Ghirardelli Square "Uncorks" on May 16th. This annual event in San Francisco is a favorite among bay area dwellers and tourists. With over 50 wineries participating in this palate pleasing soiree there is enough to go around for everyone.

I have been to this event many times and I absolutely love it. In addition to the wineries there are cooking demonstrations which are always a favorite of mine and live music which for me is the main event at this festival.

The event is free however if you buy tickets there is an unlimited availability of wine tasting throughout the festival.

I also want to personally thank Lyndsay Maxon for this fantastic annual event. So, come on out to the square on the 16th and join the fun.

For more information including a schedule of events visit the Ghirardelli Square website.

Oh, Jo, I won't be back from my cruise until the 17th...what luck...I hate to miss this shindig. I will just have to sit in the wonderful wine bar on the Mariner and toast you guys while I'm at sea. Hope the weather stays nice.

It does sound like fun. I love the taste of wine, but I don't drink. I've only ever had little sips. It's the only alcoholic drink I've ever found pleasant.

Hollywood and Highland Center

Make sure to click the images to enlarge. These photos should be viewed up close and personal. I absolutely loved the Hollywood and Highland center. It is located along Hollywood Boulevard and is the center of attention. Although it houses restaurants and retail shops, I see it as much more than your average mall. It is an open air complex which I really like. The retail shops and restaurants surround the main complex from the plaza area up to the second and third floors which you can visit by taking either the stairs or escalator on the far sides of the center. The plaza area is complete with some small retail kiosks and a small fountain to cool you during those Summer months. What really fascinated me about this center is all of the intricate artwork as you can see detailed in these photos. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. I walked around for about an hour just snapping shots of the creative artistry. I don't know the history but when you walk up the entrance sta
