liqueur, Parrot Bay Rum, 151 Rum & Pineapple Juice, shaken & strained into a rocks glass" "Mai Tai - Cruzan Rum, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, Fresh Lime, Crème de Almond, then topped with a float of Myers Dark Rum"

Yes I like piña coladas......and gettin' caught in the rain. I know, I'm a dork.

Cheesy Garlic Bread that reminds me of mushy stuffing. Blecch, actually. And they give you a ton of it!

Pu Pu Platter - "Miso-Glazed Steak Bits, Grilled Calamari Strips, Teriyaki Wings, & Coconut Prawns"

Big Island Fish Tacos - "Fresh Seafood sautéed in Olive Oil & Kula House Blend Cajun Seasoning, served in Flour Tortillas w/ Mixed Greens, Big Island Salsa, Cheddar & Jack Cheese, & Sour Cream; Tequila Black Beans & Steamed White Rice"

Chocolate Eruption Cake - "Molten Ganache & Raspberry Coulis with Rich Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream"

Kula’s Cheesecake - "Hazelnut & Almond Crust with a Citrus Strawberry Garnish"

Hahn Merlot

When I was at a local restaurant awhile back, I noticed that they had mini bottles of Hahn Merlot. The Hahn Vineyards are where I found the beautiful autumn foliage, and I’d been wanting to try their wine. It sucked*, heh.

*Update: I have since come to the realization that I just plain hate Merlot. Gimme a nice Cab any day!
