I must admit I had preconceived notions about Olivo Verde. And a little tale might explain why. It goes back about 25 years. I was doing the daily discussion of the night before with my number one art director Melanie. Much to my amazement she told me that she had...
To Don Day, birria was always something to get really excited about. Because birria was one of those Mexican dishes that Don Day had never tried. Ever in his life. As Don Day moves from the bottomless bucket list to the little pail used for sand at the beach list, it...
This blog was written a few weeks ago. It was when Don Day’s friend Lil was visiting San Miguel and had just returned from La Europea, the town’s best wine store. It was there that a very knowledgable sounding customer recommended Montevina to her as...
Don Day thanks Mike MacLaverty and Marshall Postnikoff for some of the photos in today’s blog. I think it’s safe to already call it a tradition. It’s the one day a year that a dozen overgrown men sit around and get too much sun, drink to much beer...
